Amigues is weaponizing the fact that 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 devs/pubs do have bad practices to hide the fact that it was them & other agencies in the vast majority of cases.
She's taking our fight and trying to pretend she's part of it, which is simply disgusting.

Our collective struggle will not be misused for a PR opportunity! #translatorsinthecredits

After Diablo IV & Baldur's Gate 3, @Altagram_Group became the center of the discussion around miscrediting of game translators.
CEO Marie Amigues has embraced the "any publicity" motto, turning the ordeal into a marketing campaign, even boldly 'siding' with freelancers.

Is the size of a LSP's booth inversely proportional to how well they pay/treat their contractors?
Die Localsoft S.L. aus Spanien gönnt sich dieses Jahr auf der #Gamescom (Business Area) einen großzügigen Stand in bester Lage. Seit 1988 im Geschäft, schon 3.500 Spiele lokalisiert. localsoftgames.com/ #Gamescom2023 #Localization #Lokalisierung

Randall Mage, CEO von Localsoft (Spanien), hat mir gegenüber auf der #Gamescom2023 erklärt, es seien nicht die Dienstleister für #Lokalisierung, die sich dagegen sperren, angestellte und freie Übersetzer in den Credits zu nennen. Sondern seine Kunden, die Entwickler der Spiele, wollten das in der Regel nicht. Als junger Übersetzer sei es selbst sein Ziel gewesen, in die Credits zu kommen. Es sei vermutlich noch "a long journey", bis es gelinge, standardmäßig und ohne große Diskussionen alle an der #Localization Beteiligten in der Danksagung aufzuführen.

A world without CEOs taking home dozens of millions of dollars each year for doing god knows what is horrible indeed.
Imagine how bad and evil and awful a world in which people get paid fairly would be. 🤡

Not sure if it's smart to throw your clients under the bus. #translatorsinthecredits

Funny how it's always the worst paying agencies that don't credit. You don't have to be afraid of losing talented freelance translators if you pay more than other agencies. #translatorsinthecredits

An open letter to #gameloc translators, agencies/LSPs and their clients on the matter of AI/MTPE.

Let's be clear: @Altagram_Group only promises to fix their credits because @larianstudios made them do it. Until today they refuse to credit their freelancers for their work on #DiabloIV. No statement here, nothing. If they are not forced to do it, they won't do it. Nice.

"it's come to our attention"
As IF the systematic omission of translators' names has never been an integral part of many agencies' business model. They don't want to share the freelance translators' names, because they're afraid of losing clients to them. Period.

No need to fear poaching if freelancers leave you because you simply suck

Starting to suspect that simply crediting freelancers would be less complex than dealing with the blowback of not doing so. #translatorsinthecredits

Looks like Altagram was afraid that the crediting issue in #DiabloIV would be forgotten, so they upped the ante! #translatorsinthecredits

We are happy to see unity between professional associations, and we strongly support initiatives enabling discussions among all actors within the industry toward fair and better work conditions.
This race to the bottom needs to come to a halt. We stand together.
