So? Do you want him to exploit more underpaid localization teams to increase his revenue instead? Fan patches are free. They only work with specific versions of games, and the easiest way to do that is by pirating them.

He's giving the Latam community a free pass on stealing his shit, because he doesn't want to do more work, or underpay someone else to do it for him.

Bu bu bu, Poor Little Petit Bourgeoisie Tobias Fox is forced to exploit and underpaid a localization team if he ever wants to translate his game into another language and share his work with his fanbase from other countries, just like he exploited and underpaid the japanese translation team apparently.

Just say you dont care

I don't care that your treats aren't presented to you the way you want them.

He's contracting people (exploitation), using AI (set the world on fire for slop, neat), putting in personal work (he doesn't owe you anything), or giving you a free pass to transform his work for free (also exploitation, I guess?). There's no win condition for him here.

We're never going to see eye to eye on this, so let's agree to disengage and call it a day.

Why would he need to underpay them? He's got no shortage of money, does he?

Over 5 million undertale sales and 3 million on deltarune btw, still need to underpay a localization team
