>>1 makes a good point. While Japanese videogames for consoles are usually of superb quality, anything they do for PCs (which, in Japan, means Windows) tends to never work outside the developer's machine, is full of bugs and generally awful technology; Bangalore quality. And of course, it's in Japanese. Among the 127 million Japanese there must be about as many English speakers as in the average Russian household.
Part, though by no means most, of the insanity, comes from the fact they haven't ever heard of Unicode and write Shit_JIS Windows bullshit. Since Windows is a toy OS, software written and compiled in one country won't run properly in another (this is actually an ameritard business strategy: others are divided, while their ASCII shit runs everywhere because everything is backwards-compatible with ASCII).
And of course, while every Japanese person knows about ass eels, nobody ever heard of free software, the GNU Project, Linux, UNIX, or anything of the sort over there. They only use amerifag corporation bullshit.
