Kadokawa vs. DMM - Kadokawa is the company that created, develops and maintains the game. DMM is the distributor. While Kadokawa may have a measure of say-so in where/how their game is distributed, these decisions are ultimatly up to DMM.

Again, I'm not going to pretend to know the hows and whys but I kind of equate it to a particular product showing up *only* in store (such as Walmart) such that you must go to that one store to get that particular product.

As far as why this 'region locking' is loosly enforced, I can only guess that there's more incentive to keep it like this than not.

Regarding all of the alternate/not WWII stuff - KC has already been blasted because of it's Japanese-Centric view, glossing over the Japanese acitons of WWII, pro-war and the like. To me these arguements make little sense because they also come from the same sorts of people who view Space Battleship Yamato in the *exact* same light.

This being said, if KC had a wider distribution/English translations, I can already see the fit the internet would pitch because of the historical parallels and implications with things such as 'what if Japan won Midway..." and stuff like that.

No, this outrage doesn't make sense...but let's be real here, people on the internet get angry over stupid stuff all the time and stay mad even when the reason for theri anger is taken away or undermined.

...it doesn't help that the US is one of the few places I know where someone can go on national tevevision and say "You don't need your flu shot because Jesus died and so you're protected from disease"...and people actually, genuinely believe it.
