Looks like XSEED made 100% the correct choice in not hiring you. Why?
1) They didn't need a coder, they needed a translation.
2) It was Deuce's actual translation, not yours.
3) Deuce correctly painted you as a crazy, this thread alone proves that.
Deuce could have made a translation without you. All that was needed was a way to insert the script into the game. Why would XSEED need that when they have the source or the patchwork was going to be done by Falcom themselves?
This wasn't about hiring, this was about hijacking pre-existing, ready-to-go fan translations on the cheap, to save time and money, because MY TIME (or work hours) plus Jeff's time (or work hours), left us with translated results that could be exported to them, RATHER than using a professional translation service starting from scratch, taking longer, having to wait longer for the editing phase, and paying pros who'll tell YOU what you'll pay, not XSEED telling us or just Jeff, here's a few bucks for your troubles, thanks for being a great fan!! They got a sweetheart deal because of BOTH OF US, and our paperless partnership/organization, just that, you know, they only paid/credited him, pretended I didn't exist AKA cheated me!
So that's right, they wanted Ys translations, and I produced several with him! I recruited him, I commissioned him into it starting with Ys I, II, IV, and Ys VI. Because of scheduling, I wanted to wait on Felghana, and with Ys Origin, I almost quit, but he pestered and begged me into immediate action on those 2, offered to pay me on Ys Origin, but we settled on a 25/75% royalty split there if I made it payware (
though after ~2 years, he exported the output after finishing to Tom's programmer in a double cross before Tom got hired by XSEED) and so that's how those were produced, sitting on his computer, and mine after a copy of my translation app would get sent back!!
See if your bigot brain can follow:
My step 1 work hours + his step 2 work hours, led to the production of translated results. Sometimes, extracting the Japanese text took 6 months, sometimes 2 weeks. Both cases, those are REAL IT work hours, MY time spent on this earth, doing the necessary work to achieve a translated result!
Your
asinine, criminal thought pattern that you get to cheat people if you conveniently decide later that you could've hypothetically done the same work hours, is self-serving, unjust, and is a warning sign for people
NEVER to work with you on any kind of project!
That's right, the world according to ki_atsushi, he gets to cheat/remove people from credits that actually did the needed work hours if he thinks somebody else could've done those same work hours! GOSH GOLLY, IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE!!!
Should your boss pay and credit some stranger for the work hours that YOU did, because the stranger could've done the same job but didn't, just for the hell of it cause he hates you ??? This is what happens when you parrot the talking points of other trolls when you don't realize the FULL implications they have if applied to all situations, instead of arbitrarily/selectively JUST TO ME...
You're a moron to float this disingenuous talking point. You credit people who actually did the work hours for the production of what you wanted that was of value, not rewrite history and pretend DeuceBag did it all so he could take ALL of the credit, as happened!
Who is the crazy guy now saying crazy things ? I could erase all the programmers in my credits if I deem that I could've done the same work hours on a whim ? That's fair ? That's just ?? That's morally/ethically OK ?
If you're gonna go snapperhead on me, better bring the facts and logic, brah, not the bullshit!
Never heard anybody say such things, just in my case... Interesting the hate that you must have for me... FYI, I did NOTHING to you, last I checked!
Again, you don't get to pretend that the other person/partner didn't exist just because you hated him, and the company hated him as was the case with Tom which you conveniently avoided addressing!
The principle: When you make it a business, you're supposed to talk business with EVERYONE who you took or used free work hours from! All work hours in the past done for free are BILLABLE in the present when you make it a business and attempt to profit from it commercially!!
What don't you understand about that ?
Also, when he used my translation software one last time to export the English text, that was using it for commercial purposes without a license, why ? Because I never licensed it to him orally or in written form, he broke the letter of the law there, technically, but didn't give a rat's ass!
And NO, he does not become the master 100% owner of the English text off my "slave" work hours! Every string he translated was a right of translation infringement, because the story belonged to Falcom, NOT HIM! You don't gain a copyright claim on faithful translations without permission, otherwise that defeats the purposes of copyright law which shows how much of a moron you are to say otherwise!
Jeff became the "100% master owner" of "poop" jokes Working Designs style, at best, that is, when his writing had nothing to do with the Japanese text and was a complete liberty-taking! No poop jokes last I checked!
Yep, just another know-it-all troll who knows so much that isn't so! Well played, chief! Show us just how much more dumb you really are! Please!
Seriously move on with your fucking life, if there's anything left.
Seriously, STFU! I just want my money back! Apology was owed long ago, but the monster was way too far gone for that years ago given his evasiveness and as is evident from his post!
Whether I make negative or positive posts about him, or Tom, or XSEED is my prerogative and doesn't take 1000 work hours or 1000 days as he'd have you believe, the pathologically generalizing lying liar that he is.
I've written up to 2 dozen or so negative posts about him in the last 3 years at best, in the middle of a thousand typical gaming forum posts in my online time. I never owed him or anyone my permanent silence or whatever else in how you think things are "supposed to work" after something like this happens.
I'm angry as hell, and am not gonna take it anymore, that's not crazy. I've explained myself very clearly over the years. You simply hate the victim in this case, and it doesn't matter what I say here on out.
Best thing a criminal like him can do is try to play the victim by crying about 1 phone call, 2 voicemails because I exceeded the minutes on the first one, and wanted to finish, and pretend it was 1000 phonecalls and 1000 voicemails with his generalizing, or cry about a few dozen spam posts on his Youtube, Twitter, Gmail - which I just did till I got bored. Cry me a river, as he would say!! That's right Jeffery, cry me a river, move on move on move on, you'll get over it, it was ~2 months ago... You're an expert on "getting over it" given your lectures, right ole pal ?
