Why won't publishers kickstart localizations?

Maybe because kickstarter is for people who don't have money? Why should I donate to a billion dollar corporation because they're too damn scared to take some risks?

Cause we wont be getting those japanese games that we want any other way? And technically, we are getting something back so its not 100% a donation

Also, I would rather pay for successful Japanese games rather than unproven new games in terms of risk vs safe bases
