I'm planning to get the OS X and iOS versions as soon as they come out. But currently, I only have access to the Japan Mac & iOS App Stores (that's where I live).
WIll the game be available here too, apart from the obvious N.America & European stores?

You guys might need to clarify how much BGEE will cost in each store then. Will you guys be doing direct conversions of the price? I hope so, because many companies love to screw Europeans by doing a 1$ -> 1€ conversion when currently 1$ is actually around 0.816€
At least by buying directly from you guys I can get the PC version for 18$, which even including the conversion tax from my bank is still far less than 18€.
EDIT: Though I acknowledge that its possible that companies do direct conversions due to differences in taxes in the EU, but I'm not really convinced.
The game Chaos Rings is 4 $ atm in the US store and 28 Sek in the swedish store. So Apple seem's to keep the same price across the board.
That's good to know. It really ticked me off that Diablo III was 60€ over here.
For example lets take: Tier 10, which corresponds to;
USD: $9.99
CAD: $9.99
MXP: $120
AUD: $10.49
NZD: $13.99
YEN: $850
EURO: $7.99
CHF: $10.00
NOK: $70.00
GBP: $6.99
DKK: $59.00
SEK: $75.00
CNY: $68
SGD: $12.98
HKD: $78.00
TWD: $300
Otherwise if localised versions were treated as completely different apps (differing bundle ID) and managed in isolation, this would be the only way to set prices independantly based on region.
Actually, I always prefer to play games/watch movies in the original language, cause it's usually much better, so I really hope, that we'll get an english version to buy!
Please, remember that BG series has fans from allover the world:)))
And thanx for ur work, btw!!!
They actually have plans for a Russian translation of BGEE, but they're not sure if it'll be ready at launch. If it isn't its going to be added to the game in a post-release patch.
Regardless, when you buy BGEE, the game will have all languages in a single version.
As far as I know, all languages will be available in every BGEE, there isn't a separate BGEE for each language.
by the way if i get bored, i can always turn to e.g. French version for completely new gaming experience (not understanding a word of what is said is like playing a new game!)
