New Vegas' last DLCs release in Europe one day later

Europe releases a day later. That's just the way they work.

Ah, I was just about to ask why we always have to wait a day longer. Now I know.
Because that's how we roll.
Seriously, does anybody have a real answer?
 
God damnit, why the hell. And here I thought I could play it already tomorrow.
 
Guys, they are pushing it further so the USA can play test it for us. It's simple respect. :V

Also, a appropriate piece for a moment such as this:

If I were to hazard a guess, it'd be that it's Tuesday earlier in Europe. So, they publish the date everywhere online with Americans in mind, but we lowly PAL-tards have to wait an extra day, because if another nation gets DLC before the US, the terrorists have won.

I am American and I can confirm that this is exactly why we have the DHS. They don't really do anything else.

Next month, no one will even remember the delay. Just enjoy!

Yes. One thing I'd ask the american users who happen to play the game on tuesday already - please try to not put spoilers in your posts incase you want to share some first impressions with us! This is very important for me, since I accidently stumbled across spoilers back then when NV was released and it ruined some parts a bit for me. :(
 
Don't worry about me. I'm waiting for a GOTY edition, or whatever they end up calling it, or maybe a really great Steam sale to get them all at once cheap.
 
I seriously think Steam is trying to infuriate me. It's showing OWb on the front store page under "Featured PC Games". Where is LR?!? Argghhhh.

Still, the biggest difference is about 9 hours. Why not let everybody have it when it's midnight in the US? Then it is morning in Europe.
Why a whole day of delay?
Just out of spite? That's just sad.
I mean, I don't even care about LR right now, I can't play it for another few days, anyway. It's about principles for me :D
 
It's the principle of the thing. *Banging fist on table*

I don't think there's anything spiteful or malicious about it. Obsidian and Bethesda are American companies, so from their point of view their main target is the USA. I imagine there are a few exceptions, but I think games are generally first released in the region they were created in.

Although they might be a bit bitter that all time zones are shown as being relative to GMT, which means that they are LIVING IN THE PAST.
 
It's easy to sink up release on Steam, which is more liberal about it, than Xbox and PS3. The PlayStation Network in particular is a nightmare, I think it partitions by regional release and absolutely refuses to do a worldwide simultaneous release. They could easily just release it worldwide on Steam simultaneously and then later on consoles, but that'd be unfair.
