    Default How can you fight incorrect region licencing?

    Hi,

    i have come upon the problem of games being incorrectly licensed in the wrong region. Many mmos are allowing russian hosting companies the exclusive licensing for Estonia, lithuania, Latvia etc. even thou the countries only have 20-30%~ russian population and have been part of the EU for the past 15+ years. Furthermore the russian versions NEVER include any other languages besides russian(both website and UI) and are therefore unplayable by atleast half the of the gamers in the countries (since the new generations were never forced to learn russian). Due to IP blocks resulting in bad licensing, many of the games are unplayable (so far i have come upon about 12 such games).

    is it possible to fight this on some level? I used to look forward to playing Vindictus and Black Desert.... i can play neither of them.
