The drama was horrible.
It's not like people didn't come up with their own "solutions" to the "problem". It's not the end of the world, it's not the first time this kind of thing happened. Riivolution for example, but that was from 2010, when people didn't pretend online witch hunts were noble and defensible acts to right the world's wrongs. It's inevitable the internet will come out with a way to undo this limitation, and everyone will get what they want (it already is). Everyone know this and it's obvious this is not what all of this is about)
Harassment is not okay and pretending it's done out of care for the project is laughably dishonest. I'm willing to bet many envious lazy bums who can't stand more achieving people jumped at this opportunity to make them come down "to their place", or the many dissatisfied with early translation choices and wanting to force people's hands on the matter.
I hope the team will stay strong until the remaining episodes rather than get swallowed in this destructive spiral of negativity.
It's incredibly transparent how so many of these posters have an axe to grind with the project's existence (from "buying retail carts don't help series future in US, I'd rather Capcom not see it profitable to release only in Japan" then in the same breath not helping themselves from giving out their true colors "If it's not an official translation in the style of Capcom USA I'd rather this project not exist at all, the project's existence, er excuse me, the retail cart requirement IS what's preventing US releases")
While I personally find the rationale behind the retail only policy pointless given it's the internet and there will be always a way, I wouldn't blame the team much for how things turned out. It would have turned out like this either way, for any other reason, from the Dual Destinies font requirement, to any other tiny typo in the patch, or Dahlia v.0.9.0 isn't speaking Victorian Welsh and that's a missed opportunity.
