there is a long history of Japanese artists shutting the gently caress down forever the second they get wind of westerners being into their stuff so yeah, don't.

Is there a document one could read on this phenomenon? Sounds weird as hell

not that I know of, I just have heard of it happening over the years. i'm failing to recall specific examples right now but i can vaguely recall there were entire websites where artists would post and they would close up and move to a new URL every time english comments started being commonplace and such.

maybe my brain is poo poo and i'm talking out my rear end on this one but i could swear i've seen it happen. there's been like minor twitter fights about it for sure.

edit: yeah if anyone has hard info on this phenomenon i'd like to see it too because i FEEL like i remember it happening but that's useless without specifics.

In Japan politicians have literal vans that drive around with loudspeakers trying to get you to pay attention to them, so I've heard. Like all those lovely calls you get if you still have a landline, but right outside your house at high volumes!

Sorry for the delay, I was thinking this same thing and thinking I mistranslated because it seems really weird to have your employees review your own games, but the rest of the panels seem to agree that's what's happening, so I don't know. Someone else can take a look, maybe I made a mistake.
