Unofficial translations are great (sarcasm) for people who own consoles where modifying the game files is not allowed or for people who don't know how to obtain those translations in the first place, and for that, community sourced translations are now in competition with each other. You speak about art in the digital age but these are also these considerations as well. The official stamp means that the translations are shipped to everyone and meet a baseline level of professionalism.

Ultimately it's his decision to maintain UT/DR as his auteur works but this attitude towards internationalization is still disappointing.
