Cost of subs not saved vs cost of a translator?

[Gurgeh]

I wonder how many subs they might have failed to keep today because of a rushed unofficial translation and misrepresentation again of the unofficial translation.

This is to Yoshi-P the business man...

How much does it cost to hire a translator for half a day?
Seriously?
Throw yourself a bone here. Its painful.
90,000 JYen? $600 . If you want them to have tea and caikee before and after?

Shit, if I was yoshi I'd consider paying out of my own pocket just to avoid any of this shit I can, and enjoy my glass of red the end of the day that little more.

(points from me for doing the live letter, but shyeet, you can't do this again with putting out savage before you've managed topbut normal out.)

(Maybe this is 4D chess from yoshi. He gave high end a chance to play nicely and all they did was bitch about snipers. So now he has a reason to go, my hands are tied you saw the uproar. No more bonus savage experiments.
You don't go from 1.0 to 2.0 if you not really good with people.)

Nah, he's quit the game.

To be honest, at this precise point in time, I don't actually care LOL... In a way, it's actually doing me a service..

Like, the PLLs are just so uninteresting and predictable these days, that I more often than not just tune in for the trailer and then read the translation in the evening.

"The simple answer on why we didn't have a normal and savage version translator is cost, I know this doesn't "matter" for a customer".

Even the fact that they could have questions in English in their slides, but couldn't even do a summary of the answer on the slide in English is certainly a choice.

Do american game companies have translators for their presentations?

It felt really bizzare to me because Foxclon is literally *right there*; he knows how to translate into English. He's done that before, like when they had to address the blacklist system thing. It was an important enough topic. The second half of the LL wasn't even that long, would not have been that much of a time waste.
Bad when several different fan translations took Yoshi P saying "the reason we didn't have this is cost (meaning SE keeps taking their resources)" as several different things.

the amount of ragebait this guy posts is crazy. anyway i know JP and i feel like the entitlement is kinda crazy? just wait for the polished translation bro, initial translations being rushed is. genuinely normal. i know that people forgot the age before crunchyroll, but absolutely mangled subs were the norm; you either figured it out with your existing language skills or waited for a polished TL.

I think part of it might be time. When they do live translations for things like LL during Fan Fest, those presentations are a lot longer.

No. But that's because nearly everyone speaks American. Even the English now speak American. I'm not saying every live letter. I just mean one like this where it's really useful.
