The fan translation is excellent. The guy who led the project, Clyde “Tomato” Mandelin, is a professional game translator with impressive credentials. He’s also written a few books on translation differences between popular games.

Yes, the fan translation is absolutely excellent. The guy who lead the project, Clyde Mandelin, is a professional Japanese-to-English translator for Funimation and runs https://legendsoflocalization.com/ as well.

That’s...not at all an inaccurate phrase for communicating the idea of sleeping in fits and starts. “Chunks” here refers to “chunks of time,” as in sleeping for fifteen minutes, waking up, and then drifting off again.

I’m not certain where you picked up your understanding of English composition (to say nothing of…

“Beloved” by whom exactly?

Why is it not okay for Steam specifically to have the 30% cut? Its the same cut that iTunes store, Google Play, GoG take. Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony all take approximately 30% on digital as well. Gamestop and other retailers take 20-25% ballpark on physical retail releases, but things get murkier…

Uplay, Origin, and B.net are company stores for Ubisoft, EA, and Activision Blizzard respectively. They bypassed (or in Blizzard’s case, never sold on) Steam to sell directly to customers. Even then, Ubi will sell on Steam, then force you into Uplay as an updater/launcher anyway. GoG Galaxy is a CD Projekt division,…

Going to be speaking with my money (and it is the only thing 2K cares about) by not buying BL3 until 2020 (if at all). And then only once it has gone down in price on steam (or GoG if that is an option). Yes, yes. I know they won’t miss one sale and it will take a lot of similarly minded people to make up for the…

Not the first time Japanese publishers equate “appealing to western audiences” with “toning down the Japanese style”... it’s a shame, really, because a lot of westerners enjoy anime as it is and would much rather enjoy something that’s faithful to the source material over something that’s been heavily adapted for…

Customers shouldn’t be expected to wait for a competitor to “get up to speed” as it ignores all the modern advances of existing encumbents. Horrible, horrible “argument”.

It’s almost like people are protesting a practice they dont want happening on pc...ye gads.

In fairness (I guess it’s fairness?) there really wasn’t anything like Epic Store before this so I don’t think steam was really adamantly keeping things exclusive. If you were, say, the developer of Hollow Knight and you were looking into how to release the game on PC, your options probably looked like this at the…

I’d be okay with this if the Epic store wasn’t so half baked right now. I think Steam gets way more love than it deserves - the UI/UX is still shit in a lot of ways, never even shooting for “good”, just “good enough”.

So you are saying they pushed back the release to April 2020?

The turtle would have eaten it if it had actually gotten that far out.

See Iv been under the impression that FFXIV is Square’s piggy bank that they keep breaking into and not filling it back up.

Counterpoint:

any executives seeing this comment: no. please give me an office with no windows.

Obligatory (re: “Pioneer”, “Dreamcast” and “Online” being mentioned in the same article):

Kept getting downvoted for saying that we are actually beta testing the game for them.

Sometimes you’re comfy on the couch, and it happens. You're already a little sleepy, just want to close your eyes for a second while it loads and BAM. It's an hour later
