Nope, we were talking about modern games. No sidestepping the issue.

Not to mention:

"Some foreign games may also have weird mechanisms, which I am
not sure if it's because of the file system or the way it fetches
files or it's simply a bug or whatever"

Aha, so now we have different file systems in different countries.
Aha. And those different file systems even fetch files in a different
way (whatever that is supposed to mean).

I would looooove to hear how some company managed to alter an OS file
system just to suit the needs of their country OS version just to
limit their own market.

I meant to mean it's the way the application runs. They do not use the
standard XP library for some odd reason. Like some companies just refuse
to use the standard intaller, which I found to be problematic when Windows
version changes (Creative Lab is famous for that.... You can't even get to
see the intallation screen when you try to install the driver; it happened
when I upgrade from Windows 3.1 to Win95, and again from Win95 to XP). I
told you I have not even sure what causes it, since I don't know how system
works like you guys do.

Not so sure about WinXP, but prior to that, despite they are all Windows,
Asian version of Windows have different encryption technology than that of
the U.S.. And I think it may be a problem with the codes, which are
written in non-Roman alphabets that sometimes causes some strange behavior,
which doesn't run properly, unless I install Asian character set, and
sometimes they would have conflicting versions of DirectX (e.g., Chinese
version of DirectX would sometimes cause English Windows problems and
create bad sectors). I do not know the jargons, but that's what I meant by
"fetching the files differently." The OSes may look the same (beside the
language showing) but they really were different things underneath (not as
much of a problem with XP, not sure if they changed that).
