Thats pretty backward thinking..

I´m for English ONLY releases. World would be better place if all ppl could understand each other..


I'm German. I know English as well.

And the better I become in the English language, the more proud I become of my own language !

English-only releaes would restrict the game to only those who have learned the English language in their own countries - and don't forget: That's not all !

A few frriends I know are excellent Musicians plus they are very good in Mathematics, too ... - and they have never learned English !

You say you want English-only releaes. This makes me believe you have never learned why The LOrd Of THe Rings exists : Because Tolkien originally wanted a background culture for his own invented Language, Quenya ! He firmly believed that every language needs its own culture - because a language without its culture is nothing.
I go with the belief that the thing is also valid vice versa.
So, saying that the world needs only one language is like saying : Forget all of your own cultures and combine them into one ! Into the ENglish culture, maybe !
And people will not be willing that, because this would mean to lose their (cultural) identity.

And THIS is the reason why I find it so disturbing that Belgian people seemingly do *not* want games in their own languages !
