Recently, copies of ROBF started getting passed around on 8chan, causing the creator to go on a fruitless DMCA takedown spree. Attitudes towards software and the internet being very different between Japan and the West (for various reasons) this lead to misunderstanding, and hostility.

After we reached out and explained the benefits of treating foreign users as potential customers instead of pirates, he agreed to take steps to make his work easier to access for overseas fans. If the positive steps made by Asgar Kishidan are met with increased sales, it would set a positive precedent that would encourage more Doujin artists to open up to their overseas fandoms. Also, if you enjoyed the game, wouldn’t you rather he felt motivated to make more, and to cater more towards you as an audience?

The choice, of course, is yours to make.
