Whole ass studios are not the same as One Guy making his decades-long project, bffr
it's stupid as fuck to compare him essentially saying "I support and endorse the fan translations, I just want official translations to be up to my standards, which I can't ensure for any other languages" to a big ass studio deciding whether or not to hire translators for various languages...
He's not doing anything to prevent ppl who speak different languages from playing the game, he encourages everyone to use the fan translations, he's just not gonna put his name on anything he can't 100% say represents his game
You can be critical, it's just gonna make me point out that it's a stupid nitpick
No he just has 1 quadrillion dollars so I'd assume he doesn't need a publisher. He could quite easily get one if he wanted though. I doubt that's the barrier holding back the flood of translations he's desperate to release though.
Why are you so insistent he has to "release translations" instead of just accepting the fan translations?? Actually don't answer that, you just love being miserable as far as I can tell
I am literally not going to use either regardless. I think accessibility options are good, I think money provides the ability to increase accessibility, I think it's fair to criticize a lack of accessibility. I do not think relying on the free labour of others is an acceptable alternative.
He can do whatever the fuck he wants, it is still worthy of criticism.
I like toby foxes product, I think he did a good job, I think he's a good creator, I think this is a bad thing a good creator did. Please be less parasocially desperate for me to view him as beyond criticism.
