Welcome to globalisation, baby. Very few companies are in one country exclusively, and are thus subject to the laws of any country they operate in. That's why Google pulled out of China years ago, to not be subject to Chinese laws (even though they're a "US" company).

For reference, both Activision Blizzard and Microsoft have very significant presence outside of the US.
