I agree with what you're saying, but I can't understand how they would assume that because of one or two bad apples, the whole tree is rotten.I mean, to be fair, most cases of non-Japanese players playing Japanese games are technically piracy even if the reason is because there's no non-piracy way to play it outside Japan. I can get where the Japanese developers are coming from with that, though they are lumping those who would pay if they could in with those who would not pay no matter what, which isn't totally fair.
Also, keep in mind that having it exclusively set to Japan does more harm than good. By having more awareness/audience, the product/game is sure to sell more, even if people are getting the "discounted version".
Plus it's hard to just go throwing around money without even trying out a game. There are those who can support, and those that can't, like you said. But it's hard to buy the cow if you've never even tried the milk, or however that saying goes.
I guess in JSK's case, he has demos available on the DLsite. Now if he'd just allow the English ports/translations/etc and feedback, that'd be great.
