So I got incredibly excited about the fact that it turned out that the game that was announced last year as having gotten a western publishers for NA and EU was getting a release date. Excitedly I went on to the Lost Ark website and everything seemed to be working fine... I could even pre-order the game from Amazon... But then, as it turned out, I discovered that the Netherlands was getting blocked from a game AGAIN. After PSO2 and Bless Unleashed, it seems that Lost Ark is now another f2p game just saying "fuck you Dutch people!".
Let's not even go into the discussion of how geo-blocking within the European Union is a no-go, but obviously this is a massive blow to many people that happen to reside within the Netherlands and Belgium. Therefore, I decided to record this, without a script, just venting my mind. I thought it turned out well enough to be worthy of posting and so here we are. Looking back at my recording, there's still many points that I would like to make, but I suppose that might be just arguments that I'll have to make in a future video.
