One minor gripe
I've just lost a days game play because of a stupid option that wasn't put in the game.
Why ignore the country setting on peoples PCs? We have different date formats because that is what our countries have settled on as their standard, so forcing everyone to use American date formatting is not on.
Even a manual choice between US format or ISO 8601 would be better than no choice.
Please, go and look at your sales figures, see how many copies of S&M you've sold in Europe and then tell us we're not worth a simple bit of programming like date formatting.

Is it your big problem ?
I'm from the UK and when I play American games I remember the date is written differently there, likewise with Japanese versions of games (they write it year first). I don't see why the American companies should have to accommodate me, personally - I can understand the way they write dates just fine!
whoop dee doo
Couldn't remember if the last save game you made was in april or november?
and besides... why not just load the autosave if you mess something up? You'll only go back like 5 minutes.
Because the US date 03-03-2004 doesn't work in European format 03-03-2004?
Exactly.
