Annoying, but I can see where SE is coming from. The translation would probably just cannibalize on actual game sales

The only problem is that the translation pacth has been out since last month.  the damage has been done its out on the internet forever.

^This. It's pointless now. Fans shouldn't have been the first to release a translation to begin with. Their own fault

No, it is not this. If you believe that then you also believe that anybody should be able take your car keys because your not using it and they feel they gave a legitimate reason that justifies it.

Not the same. If you take my car keys, I cant drive my car anymore. If you release a translation for my work, I can still release mine. They are not even necessarily on competing platforms. You can't blame fans for doing this  when people have been asking for years to deaf ears from the company. This is not the first game to get a translation. Valkyria Chronicles 3 did as well for the same reasons.

The right way would have been to have announced a translation way earlier. That way, no one would have even taken on the project to begin with. It was born from desperation of customers not a desire to "steal" from S-E as you seem to be implying. It's not like these people sold the translation for money.  S-E pretended not to care about all the people clamoring for a translation. Now, all of a sudden, they care.
