Think of the Poor Europeans: Why Ameritrash isn't just America

Sure I've had a bad run for a while trying to come up with some decent threads and something decent to say about my hobby, but here's some shiz that went down if not a week ago then very recently that slipped under the radar. Some of you may not be interested in the whole international aspect of what I'm talking about but I think it's interesting and important enough to really get a handle on, as it explains the problems that occur to a games company that ignores an international audience. I'm talking about why Ameritrash isn't just America any more, and in a way should never have been focused on just the USA.
