That's like whole active community of NM, as most of people are dirty leeches coming to download ero-stuff.
Second of all, I hate dubs. Lots of people hate them as well, because most of companies screw original texts badly (so far I have seen only Mononoke Hime and Golden Boy dubbed well). I still watch stuff with dubs, athough very rarely.
Third of all, I hate licences. I live in a country where its possible to find like 10% of what's available in USA. One anime DVD costs about 1/10 of the normal salary, so you have to be quite rich to buy them. Hell, I pay for my internet monthly as much as I'd pay for one DVD. I wouldn't want to look in someone's eyes and say "Hey, I wanted to help one person, I didn't think someone would have to sell their kidneys to watch anime". If there were free AND paid (for good quality) choices, I wouldn't mind, but companies always forbid the sharing of free subbed anime and only let people to get stuff with crap dubs, instead of making their product better.
About the games - I'd be for translation of Japanese games and making games for not-that-famous anime shows. Sadly, game makers KNOW what people (and I) want. Its their job to know what people would buy. If anime game gets 30th place in the wishlists, it probably won't get translated no matter how much people would beg. Same with making not-that-popular games. You can always learn the language and translate them yourself, or ask other kind people to do it, but that's all you can do.
Life sucks. Better get used to it till you get burnt.

^.^() Check and mate. Sorry if it seemed to be a bit of confusion rolled in what-in-sam-hill. I was a bit peeved from a few posts on another site that constantly spoke about the popular things that are out now.
True, subs are better and make more sense in most cases. However, when done right, a dub can be as good, even better, than the original audio. I was simply PO'd by the fact that companies tend to have that "We know what's best for you" kind of outlook on the anime distribution business. I simply feel that most people now these days will mostly look for things that blow up, have little to no plot, to make up plot as they go, but not too much that it detracts form the action on the screen. It's like they look solely for series that would fit someone who's attention span is shorter than the time it takes to blink.
I'm a fan of lesser know shows, like "If I see you in My dreams" and "I My Me, Strawberry Eggs." They may now have the same blowing up and high speed action as other shows do these days, but they're just as good. I apologize in advance if I come off as simply whining or as a nuisance. Just needed to make my point. *gets off soap box* Thank you *bows, and leaves stage right*~ Dred Lily ^w^V
