@UncleNickHub@Pirat_Nation I own nearly everything physically on my ps5 literally import games that are digital only here I have multiple south east Asia games and a Korean yakuza the man who erased his name because there’s no physical in the west luckily the second game which is a pirate one had one
@rasenkan@LazyClipper Not stealing if they’re not selling it anymore well, I’m gonna go download some more psp games to my psp since their shop shut down and physical copies are scarce and this is the only option we got as a “barbarian”
@luckynosu@LazyClipper Let’s see for an example Yokai watch they did not promote or let us know that the third one came out in the west, and that was the last one we got. Because if it wasn’t promoted well, there limited so current copies go for about 800 USD which is currently 128,244.80 ¥
@marunojiroukei@LazyClipper This is exactly what was trying to say a lot of merch in our country does not exist like for me I want certain things to buy I just can’t get them because it cost a lot to order from Japan with the base price plus the shipping price nearly the same price as the base price
@harimasa0616@FlippeRFlappeR6@gomigomisute not the argument were trying to say how will become popular even added in the west for distribution if it doesn’t get spread around by word of mouth if it never could because for us word-of-mouth is how we know because japan comp don’t promote stuff here and they flop here
@gomigomisute@LazyClipper In our country exposure is the great way of actually getting around. 30 years ago multiple popular series in the west were actually spread and became popular through pirate media pirate VHS is with fan subbed even translated by fans on these manga websites
@gomigomisute@LazyClipper It took until the PS4 generation actually get stuff in English from you guys the PS4 was one of the first region free PlayStation systems the 3DS region locked, everything pre-PS4 with region lock and PlayStation we only do it because there’s a service issue
@680mm@LazyClipper “Hate paying Asians money” buddy I would love to but I don’t want to pay my rent payment for a game out of print or double the amount due to shipping from Japan to here
@Syouyu2_1031@LazyClipper It is here in the west, but we have leeway due to parody law or the companies don’t care enough to go after us, but they’ve been trying to do it recently like our Supreme Court is currently hearing about it. They’re supposed to make a decision soon likely they will favor us
@TheThing89@LazyClipper They don’t sell it here in the west that’s the problem I literally have to get fan translations for games pre switch because they never sold it here and in English for example pre SRW V since it was the first one in English and 30 for western release + terrible localization
