@Ben_Whiteboy @serenaatrandrak @magozone23 It has made pirating more convenient since I can just download raws now, yes. But those raws still aren't guaranteed to be available for me to directly purchase legally, especially out of print ones

@FinalCort @Superpony2012 @serenaatrandrak @magozone23 Because that's a screenshot and I'm not selling it as a product. What kind of example is that. You say potential loss but where has that potential been lost. In their market. There is no market elsewhere so you can't claim there is nothing to lose. You enter their market.

@Ben_Whiteboy @Superpony2012 @serenaatrandrak @magozone23 I will take 100 screenshots of this tweet. Do you lose -100 tweets if I do that? No because we live in the age of digital goods. Copying data doesn’t result in “real loss” because we can infinitely replicate at no cost. It a “potential loss” of a sale.

@Superpony2012 @serenaatrandrak @magozone23 Then if you aren't going to bother to buy it from them because you can't understand it perhaps the product is not meant for you... You're blaming them when the problem is you.

@Ben_Whiteboy @serenaatrandrak @magozone23 If they want to sell it to me in another market, then yes they have to translate it thats how it works, I wasnt going to buy it from the other market because I'm not from there so they didnt lose anything, I got the product they wherent going to give me, thats it

@Superpony2012 @serenaatrandrak @magozone23 Oh my god because that's stealing! Where did your copy come from originally? Their market. You have cost their market -1 sales. Your market is not in the equation. I said it before, you're assuming that it needs to be catered to you....

@Ben_Whiteboy @serenaatrandrak @magozone23 If the japanese want to sell things they have to make it available, if they don't want money from another market then why You complain when that other market doesnt give them money? If they don't want money from here then piracy it's not a stealing or a problem

@Superpony2012 @serenaatrandrak @magozone23 Those are barriers you have to overcome if you want to have it. It wasn't made for you in the first place yet you are insistent that you must have it catered for you. Do they want money from another market, probably not. That doesn't give you the right to steal...

@Ben_Whiteboy @serenaatrandrak @magozone23 But I'm not in their market, I live in the other side of the world, so I literaly can't buy anything from there and can't understand it even if I go there, if you want money from another market then you have to translate or people are going to take translation in piracy

Received Clockwork Knight 2 in the mail and beat it. If they had just waited and released these as one (like the special edition in Japan), this would easily have been a very desired game for the platform in the day

@Ben_Whiteboy @serenaatrandrak @magozone23 If they arent coming to my market that means they arent selling anything here, so they arent making any money here, witch means piracy it's not stealing because they arent losing any money, if they want the money from this market they have to put in the work to translate

@Superpony2012 @serenaatrandrak @magozone23 There's a problem of assumption with what you're saying. There is absolutely zero obligation on their end to translate it. If that's the case, then you need to learn their language as it's for their market, not yours.

@Ben_Whiteboy @serenaatrandrak @magozone23 Yeah thats the problem and the reason piracy exist, if the japanese companies don't translate their products and don't sell them overseas we can't buy them or use them, thats why piracy translations are used, you wouldnt use Twitter if an american company didnt transate the app

@Otome_chan311 I think it's more so the point that it's a product that shouldn't even be in your hands. They streamed it on a service in the 90's and that was it. The preservation of it is in their company headquarters most likely.

Pirating Zelda AST is wrong! Spend millions of dollars to buy out Nintendo and then play it legally! 😂 😂 This has to be a joke right? Because if not wow Japan is just trashing their own reputation 😂 😂 😂

@Ben_Whiteboy @elyperish they don't have to, and I wouldn't be learning an entire language if I didn't want to do things right, what I'm saying is that I think it's fair to say fuck that and do it the easy way when the company is putting a billion barriers in the way of doing things correctly

I just can't understand when japanese people make this argument, you don't want me to buy the game? fine, but I'll still play it and you'll have missed out on the profit because of your own decisions, you don't get to complain

@magozone23 Sorry , but what you are failing to understand is here "overseas" we are not getting the same stuff you get now. There's a delay in publishing, and mangas that does not blow up in Japan wont come here. We don't have the means to read the manga that are pirated officially.

@aziz_hadidi @elyperish Why do you feel they have the obligation to sell it to you? If it's something you want, then surely you'd be willing to go to the efforts of accessing it properly

@elyperish do I have to play it? no, there's plenty of other stuff out there, but am I going to let some company tell me what to do when they won't even take my money the right way? also no

1.連載雑誌きららMAXを買ってください。 送料のかからない電子版で大丈夫です。たとえばbookwakerは、日本外からも登録・購入・視聴が可能です。 bookwalker.jp/dee46be225-6f1… 2.自分で翻訳してください 今そのポストを送ってるスマホに翻訳機能がありますよ 非常に簡単ですね👍 どこに海賊版の必要が?

@Fomalhaut173987 @ElLordGlamour @nalltama They aren’t at fault because its not distributed into their country For example: I wanted to read the rest of Bocchi The Rock however they are in a japanese magazine, and i don’t live in japan or know japanese. Then what would i move to?

@spaztron64 That is just not true. The only people who profit from second hand sales are places like Super Potato and Book Off. The only reason prices are this high is because foreign visitors actually not those prices.

Never forget that a good chunk of them who shame you on grounds of morality and copyright are doing it for the sole purpose of propping up resale value on the second hand market. The irony is that with SaaS/live service... there is no resale value, so this mentality is pointless
Amber 🧡@h0pearcana

japanese twitter users will tell you that you can’t play a game if the original creators won’t profit from it, and then they’ll go to hard-off
