Why are there so many retro strategy guides that are untranslated?

Why are there so many retro strategy guides that are untranslated? A lot of them contain developer interviews, I wish there was more interest in them

Because it's a lot of work for something that's fairly niche.

If you donate money you can probably get shmuplations to do a commission or something.

Just another reason to learn Japanese.

Foreign material wasn't valued like today. And some of those works are too niche and/or require a good understanding if the japanese language that weebs obsessed with anime will never have.

I am interested in the above guide. Alas i has no money :(

weebs who speak jap should do kickstarters for this instead of spending their neetbux to shitpost on 4chan

Do you have an idea how much it costs to license a strategy guide?
Or how much money people would be willing to spend on them?
>>
>>4176597
There's not even an raw pdf of it
>>
>>4177328
Any raw cbz or similar?
pdf isn't really that great for such things.
>>
>>4176527
isnt there a cheat to race against an AM3 driver? could steal some techniques from that.
>>
>>4176626
Would there be licensing involved? Maybe for a scanlation, but just a text file of a translated interview is fair use, is it not?
>>
>>4176527
Do you have a scan? Shouldn't be too hard to OCR with text2capture.
>>
>>4177529
Fair use only applies to Americans and only to limited uses.
What would be the point to do a Kickstarter to translate a single interview?
>>
>>4176527
Because there's no interest in them

>>4176621
>weebs who speak jap should do kickstarters to rip off weebs who can't
If there was any chance of the weebs who can't having any money to take I'd do it.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
