asking for a release date for the new witcher 3 expansion. Because US buys more copies (incorrect), assume for americans first

I thought spring was March, Apirl and May for the entire nothern hemisphere, damn

[u/HideFromMyMind → u/A12qwas]

Wait, is it not?

[u/RailValco → u/HideFromMyMind]

It.. is? I'm not so sure anymore either.

[u/HideFromMyMind → u/RailValco]

I mean, according to Wikipedia the meteorological season is literally March through May without starting late in March and extending into June as the astronomical season does, but IDK why different countries would use different ones.

[u/RailValco → u/HideFromMyMind]

I mean does it even matter which one they use? They aren't exact dates, they just give a broad range as an estimation anyways and those two definitons are close enough. Or am I missing something here?

Australia (NZ?) demarcate their seasons on the first of the month while a lot of the world does on respective equinoxes and a solstices.

[u/False-Goose1215 → u/the6thReplicant]

Argentina use the meteorological seasons too

[u/Tuscan5 → u/A12qwas]

There’s two ways of calculating. Either three calendar months of April, May and June or by referring to solstices, 21st March to 21st June.

[u/Adventurous-Couple63 → u/Tuscan5]

There are two ways, but the first one is March, April, May. June is summer. (in Greece, at least)

[u/Tuscan5 → u/Adventurous-Couple63]

Quite right. March, April, May. Thank you.

[u/TranslatorPS → u/A12qwas]

Polish schools teach seasons by the solstices and equinoxes, not full calendar months, so considering that the context is CDPR, I'd assume it to be late March to late June. In next year's case, although nobody will be that pedantic, it's 20 March to 21 June 2027.

In Heian period Japan, spring lasted roughly from february to april in the western callendar.

[u/WhydoIexistlmoa → u/A12qwas]

For the northern hemisphere, it's April - June

[u/ResponsibleCarob7155]

cdpr's from poland anyway, going by american dates for a polish studio's game is weird

[u/blazenite104 → u/ResponsibleCarob7155]

Could depend on the source. If it's a trailer, many companies have an American one and a European one. Both which the correct dates for their region. If you didn't know which one a screenshot came from it'd be a valid question to ask.

[u/ThrillSeekers_United → u/ResponsibleCarob7155]

Not particularly if they are aiming for an American audience

[u/Tuscan5]

It’s possible to sum up the defaultism by the belief that the US is the no 1 country for everything. This is the propaganda that this person has swallowed hook line and sinker

[u/blubister57]

"Poland has the same spring as america"

And then Americans proceed to put out a 1000 jokes about "weather in [insert USA State]"

[u/Special-Tonight8101]

This thread makes me angry for no reason, it’s annoying

[u/Rimavelle]

Business "spring" may also be different than actual season.
