How dare a free translation for a VN I'm going to pirate isn't coming sooner than I wanted. No sympathy!!!

The reason I don't have sympathy isn't because "WAH, I WANT THING", but because I've repeatedly asked Herkz over the years in the Mahoyo comments and gotten "The editor doesn't want to give up the project, but also isn't doing anything with the project because *shrug*, so the entire script will stay locked on a hard drive for no reason" as a response for two years straight. I would have loved to edit it and get something released. Even if not the whole game translated (graphics and all), but just a rough script. Sadly, it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. And this is besides the fact that they still claim to have a full script when there was big scandal a few years back that they actually lost the entire script or something to that effect, which Commiesubs denied. Well, it's been quite a while since, and with nothing to show for it, they are either purposely forcing the project into hiatus so no one will be able to finish it or they just plain don't have anything to show for all these years due to possibly losing their work but are too proud to admit it. Forgive me for not showing the utmost respect to them even when I've wanted to try and help.

I could be an asshole about this and be snippy with you, but the fact is it's I'm too sad. Sad that things keep turning out this way for the one VN that I've actually been interested in for the past three years. But I suppose I should just shut up and know my place as a good-for-nothing pirate. :|

I'd like to not make this into a bitching thread, so I leave it at that. Good luck, izzeybee.

The stuff Mcjon has translated are avaible as a partial patch, so it's not like he's "keeping it to himself".

While true, I'd wager there's something drafted for the fabled Chapter 8, or am I mistaken? It's been like 2 years since Ch. 7 was released, so I figured there would be something at least.

EDIT: I should note I'm not speaking in animosity towards Mcjon, I just honestly figured they would have something done for Ch. 8 that's been unreleased within the span of 2 years. Commiesubs, however, doesn't get any sympathy.

I've been waiting for Mahoyo for like 3 years. If it comes to it, I'll jump onto translating Mahoyo only as a script using rudimentary Japanese knowledge and online dictionaries just so I can get the lore finally; then just release what I've got as a draft so someone else can handle the rest if they want.

I really don't understand why people like Mcjon or Herkz from Commiesubs don't just release the script so we have a basis for others to start from if they want to do a full game translation. It's not like they're gaining anything by keeping the draft to themselves.
