Yeah, just axe that. He previously raised a stink about how They Just Didn't Care didn't apply to that same example.

Note to mods: Their edits were made before their suspension and its subsequent release for basically doing the same elsewhere, so unless they try to de-revert, another suspension shouldn't be necessary.

Could someone else axe the example? Since I was the one that changed their entry originally, I don't want to be involved in an edit war.

EDIT: Looks like it's been changed. Thanks!

The Rogue Penguin beat me to it.

For the record, they're probably at least partially right, but still it's not something that should go on the page.

Looks like TheNohrianDarkKnight edited it to be this:

"According to Bill Trinen of NoA, this game does not have a dub in order to match the Japanese feel of the game. Some however, believe that it was actually due to the game's not so successful run in Japan."

Now he's just edit warring.

Oh yeah, this.

The gap between the JP and NA releases was only 7 months, so I think it's possible that the decision to not dub the game was made before the JP version was even released and thus not influenced by the sales in Japan. (I'm making an assumption that the localization process started before the game hit the streets in Japan.)

However, I'll play Devil's Advocate a bit and say that the game's pretty niche, so Treehouse not dubbing it to keep costs down in anticipation of the game bombing in America isn't totally out of the question. Regardless, that part is still speculation at best and needs to go.

Would it be okay if I revert their edit, or should I leave it alone?

Revert away. You're just fixing vandalism.

I like how my original response specifically said that as long as he doesn't try to de-revert he shouldn't be suspended.

... and then he went and de-reverted. Huzzah.

I'm sorry. I just felt from different peoples comments that they claimed that it was mostly the game's not so successful run that was the cause for no dub.

Larkmarn Since: Nov, 2010

See, there's a few problems with that. One, we don't deal in speculation on non-Wild Mass Guessing pages. That's why it got pulled in the first place.

But far more problematic is the fact that, after you were told to knock it off, you went and edit-warred to readd it. That's bad.

I hope you take my advice to heart, no one wants to see you banned.
