@GFJmember yeah, it references the European release date (which is usually across the whole of Europe or PAL as it used to be). As we're a UK-based site, and the vast majority of our staff are in the UK we tend to lead with GBP instead of EUR. This is also true in terms of audience, behind the US the UK is our next biggest audience and far bigger than all the EUR countries.
The flag represents Europe, including the UK, so it isn't "wrong" as such.
@antdickens Though if I see a European flag next to a price, I instinctively expect the price to be in Euros, and I think I can safely say that pretty much everyone would too. Similarly, if I were to associate a flag with GBP, I would say the UK flag, as I believe nearly everyone would.
I of course understand it's not a massive issue, just a minor niggle that bugs me x3
@GFJmember I know it's a minor detail, but the flag is (deliberately) next to the date, rather than the price. The release date is European-wide, and then we just include the GBP price. We're starting to track some EUR prices now, but not universally. If we added in the EUR price it would simply be listed after the GBP price, rather than on a whole new line that repeated the date and the flags would remain the same.
