"Hmm I say the average rate is about one in every five to seven sentences."
That's 2-3 errors per page. That's unacceptable by college composition standards. That's a convincing argument that the game needs another editing pass. If the errors are THAT prevalent, posting screenshots documenting every single one is pretty pointless. It would take thousands of screenshots to document them all. That's a waste of everyone's time.
"The way I interpreted these statements is that you think it's not worth JAST's time to fix typos for games like Starless (quote 1) because its fans don't really care for good prose (quote 2)."
You interpreted wrong. If that was my argument, I would've said so. Quote 1 was simply pointing out that screenshots documenting typos (which don't make the sentences unreadable) are insufficient evidence that a general problem exists. A frequency estimate is required to establish a general problem when the individual errors don't distort the content of the message (which was why I requested a frequency estimate). Quote 2 was a reply to a nonsensical nonsequitur. I wouldn't read too much into it. The statement should be taken at face value.
"I don't think its fair for you to use generalizations as a justification to criticize the actions of individuals."
There was no criticism in the initial post that started this. I was then pressed by an angry fan as to why I had the impression the typos were a minor issue. One facet of my reply was that derailing this thread to comprehensively document every single typo in this game seemed like a poor focus of attention. Even faced with evidence that the concerns were warranted, I still stand behind this statement.
"The "conclusion" I'm talking about is you telling us not to bother posting pics of text errors because people like us shouldn't really care about that."
No. See my clarifications above.
It seems to me like one or more people here are very eager to jump to conclusions based on illusory fears of persecution. I find this particularly puzzling since my words as an impartial observer (with regard to this title) carry no weight and therefore "exposing" any ulterior motives I might have is essentially meaningless. Stabbing blindly at curious onlookers is a great way to burn bridges and hobble attempts at growing the niche fanbase for titles such as this. I'll never be converted into a fan (or even a customer), but I'm connected to people who might, so driving me away isn't really in the best interest of fans of Starless.
