because i enjoy playing leagues i have an ego?

i don't really think of my self as conceited. i'm not really narcissitic either.

Oh, one more reason why a EU CrossFire wouldn't interest me.


ENGLISH


I want to play with english people, I want to speak english on vent, on the forums... end of the story.

So do I, so even if there would be an EU version coming sometime I wouldn't go play it, I get a bearable 48 ping here and I doubt I would make the UK community rage at me for lagging?

They will be providing services to the South American countries in due time.

I'm not talking servers, Give them their own version period.

"In the international context, a formal licensing agreement is possible only if the intellectual property right you wish to license is also protected in the other country or countries of interest to you. If your intellectual property is not protected in such other country or countries then you would not only not be able to license it, but also you would have no legal right to put any restriction on its use by anyone else."

In other words, Z8Games does not have a license in Turkey nor does any other company that licenses CF in other regions. Therefore it CAN'T be blocked or restricted, by law. Until a license to distribute CF in Turkey is bought, they can't be restricted. Simple as that. There's your answer.

As I understand it, Intellectual property and License are two different things. SmileGate owns Intellectual property over the Game CrossFire. Z8 bought a License for a right to use it. That's what License are here for : a right to use something.

In other words if SmileGate didn't protect their game worldwide (which they would be stupid not to do) then they wouldn't be able to restrict its use wherever they didn't protect it.
But Z8's License has nothing to do with what you base your answer off. If I buy a License for CF and want to restrict its use to people whose name starts by A, I'm pretty sure I can.

So either SmileGate made a stupid move and didn't protect their game everywhere possible and therefore your answer kind of apply (Turkey can't be restricted by law) or they just decided not to block countries they didn't have to even though that would have eventually cleared a lot of hackers.

I vote for the latter. I'm pretty sure they could have blocked Turkey and Egypt (two countries that holds most of the UK servers cheaters) but since they didn't have to for legal reasons, they let them alone.

I'm personnally not mad for most of Europe blocked, I just can't understand why they couldn't kill 2 birds with one stone i.e. :
- block Europe for licensing issue.
- block Turkey and Egypt for hacking issues.
