I can buy TP from all over the world, but I have to live in the US to get a chance of winning TP?
That’s really weak :/

Another potato winner here. I wonder about the legal considerations behind the country choice they have made.

The biggest fan may not have access to stuff or ability to craft a video even if they are amoung the chosen few locations. Discounts the fans that write fiction or use the ingame music system to compose some pretty awesome music. Or even the big fans that actually liked last years anniversary grind.
Presumably there are cheap direct flights to boston from the ones they picked. Although I’d have thought France would have those. No passport and not enough HD space for video making so meh from me.

No, it’s more likely that they already have lawyers in those three countries. Having a world-wide contest means you have to comply with every contest law in every country, and that’s virtually impossible.
I mean, just look at the terms; it’s a 4,000+ word document that’s quite a bit different for the US, UK, and Germany (and not just that it’s in German!).
