Yeah, not all devs are able to embrace piracy and capitalize on it yet.however that's a way of thinking that would be really difficult for any japanese dev to follow, dont get me wrong, Megrim is a great guy and isn't hostile towards anyone, when someone was stupid enough to post a link to the pirated game in his own discord all he said was to keep those things secret, but still it wont be easy to try and tell them it's going to be a good thing for them, especially when they worked so hard on their game they get hospitalized like he did
one big problem for a lot of japanese people is limited exposer to other cultures, there are barely any english speakers that actually try to interact with megrim in a positive way, and unfortunately a lot of ones that do are dumbass's, so it isn't obvious to him that people actually care about him, his game and are willing to support him
Piracy will always be a controversial area, so try to always stay low mateys.
Last time I lurked the discord, around mid-September I think, someone even posted the data files of this very translation and claimed it as theirs, basically broadcasting about and distributing an unauthorized modification of the game, on an official server.I've never been part of the discord either but I would say it is too cheeky to post a link to pirated version of the game there seeing as it was set up by the developer himself so I'd sympathize messages getting deleted and people being removed because of that. Self destructing the entire discord and venting on twitter though... bit much imo.
Last thing we want is to be dealing with some sort of DRM in the future.
