If anything, I hope this means that people will think twice before pirating the games, now that there's a way to legally purchase and download them.
With that said, I shall vote with my wallet as soon as the games are released. If enough people show their support, we might see some interesting things in the near future.
Also worth mentioning: What would an "official" translation look like? I remember coming across a thread claiming that it's possible that the current unofficial translations we're so used to might be "wrong". It's always interesting to see how things like this would work out...
it might just be the regular JP version just being allowed to be sold legally in an Western outlet now.
I'd be totally okay with that. If they don't translate it we probably will.
Addendum: Whoever manages the front page should probably update it to include this breaking news.
