[QUOTE="SiCK_Boy, post: 8133128, member: 7026447"] That's very interesting. I didn't realize the extent of the mess with the Korean product. What I find the most surprising is how the local company used a kickstarter-equivalent to sell their products, rather than following traditional retail channels. Is that common in Korean for hobby-type goods? My personal experiences are with the French products, which are basically available in all the local stores who care to order them from their distributors (with major distributors having exclusivity rights over large geographical areas), who get them from the local publisher (Black Book, before they lost the contract, now Asmodée, although I don't think they've released anything yet since the change in subcontractor). Obviously, seeing this, especially if that local company had a reputation for bad products even before they started to work on D&D 5e, raises questions about Gf9's judgment in associating with them. I'm particularly astounded by the sentence where the company claimed they didn't use professional translators... I mean... Who did you use, then? Google translate? [/QUOTE]
