The EU also has more languages than the US. Even if it was legally a single market, that wouldn't make it a single market culturally.

- Nullabillity 10y agoYes, but that doesn't prevent you from just publishing it in english, initially at least.
- kalleboo 10y agoRight, and the countries with the smallest populations are more likely to have a majority population not needing subtitles.
- kalleboo 10y agoAgreed, but making things available and advertising them are different things. You can hold off advertising them until you have a dubbing or subtitle available, but people who want to watch it anyway can go ahead and find it with a direct search. In several EU countries, a majority of the population is already English-fluent (or can get by with English subtitles), and those realities aren't reflected by the market.
