Looks like JAST was like Trolling to get a free script agreement.. lol
@asr JAST licensing this can actually be
BAD, if they decided to use
THEIR OWN translation script, that means more waiting. They haven't even finished Demonbane yet they have guts to troll.
That is trolling how?
They paid tlwiki Osadai staff for the translation.
Why would they use their own if they're using tlwiki's script? At most they'll probably go through it and minor changes etc.
Demonbane's delay is because of Nitro+'s own slowness in dealing with their own engine rather then outsourcing.(old news)
LOL, like said, somewhat like a troll.
since they're raking up on the stuff that the TLteam did and expect for free, now JAST has the potential to rake off more money.
and like said
it would be bad if they decided to go dumb and actually use their own script.
From my "Economic perspective" it's kinda unethical and dirty to use this method of licensing.
"Oh, let's just wait and buy the license for it when it's done, we get more the money while we didn't work on anything." kind of dirty.
In the end I respect mangagamers more just because they do their own translations from the start. I would react differently if they cooperated with TLwiki from the early stage of the translation.
In the end this will also affect the release date. Just like what happened with Sumaga. Sumaga was so close to a finished translation, which if it wasn't licensed we already played it by now. Once again, they (read: JAST and NITRO+) opted to do Demonbane which has zero translation at that moment First, while doing nothing to the Sumaga translations.
I know that, "we can't do much if it involves licensing" but JAST's move is just dirty. In the end JAST will receive more money than the TLteam if they didn't have any royalties. It's just like a novelist paying someone to make them a novel.
People (read:people that doesn't frequent TLsites) that buy it will remember it's game by JAST not by TLwiki. Eventhough they put names in the credits, it's still a JAst production in the end.
So, Please post something that will make this "less dirty" in my eyes...
@nekomimiko
Personal question, how would you feel if you got the same treatment on your Katahane Project?
