How is asking someone to pay for a game they want to play pretentious?
How is asking someone to have a copy to be able to use their translation put themselves up on a pedestal?
That to me is a pretty reasonable request.

Of course, I can understand people not being able to afford the game and resort to pirating, I've been to third world countries, I know what it's like to see (non pirated)games sell for the equivalent price of months of a working man's wage. There are a lot of factors that could prevent a person from buying the game. i.e. Price, availability, embarrasment, etc etc

But actually being arrogant enough to call them moralfags for that reasonable request is simply out of line and disrespectful. Especially because it's aimed at the very people who worked hard to let you be able to play that very game you are enjoying right now.

Did you read my post? O.o

After doing a bit of quick googling I can't find anywhere that actually sells the game aside from auctions which goes completely against the original purpose of buying a game, which is to give money to the creators. It's a doujin, a home made game, they shouldn't be printing any more copies, and I did not see them selling the game via download. I can't believe any doujin stores still holding any copies, and to buy it from them would require a physical visit to Japan, and hours of searching for an ultra rare game, and I'm sure that the auctions come from the smart shop keepers themselves that won't be selling such a game at the original price >.<

That's why I felt it was pretentious. They asked for a nearly impossible thing, and put everyone up to that standard.

You can put it through some translating thing, but there you go. They stopped printing copies. I mean, what did you expect from a doujin soft? That completely breaks the whole definition of a doujin soft if they mass produced them >.<

I can't get mad at you after all we've talked, but I'm a bit frusturated X.X
