I'd argue that any MTL ruins the chances of a game getting a legitimate translation. Why would an amateur translator want to translate a game when majority of people have already played a shoddy translation? I appreciate the sentiment that some people do by releasing them, but parading these translations around as "Complete" and "Playable" is ruining the translation community, especially given how few translators exist that aren't apart of a company now. I wouldn't be so uspet if it was just one or two being released, but f95 users is notorious within the translation community for pumping out MTL translations faster than ever before, and it's absolutely stunting fan translation.Let's not go full everything or nothing. I remember the translation community on their early days. I had to either try and figure out EVERYTHING in Japanese by trial and error or wait two to three years for the "official" translation.
Of course a translation by an actual human being is VERY appreciated.
Of course mtl is shitty, but I'd rather play the mtl than nothing, if I were to not be able to wait any longer.
Let's just say, wait for Shady Dealer's translation to enjoy and appreciate it and mtl if you REALLY need to wank off badly, though sucks for you to "ruin" your fun with mtl
edit: but i have to agree, the release date is scummy
