But the world isn't just "Nihon" and the "USA" either. Even if the US isn't going to stand for such a thing, it may be okay elsewhere.. If they're really doing it because they actually forget that there are other continents, well... that isn't new either (over the years of game-releases... even NieR Automata initially had region-locked "US" and "Nihon" releases).

Even if they do not wish to distribute it overseas, they could simply just leave it. Take Granblue for example; the game is technically "for Japan only", but they do not enforce a ban. The silly thing is that their website can be accessed from across the Internet, but only English lessons can be accessed (unless you are from Japan). Perhaps preventing (irresponsible) users of the Internet from accessing their games might be their goal...

(BTW, if DMM is the distributor and nearly everything on their website is region-locked, why do people say that Kadokawa is responsible for this?)
