Probably a price hike then, I remember it being cheaper before as well. Budget air is just the cheaper option on buyee (Register Small Package(SAL) ). takes an extra week, possibly more because it's lower priority or they lost a package. RM is the code they put in the tracking number at the front. Could be that they pushed the costs down, not too different from a supermarket turning a loss on certain items to get more people in the store. I assume they make their money from service fees anyways.

It's trade I'm willing to make, most games I'd try for the gameplay probably aren't going to have amazing stories. They'd lose some charm, but that's the only option I'd have to play them anytime soon. I'd just use a browser for that then, the app can do a live read (generally to be used for street signs I guess) or take a picture and OCR it. It works decently, but ofcourse it'll miss some characters and it'll still have to google TL it afterwards. The problem is that most people who learn Japanese are capable of reading Japanese (to some extent), this removes any reason for them to translate it. Very few people actually use their knowledge to translate for free and translating a script is one thing, inserting it back is another and I assume there's not that many people well versed in JP PC software hacking. There'd have to be a group (or a multi-talent) willing to spend huge amounts of time without reimbursement. Patreon might be an option, but that method of payment promotes slow work. If we're lucky we get people who translate their favourite games or some lost big franchise titles. It's very unlikely people will translate games that they don't care for. tldr: I'd hope for more fan translations, but I'm not expecting many for JP PCs.
