So all french players here learned of it by accident/forum lurking....or the MOO3 disaster.

What do you mean by "in a non EU country"? Shouldn't it be in a EU country? Or in a non English-speaking country? Sorry if I don't make much sense, but I have been quite puzzled by this part.

Yes, knowning SE:IV when you are living in France is a matter of sheer luck, random lurking, or visiting sites dedicated to games not widely known. And it is next to impossible when you don't really pay any interest to X4 games.

Erh, Nark, thanks for the offer but... I hate cheese with a passion, so you should not be speaking of that evil aloud. But I might be interested in hammers though, if I was to launch my campaign against cheese... I will have to think over it.

If you have a problem with something bough from a EU country, you can have hope to get your money back, and you have quite a strong legislation protecting the customer.

Or more exactly, most people think so, as reality is quite different.

More, it is easier to compare prices within EU, and you don't have bank commissions to buy something in US$.

edited to add this point :

don't think about the cheese, just think about the wine you'll drink with it.

He meant that the game is made and sold by companies in a non-EU country (the USA).

You can have hope to get your money back in the US too.

Thanks Unknown Enemy, I was far from understanding what you initially meant. And yes you are of course right, it might draw away some people which could have been interested.

Fyron, I gather the game is sold in stores in the USA? That would be so more convenient, but hey, when you don't have enough customers for a given game, it is quite a problem.

Tragically, it is not.
