You know, when I saw that they were going to be making ESO in French and German, I thought it was a total misread of the gaming populace out there. First of all, most Germans speak decent English, especially younger Germans. So translating the game to German is a complete waste of time.
French is great for France, Quebec, Haiti and a handful of African countries. But how many people from France, Quebec, Haiti and Africa are going to be playing this game in comparison to Spanish and Portuguese speaking people? Very few.
Brazil has a MASSIVE gaming community. Countries like Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Mexico all have a sizable middle class with money to spend on nice computers and PC games.
Big mistake, IMO.
They should have made it English, Spanish and Portuguese. Hell, Mandarin, Japanese and Korean all make more sense to have then German or French. Huge gamers in the Far East.
