    Light needs many requests to translate Silverio Franchise

    And that one turned out pretty bad in the end. Lots of promises that were made for Dies irae back then weren't delivered, and lots of people considered it a mess, complaining about how it was handled. Mind you, this was at the time light was still run by the original management. This new management seems even less competent, and honestly, I'd feel very reluctant to back a new Kickstarter, should one come. I'd gladly buy a finished product that has a proper localization, but I wouldn't throw my money at another Kickstarter potentially run by someone who can't handle the project.

    Also, this thing with petitions is sorta funny to me. Like, what's stopping pirates from also signing it up? Heck, what's stopping us to sign it multiple times under different names, LOL? I don't see how this would be a sure way to prove there's demand for it 🤣

    Wich promises are you talking abaout? i was following DI kickstarter on that moment and got no trouble with the translation at all. You mean Pantheon?

    I wonder how many of the people who sign this petition actually would end up paying for the VN. Considering how widespread piracy seem to be in the VN community I wonder how many of the votes are just people who want it translated to then pirate it versus those that plan to actually buy it. I just hope it doesn't end up where they localize it due to the petition and it sells really bad and that ends up with the japanese visual novel companies in general having more disstrust towards the english readerbase.

    Lets think that Light could start a crownfounding to finance the translation like they did with Dies Irae on Steam

    I hardly believe a petition by some rando would make a difference, LOL

    Light titles are expensive to localize, and from the looks of things, whoever's in charge of Light would rather self-localize than give it to someone else to do it for them. That is, assuming they even consider there's a high enough demand for Silverio and their other titles. And... quite frankly, I'm always suspicious of self-localization attempts. I know Dies irae was technically self-localized too (I think?), but that one at least had notable TLers like Steiner and GundamAce working on it. Who's to say that they'd hire people like them to work on it, assuming they even decide to go through with the localization? Honestly, I'd rather they let someone else localize it for them than risk a shitty localization for a great series like Silverio. I don't have much faith in whoever's in charge of light now.

    We are taking the literal words of Light Staff "if there are many requests". Lets make make them getting attention.
