My first srd post.
The post in question. https://old.reddit.com/r/Falcom/comments/x8dw94/this_needs_to_stop/
The drama surrounds the entire subreddit and not just one specific post.
Here’s the context
The video game publisher NISA sent a cease and desist on a fan translation called Zero Field on an unreleased game. The fan base was extemely upset and threatened to boycott the publisher, and review bomb their next game Trails from Zero which will release September 27.

There were also reports of 4 Chan and Twitter threatening to attack NISA. They also organized an attack on their scheduled stream on September 7 and even posted personal information on the employees and there were also reports of death threats sent to them. There were several threads posted in that sub with evidence but they ended up removed by the mods. I’ll locate deleted threads in the archives.
If you look at the stickied post in that thread, you will see the reason why this thread was removed because at that point 4chan was already organizing an attack, according to said post.

Due to restrictions and moderation on their twitch stream, their raid was for the most part unsuccessful. Their twitch raid required accounts to have a phone verification, and a following of 30 minutes. Their stream autofilters words like hajimari, Kuro and reverie, and also Zero Field, the name of the fan translation group. Any one who says any of the filtered words would find their chat in the spam filter and instantly banned from the stream.
However, their YouTube stream remains unmoderated. There were reports from posters and the original post below saying that users were doxxing employees on stream and threatening to doxx users who buy the game.
This led to one user making a thread calling for the community to stop the doxxing and death threats of the employees. The thread in question is here.

NISA is taking 3-4 YEARS to put out translations of these games, which is completely insane. Think about how limited the sales are going to be on an already niche RPG series when you take that long. One of the games they can't seem to get released in a decent timeframe (supposedly coming next fall) was primarily sold on the PS4 in Japan. Nobody's going to buy a fricking PS4 game at the end of 2023.
Then when nobody buys this shit over here because it's old as frick, they'll just stop bothering to translate them at all and claim that the US doesn't want the games. What a mess.

That's because many Japanese artists and developers don't want their work to be seen by filthy gaijin eyes.

If they do original translations it would be 100% legal. They should have just told them to frick off.
