Why is every app a 'service' now? Why does Word now want me paying $100/year to use it? What happened to buying software that lasts forever?
This capitalist hellscape we're living in where the Line Has To Go Up Every Year is killing us.

I am absolutely outraged.
I was the Localization Coordinator on the project up until I left SEGA, constantly in connection with the FIGS teams.
I told the team who took over for me to credit the FIGS team. They worked incredibly hard to localize TWO GAMES.
Unbelievable. twitter.com/Tamslator/stat…

While I'm being loud about credits, y'know what would be great?
Crediting the translator / subtitler / localization team at the end of every episode on @Crunchyroll.
HIDIVE does it. No reason CR can't.

Update with screenshots.
@KeywordsStudios and @SEGA have only credited their producer and project managers -- NONE of the translators who actually wrote the millions of words FIGS players will be reading are credited.
For. Shame. twitter.com/katrinaltrnsl8…
