Gamers in Japan were the real early access testers of yesteryear. Major bugs or glitches that were there were hopefully fixed by the time the game hit international release.
It’s honestly weird to remember that international releases were delayed months or years just a couple decades ago. Could you imagine if it took a year for BotW to release in the West?
Modern companies still get stupid about it by forgetting time zones exist. Australian journalists have caught hell for “breaking embargo dates” or “somehow playing the game early.” Nah. You said such-and-such date, not some specific time in Greenwich. It’s already tomorrow there.
