Quebec Says 'Non' To English-Only Video Games
daveofdoom writes "The French-Canadian government of Quebec is saying 'non' to English-only video games if French versions are available. 'It's causing a lot of consternation among retailers and gamers alike, who fear the rules will lead to delays in video games arriving in the province, and may not accomplish what the law intends, which is to promote and protect the French language.' This is a ridiculous rule, as game companies can simply stop creating French versions of games to bypass the restriction."
Wow. Let the French jokes AND Canadian jokes commence!
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
"This is a ridiculous rule, as game companies can simply arret creating French versions of games to bypass the restriction."

If the French language is so great, why does it need protection?
because English people are physically incapable of chain smoking, drinking wine, being obnoxiously rude and highly insecure of their culture, all at the same time.

I was going to say, "we can do all of that!" But you ruined it.
I don't believe in time. It's a grand conspiracy designed to sell watches.
If it wasn't for us, they would be saying, "Nein! Es ist verboten!"
What?
A "pure virgin wool", eh? ;)
Now they can have the pleasure of reading Toutes votre base sont appartiennent à nous!

I could never understand their holding "pure laine" as being so special ... after all ...
Q: Where do you get virgin wool?
A: Ugly sheep.
