Square Enix considering crowdfunding for localizing niche titles

Recommended Posts

From a business standpoint, I get it; it's a way to make sure they get money for their product, with no downside.

But it kinda feels like charging the rest of the world a "not-being-Japanese tax".

 

You can look at it that way but you also say the sales for these titles are unlikely to match what they need to justify the cost of localizing and it also helps them not cut corners or leave out markets.

So they need developer's and translators then?

 

No, this is them getting fans to help pay for localizations of titles that are unlikely to do well outside of Japan.

 

 

So what is crowdfunding and why does this sound like a good idea? What does it do for western releases or anything related to that?

 

Crowdfunding is where fans help fund something. It allows more western releases.

 

 

Ouch, shot right through the heart on that one.

 

Well, I can't think of anything else other than that TWEWY port onto smartphones.

 

Already got TWEWY: Solo Remix. There is a stack load.
