Meh, put up and shut up. We've had to deal with behind that far behind everyone else for decades.

Hint: What do you notice about the countries for the initial release?

Yes, I thought it was quite obvious, although seeing as they do the website in English and German I would have thought it would be in English initially.

And I thought we were trying to stop using very small text?

Hmmm, and what about Scotland? Wales? Northern Ireland? I wish people would say "Britain" rather than "England" when referring to the UK (which I presume they are).

If they release it in 'Britain' first, who keeps you from ordering it online with Amazon or whatever service you prefer? And hey, then it is in English, who cares?!

I guess this a translation mistake. In german many people just say "England" if we refer to the whole island, including scotland and whales. It isn't precise but many people don't really care. Ireland is usually recognized as a separate island.

January.

They even say some things are not yet decided, i.e. the final look of curves and even the decision between 8 or 4 way system doesn't seem to have been made yet.

Anyways, we'll see in January. I won't complain if they need a few weeks more if this helps to improve the game.

if they made 4 way system then it will discourage me much from buying it

this will be like one big BUG in very nice game ... it can change everything

I discouraged even more now. The graphics are nice, the gameplay I feel is iffy, and like spaceman-spiff said, is it ready to be play-able in January?

I think you'll find that (unfortunately) that means May (20)04, not the 4th of May.
But at least it's less than a month (possibly ;)).
