because despite Europe being the home of DICE, the main part of the series' support base is in the US... So by releasing it there first, boom, instant support from the US fanbase. Then they keep us Europeans/RoW waiting/angering, and release it once the tension builds enough. Except by then IGNorant's gone and given it less than 10 and BOOM, everyone now hates EA.
