About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

I am 99% sure it has nothing to do with UK law.

I doubt anyone who claims otherwise can cite a specific law which forced this specific partnership with this magazine.

Well, it's possible. Bear in mind that UK players were expected to pay more than everybody else for the Heavensward Collector's Edition and we never got any clarification or a solid explanation as to why, exactly, that was the case. In WoW, too, UK players are screwed over by being forced to pay more than players in other regions...even for purely digital services. The WoW subscription cost, for example, was specifically adjusted to go up in price for UK players - and the reasoning for that was equally flimsy/without explanation.

So, in short, it isn't only Square Enix who treat UK customers poorly. It may not be intentional but it is unlikely to be a coincidence I think.
