The long-awaited English fan translation of Princess Crown for the Sega Saturn has stirred up some controversy within the fan translation community. After over a decade of work by fan translators CyberWarriorX and SamIAm, another developer, eadmaster, released a version of the game in English using assets from their original project.

everyone is quick to takes sides here but to me this just feels like a sad situation all around. i can see why the original translators thought that closing the repo was essentially revoking permission. i can also see why eadmaster saw the GPL license as explicit permission, and that closing the repo meant they weren't working on it anymore. i hope cooler heads prevail because it would be a loss to the community if anyone involved were to take their ball and leave
