I'm sure this has been brought up before, but not having the option to buy the game and play it just because of living in an unsupported region is very frustrating.
I am aware that for some unknown reason Destiny 2 will not be releasing in Korea on the release day for other countries. I don't understand why Bungie has excluded Korea to begin with, while deciding to use Battle.net for their distributor when they were not going to support Korea on the release day; Blizzard and Korea have a positive and profound history - if you didn't want to capitalize on the Korean market effectively, why did you even go with Battle.net and not Steam?
Anyway, just because Korea is unsupported, doesn't mean that we shouldn't be able to join our friends in US, EU or any other supported countries (what year is it?). Korean gamers and gamers living in Korea have friends in the US, EU and more, and being barred from enjoying and progressing the game with their friends abroad is penalizing people for just being in Korea. What are you trying to tell us, don't be in Korea if you want to play Destiny 2 on PC? This is even more absurd when we consider that on the PS4, you can buy and play English versions of Destiny 2 on the Korean PSN.
I don't care about Korean servers being provided, and I don't care about Korean localization. Stripping the players in Korea of even buying and activating the game and therefore preventing me from progressing the game WITH my friends is where I have the issue; Destiny 2 doesn't even appear on my Battle.net app store, and the option to purchase on the browser store is not there. Shouldn't we have the option of accessing US, EU and other available servers regardless of where we live, like most other games?
Whats more shocking is that other than stating Korea is unsupported, the lack of response from you or Blizzard on these kinds of questions. Many Korea-based players have asked (especially in Blizzard) what are the plans for Korean release, or whether we will be able to activate the game if we purchase the game. No information or response whatsoever. Nothing. I have contacted Blizzard just before coming here, and they told me to ask and voice my opinions here - understandable since they are not the developers, but still not very helpful.
Anyway that's the background information and rant that I had to vent... my primary concern is that I whether I will be able to purchase (pre-order) the game, and also be able to activate, play and progress the game on the 24th, WITH my friends in the US. Will this be possible? Also any information as a response to my rant will be much appreciated. Thank you.
