@KMei297 Ngk heran. Mereka tumbuh dewasa dengan slogan "Trust-based society", tapi kalo pelanggan domestiknya aja nggak bisa dipercayai, bakal trust issue nggak sih? Mungkin mereka emang udh proyeksi data tapi akhirnya nggak bisa BEP. Ya nggak tau lah, cuman spekulasi aja.
Gw spekulasi perusahaan jepang ngk mau buka akses international karena takut rugi banyak sm bajakan domestik. Di negara sendiri yg aksesnya mudah dibajak, apalg kalau target pasarnya international? Perusahaan yg buka jalur akses ya akhirnya dari luar juga kyk muse asia contohnya.
I've seen a lot of posts like this lately and I honestly don't get it. Why are overseas buyers expected to be the proactive ones, instead of the side that wants the money?
Without an official release, many fans just pirate it, so their demand is already met. The one losing out is the seller, missing sales because there's no distribution channel. Anything extra fans do is goodwill, and goodwill doesn't count for much in economics.
Is this just how Japanese companies operate, or is something getting lost in translation?
@tripper688@JoyMaximillian@bansi3049_sakil This is so true! They sabotage their own artist and company, blaming it on the "filthy gaijins". Their issue with us isn't the piracy part, it's because we're honest about pirating unlike them, pirating behind their creator's back.
@PkRhz@KMei297 F2P has always been more profitable in the long term. The issue is that you need much more manpower to dish out content in a periodical basis to attract player attention. More manpower means more capital. Japanese companies seems to lose profit due to domestic piracy.

@KMei297 It's because in Japan, piracy ran rampant and the companies took huge amount of lost. They don't consider going overseas because their own domestic audience steal their content even though they have easy access to their products. Those netouyo's are hypocrites.
@genericnam94703@KMei297 They're a good example for "accessibility solves piracy" And "if you don't take matters into your own hands, they'll use you for their own agendas'. But hey, the netouyo's loves to bootlick America.
@TheUltraGuy101 They never know because they never went out of Japan. I grew up from my dad pirating movies like Kung fu Panda, HTTYD, Rapunzel, Frozen and etc before finally plunged into Anime through Animax. You only see Japanese being moralist about pirates yet they do the same with porn.
@yaku_O_0924@EndlessWrap With huge variety of e-books that could be sold as a product, there's the need of a proper adaptation of monetization that would be eye-catching to readers while maintaing profit. Subscription system seems to fit the best but unless the platform garner interest, it's difficult.
@yaku_O_0924@EndlessWrap That's going to be hard. This is my subjective opinion however, convincing investors to invest for similar platform for e-books won't be as easy as it is for games. Piracy for e-books is much more dominant compared to games. The profit margin is also lower compared to games.
@ricewavee@onepercentdsgn Those netouyo's are rage baiters. They don't truly advocate for the end of piracy, they just want to moral grandstand. Japan is the No. 1 pirates in the world after all. They're fine with piracy as long as you stay quiet about doing it.
after @SistersInDanger got exposed, i decided i’m done praising modern feminists. most of y’all are mentally unstable, antisocial, can’t take criticism, n always wanna be right even when u’re wrong. y’all ain’t feminists, u’re feminazis. y’all are ruining real feminism.
