Okay, so it's all good that you've got radio going and such... but why are you using a provider that does not broadcast to anyone outside of the USA?

    i like how PW radio has nothing to do with PW the engine or game, its a free online radio, did you guys get referral/add points for this gracious event? we cant use any of the premium benefits and the referrer ID is visible in the link b:laugh

    next week we unleash shoutcast radio on the masses, its something new!

    It seems these days every idiot on earth seems to think that IP locks are the coolest thing ever invented...

    Gladly they can be a) easily circumvented and b) there are tons of good internet radios that actually still treat the internet like it's supposed to be... world wide.

    Very nice move to partner with a regional locked radio service, PWI... Might I humbly suggest to remove that "international" title from your name and call yourselves PW United States in the future?

    Just to be clear, the radio services don't want region locks. It's the music studios who insist on it. The studios have things set up so each region is serviced by a different negotiating organization (e.g. RIAA in the U.S., CRIA in Canada).

    So a radio service can only negotiate with the RIAA for broadcasts in the U.S., with the CRIA for broadcasts in Canada, etc. It's the studios who need to join the 21st century and set up a way for a radio service to negotiate for a worldwide broadcast license.

    Hi, I'd like an answer as to how you're able to brand this game as international when you only provide a full service to the USA.

    The radio service is stupid anyway. Needing to open it in a browser window = fail. Nagging about "upgrading" = fail. Ads about Wal-mart = fail. It's not even a "feature", more like a link. Don't worry about not being able to use the radio, because all you're missing is a link to a second-rate radio streaming site. I'll take a radio playlist, thank you.
