Motivations behind region restrictions in games

Agreed; the barriers already exist... why make them stronger? Give users better tools to handle barriers, don't just brick them up.

What tools do you imagine would mitigate signal latency and the language barrier? Superluminal switching and real-time machine translation would be wonderful, but are not, er, supported by the current state of the art.

-- Steve thinks it's far easier to demand these tools than it is to supply them.
