Let me get this straight.
Korean backers pledged for official Korean localization, which has no subscribe or platform limit, on release day.
It was pledge goal (2.4M$). So, technically, we (Koreans) already paid for it.
Yesterday, Obsidian removed Korean local sign on Steam PoE2 page.
and Obsidian said, Korean version will be distributed by H2 interactive, and H2 ONLY.
That means, if you don't buy KR sub package or key, you don't get the Korean local.
Ofc, it excluding backers, but still... backers didn't want this.
Because it looks like Obsidian double selling Korean local right.
(like I said, we already paid for it... then H2 got the monopoly right? WTF?)
H2 interactive has many history about delayed or wrong translation. and monopolized Korean sub.
Korean backers pledged for NOT having this kind of issues.
We wanted release day Korean local.
We wanted no limited Korean local with any subscriptions
We wanted no limited Korean local with any platforms.
As far as we knows, it's all betrayed.
Yes, many Korean backers are angry now, including me.
As I already said, most of Korean backers don't want this. We pledged because we don't like local retailer's Korean monopoly. We wanted Korean will be included in global version same as other languages. Does other languages in pledge goal also backers & local retailer only? NO. Then why Korean local is so special, and got restricted without any explain? Dev should explain this problem as detail as they can. If not, we keep believe we got scam, that dev double selling Korean translation right.
