Had to do multiple checks to make sure this wasnt an April Fools joke. Still wondering if it is, where all kinds of news syndicates are in cahoots with each other. http://www.thestar.com/article/611472 http://montrealtechwatch.com/2007/08/20/all-video-games-in-quebec-to-be-avalaible-in-french/…
It's never that simple. They have an inferiority complex. At the very least, it has to be bilingual packaging, and the french manual has to cover up the back of the box so us no good anglos can't read it. People who don't speak French in Quebec often get discriminated against, or have to put up with abuse that the cops…
It sucks when the french manual to the game you want has to be attached to the back of the DVD case under the shrink wrap causing you to not be able to read the back of the case. Instea dof putting a bilingual thing there, it's just in french.

The european versions usually come out later though, and not all of them have all the languages included, especially games heavy on recorded dialogue etc (cause of disk space I imagine). Plenty of games in France only have french.
Yeah, I hate these kind of laws... I hate having to be careful when buying games, to make sure they aren't in some atrocious french dubbing, often with no way to switch to the original language (thank god for steam which lets me get all my games in English).
Quebec is like the kid that lives in the basement, wants to move out, but still wants the perks of living in said basement. :poly142: Also, the quebec government is constantly trying to fight it's little war against the continuing redundancy of French Canadian culture, and tries to protect it against natural selection.…
