Suppose it is far easier to label such statements pointing out what appears to be Japanese favoritism as xenophobia though, isn't it?
Xenophobia is easy to spot, just as other forms of prejudice are. You are the one making distinctions and drawing conclusions based on assumption and distinction. This topic has been discussed before and many examples of SE responding directly to the NA and/or EU player community have been put forward. As is typical they were dismissed about as glibly as you dismiss the assessment of xenophobia by those wishing to portray SE as an entity that ignores it's non-japanese customers. Engaging in further debate is pointless, there are myriad examples of companies running special rpromotions in their home markets whether American, Japanese, German, British or whatever. Market specific promotions are not an indication of bias, unles you happen to fel entitled to everything anyone else has of course. But let's not bring entitlement into this yet, someone else may wantto have that fun.
