released the patch while mangagamer and age had ongoing talks. Japanese companies are very slow and talking takes a lot of time and going back and forth on positions, Ixrec took the silence from mangagamer as being left in the dark and threw a hilarious tantrum releasing the patch
good times

Yeah, true enough. Honestly though these localization groups seem like a bunch of over-entitled faggots sometimes. I mean really it's not our jobs to be "supporting" their industry. It's up to those who are actually a part of the industry to build it up. And if they fail, and go bankrupt, then that's just too damn bad. That's what it means to run a business. Throwing hissy fits and blaming their customers (or target demographic who fail to become customers) is just retarded. Looking at you, Kouryuu.

>> No.9260321

>>9260303
Normally I would agree, but in this case Ixrec approached the industry with two translations, and then disappeared. It would be different if MangaGamer had sought him out after working out a deal, but in this case Ixrec triggered months of discussion, and then said fuck it.

Not that I think there is a problem with that, I think we came out better with having Ixrec translate what he wants on his own schedule. But this isn't exactly Ixrec just simply choosing to not support the industry.

>> No.9260357

Oh god, I would love it if Ixrec introduced himself during the Q&A panel. It's something I'd nearly go to the convention itself for.

I wish I hadn't have attempted to read Schatten when it was released.
It was a tedious task and my Japanese was so very, very far from sufficient, yet I struggled through all the way to the end. I spoiled myself unnecessarily while only understandiing half of what was going on.

I am still convinced that the work is great, so I am a bit excited for this. I suppose it will take me rereading it to reevaluate my opinion, looking forward to it.

They intentionally stuck one of the most extreme scenes at the very beginning to shock readers and grab their attention.

euphoria would actually be a good choice for Mangagamer to license because they get a lot of people wanting Blackcyc stuff and euphoria should help satisfy the demand for dark and extreme eroge. Plus it's a great game.

I think the interest here is in Softhouse trying to push their games over here in the west. So it's not the translators' fault that's the type of games they have to translate. It would be fair that they get paid the same for any game, story or nukige, independent of the complexity of it.

And JAST's got three titles that were finished years ago, though in their defense that's largely the fault of Nitro+.

If anything I'd assume they enjoy translating shitty nukige the most. They're salaried, I believe.

The only hard thing about translating nukige is making out what exact muffled variation of "YOUR PENIS TASTE SO GOOD" is being said during the copious blowjobs.

Beyond that the scripts are short, and half of it's moan sfx that is translated with a simple find-replace. Lots less work for the same amount of money.

>> No.9277306

Don't forget that they're just releasing the first half of ef too, not the whole thing. So you get to pay to play half of what you already played two years ago.

For better or worse, MangaGamer looks to have a very rapid pace. It looks to be nearly monthly, with nukige filling in the time between non-nukige titles. The main question though is what happens early next year, do they stick with just Seal Soft and Nexton nukige, or do they continue to pick up other titles as well.

>> No.9277822

So, do I understand right that MangaGamer has announced nothing but nukige? I've been noticing a decrease in serious titles, but is MangaGamer going to go full nukige now? The only non-nukige still on their schedule is a fan translated title, and we just had the 'big announcements'.

I'm sure they would like to add more non-nukige in their repertoire, but it's hard to convince VN companies to branch out. I personally blame Rapelay for all this.

They probably are actually making money on nukige and taking losses on big titles.

Hey, you know why we have localization companies? To get those companies to release their games internationally and translate them. MG and JAST are supposed to be the ones building the market here. If they're only going to publish nukige, they're only making a quick buck at the expense of the market (reinforcing the notion that VNs are nothing but porn). The market does not exactly need parasites in its current state.

I've supported them all this time, buying their non-nukige, but if they're going to just be JAST 2.0 they can go bankrupt for all I care. Publishing cheap nukige adds NOTHING to either the market or the community.

>> No.9278144

I'm not opposed to nukige being localized but I wish we could get some more high profile ones. you know you're shit tier when even porn companies look down on you.

>> No.9278450

I despise the current situation, and I don't need translations to play the shitty nukige they translate, but let me tell you that they're a fucking company, not an NPO.

And I used to be a customer. Companies are supposed to please their customers, or those customers will refuse to give them the money they need to survive. It's fine if they're going to please horny teen schmucks who'll pay for anything with the word 'hentai' on it, but they shouldn't expect to have any actual fans (who commercially serve as regular customers) if they stop publishing anything decent.

I'm just disappointed as a former fan. You'd especially think that with bamboo (head of Overdrive) being the head of the company they'd try to do more than just get some cheap bucks.

Nobody really asked or said anything about Chou Dengeki Stryker? Weird, since it's Overdrive I thought they'd at least mention it.

It would be bad business to announce that they're going to release the ultra complete version of the game they released 2 or 3 weeks ago.

If there was one pleasant thing about this year's panel, it's that they didn't spend it on begging for business. Maybe MG is doing slightly better at the moment, to the point they don't have to resort to attempts at guilt-tripping their customers into buying their products.

>> No.9280165

>>9279523
Or maybe they know their audience and realize that guilt-tripping only work for customers buying non-nukige. I mean, what's the last time you've heard anybody preach about legally obtaining porn?
