I don't know, though. I think it is a pretty big deal to region lock a game on a console that has never been region locked until now. Especially when the reasoning they gave reeks of anti-consumer business practices. And when it... really doesn't cover why it's locked in every territory as opposed to just the US. If they're worried about Japanese people jumping on the cheaper US version, that doesn't explain why they region locked the Japanese one as well. Unless they just want to see Europeans suffer. Which given the history of game localisations here, probably shouldn't exactly surprise me.
I honestly believe this is definitely overblown though, because their reason is too rational for the internet.
Well, It's not really gonna affect anyone majorly, because it IS coming out in every region, just with a longer wait. I don't say I particularly agree with the decision, but Atlus seems that they will learn from this. But, really, this is mostly overreaction because of the region locking, which in this case, actually does not make that big of a difference for the consumer, and the company will still profit mostly the same.
