NO Italian Translation ? Is this a Joke?

[Teo]

Are you serious ? No Italian official translation for release date ?
No Italian translation, no Italian money, sounds simple to me.

PS Ma stiamo scherzando ? Polacchi ? Meno persone rispetto all'Italia. Francesi e Tedeschi ? Per il numero di persone siamo li. E noi Italiani siamo diventati la lingua del terzo mondo in Europa ? Spero che nessuno si sogni di prendere il gioco fino al rilascio di una traduzione.

Devono capire che i nostri soldi, soldi Italiani, non sono soldi di serie B. Posso capire l'assenza di una traduzione per un FPS ma per questa tipologia di giochi, no.

io ho comprato il gioco 3 anni fa sperando anche in una traduzione che non è mai arrivata

where is the ukraine transalation post?

This game is not developed or backed by Blizzard or TenCent. It is an all-remote indie game development studio and this is game number one. Translation may not be a huge investment but it is an investment nonetheless, especially Italian where the population of native speakers is probably around 60 million people total and not in many other countries as a dominant language. Japanese has more than 100 million and probably a higher demographic of video game players so that would probably be a higher priority than Italian.

Welcome to being marginalized where the loss of your money is a current sacrifice they are willing to take. You want an indie game to have Italian translations then perhaps you should offer a way to help. Offer your services, see if they are looking to hire a translator, or donate some resources to getting it done.

Way to miss the message, bro. From the forum post:

"we have accepted a low-equity investment from Tencent Games"

What I am trying to emphasize is this is an endie game and is not like Riot (which is now owned entirely by Tencent). Perhaps you should stop focusing on the minutia and more on the context.

Is "low-equity investment" a industry term? I cant seem to find any standard definition. English is hard. judd also said "partnership".

Everyone is going to take their own meaning on the situation and if you focus on the minutia you can miss the forest for the trees. No we are not selling power there will be no pay to win. Diablo Immortal and Tarisland come to mind just off the top of my head. Calm down this is just an example of how words matter, not an indictment of the LE shop.

Does this mean I believe Tencent is standing over the shoulders of EHG directing everything? of course not, do I believe it makes EHG no longer independent? Absolutely. Would I think differently if you swapped Tencent for any other company? yes.

My understanding of western investment is you have a legal obligation to the shareholders.

Sure, its a little poor indie game developed at a poor guy's garage... *sigh*
You are just manipulating words at this point. So investment does not mean backing in your definiton?
It is not low budget and it certainly is not "endie", its just a company's first game.
It is "backed" by Tencent at this point.
But hey, if you sincerely think they are a small cute indie company, go buy some MTX and support them. Just stop lying blatantly.

Dude thinks Tecent is putting GTA 6 money into an indie game from an indie company

Yes, italian money is class B money. Nobody gives a ♥♥♥♥ about Italy in developing a game if its not a corporate big company. Why would they? A localization costs money and surely, most italians can speak english for the benefit the company would gain translating this game into italian. Oh and btw, just figuring out how many in europe speak german and how many in europe speak italian - its quite normal :) The market for Video games in Germany is what? 5x? 10x?

"Git good" and learn some English. We already saw that you have tried to make a post using that language. Continue, young padawan.

They hired a team that seemed to just use google translate. Chinese was horrible. Other languages very weird and cringe. I guess they could've just put in the text on goolge translate for italian, too. Wouldn't have been too much more effort, I guess.
