Did anyone tell you to get excited about this?

Well I hope that there would be some effect on India with this and gaming condition would improve or its just another site on the face of earth.

IGN is a gaming site, Games are not released as region specific unlike gadgets then why People are getting excited

That's how you get excited about everything? or did your mom tell you to be excited about ign india?

I meant, what's the point of an indian IGN, what difference will it make? The last time gamespot separated the website for the asian region, it hardly made any difference, and for a while, the asian users were limited only to the asian website. What's the point of using internet if the world wide web is divided based on the regions too? I hope IGN doesn't block the indians from visiting the international site.

This comment says it all.

Of course you did, and I just asked what's the point of an indian IGN, and if there's any real reason to be excited about it?

Nope.

Good, I just hope they limit the indian internet users to this website just because they invested some money on it, that would be awful. Gamespot did the same two years ago, that was the last time I used it.

Instead of reviewing Indian games, we should have AAA games more accessible in India. The Indian gaming industry (whatever's the size of it) is under the serious misconception that gamers play games for the sake of playing games. That is why there such shitty games from Indian developers.

Nope. Not true.
