PT ip-blocked.....

The worst situation I had concerned and predicted from early days of PT had launched had happened Project torque procedure ip-block from non-American ip.

It is really sad that Aeria should have bought up world wide license of Project torque before Gamigo did.

Gamigo had agreement with Gamepot (and Invictus) which have exclusive license world wide except North America, so they have right to publish "rest of the world" territories.

from early stage of PT I repeatedly emphasis on PT is just a north american service, not world wide because I wanna push up Aeria to buy up world wide license to ensure players enjoy PT forever. But...Aeria didn't do it. At the result, all we know, the tragedy had happened.
