Hmm... so it was Reggie's call?

Almost certainly, but he publicly denied it and shifted the blame to Japan, saying that they are calling the shots. That doesn't make sense though, because you don't greenlight three games for the less significant European market and then refuse to bring the games to a bigger market. Not to mention that the European versions contain translations into five different languages, three of which (English, French, Spanish) cover the North American continent.

Additionally, previously Reggie took the responsibility for not bringing Disaster: Day of Crisis to America on him, saying that the quality of the voice acting isn't up to snuff and doing additional work on the game wasn't worth the effort due to expected lack of demand. Since Disaster: DoC had only received mixed reviews and wasn't selling well in either Japan or Europe, nobody really complained. Operation Rainfall was a different story though, it caused some serious backlash, hence why Reggie tried to shift responsibility away from him.

That's why Reggie is a douchebag.

Well, to me that sounds like speculation.  While it certainly looks like Reggie is the cause for this, I'm not sure if it's true.  So I'll remain neutral on the issue.
