Over the years, I've really come to respect those guys. I've only played so many of their games, but they're better about these things than most. Is it PR? Absolutely. But it's better PR, and it's very specific PR.
It's "PR" in that this is spun to look positive, but honestly, they're being very candid and truthful about their business practices. I think most Atlus fans should embrace their reasoning if not their policy: they went out of their way to make a game accessible to two regions at once, and don't want one market to cannibalize the work they put in for two different regional editions.
