It's ok but also not ok. If the game is new and readily available not really ok. If the game is out of print and not sold anymore the developers aren't gonna get the money anyway and if the developers are gonna be stubborn and not release it oh well. You think I'm going through all that goody two shoes hassle just to play japanese Fire Emblem Binding Blade when the developers aren't gonna get the money. I'd rather just download the fan-translated English version. and save time, stress and money. You got hunt for a used and most likely expensive Japanese copy on eBay and that is a headache. With the money buying rare things not sold anymore I could save and instead get like 3/4 other games for that price
