  • Japan getting bonuses has been a thing for a long time and not exclusive to video games. I remember having to use less than legal ways to get exclusive songs off CD releases from some of my favorite musical artists because only Japan got those exclusives. And they didn’t hide it either. The CD literally said “Japanese exclusive”.

    The only reason I’ve found is that it’s to encourage Japanese customers to buy the merchandise in their region and not buy outside of it. I’ve heard it had to do with a weaker currency’s valuation in the Yen and so giving them exclusives made it less likely they’d buy from another country to save cash by getting the exact same product. That’s also partly why region locks are a thing to prevent people from buying in a cheaper region.


  • Would be nice to get Minecraft in Steam too

    Edit: just came on to find all these replies. What I mean is that I abandoned Windows and only use macOS and Linux now. I prefer Bedrock over Java and there is no way I am aware of to play Bedrock except using something like the Android version which isn’t the same.

    I just wish we could get a release on Steam in addition to the launcher and other ways we currently have. If nothing else than putting the launcher in Steam and a way to somehow use Proton to play it in Linux, at the very least.

    Microsoft doesn’t want that to happen for obvious reasons, so this won’t ever happen.
