That doesn't seem nearly as understandable. I don't think they'd lose all that many sales if there were a few copies going on sale early and a few places that got them a week late. And, honestly, we kinda need games these days. As unimportant as it might seem, people need distractions. |
It is more like they don't want people getting their experience spoiled because they will only be able to play 1 month after others have played and written on the internet. For something that is very story heavy that isn't a good thing. 1 or 2 days avoiding spoilers and that very few people outside of reviewers (who know not to spoil) get the game over 2 days before street date so avoiding spoilers in that situation is a lot easier than a month difference.
