I haven't done sufficient updates to keep up with recent events but as many XSEED fans on Twitter know the company was BUSTED bigtime for cheating Brittany Avery after being fired with the disgraced Tom-chan "The KKK Witch" Lipschultz. This led to the fashionably flamboyant Executive Commander Sterling to produce this most excellent video lambasting XSEED for cheating people!** Boycott X.X.XSEED Games Facebook Page! Is XSEED waging a "war on women" of all ages, from underage teens and up ? Recall the Huffington-Puffington Post article on their stripping game whereby some in the feminist camp would say yes... Do they pander to pedo-pervs at some level, however small or not ? We'll have a bit of a look at what one of their customers said.
First, let's recap, (1) we know that Thomas "WyrdWad" Lipschultz used his company for revenge against another Falcom/Ys fan that he was feuding with before being hired by the company, (2) that they're criminal cheats who'll exploit the fan community and the free work hours that were done in the past for fan purposes so they can save some time and a buck or two in localization costs! (3) We also know Tom was a highly animated animated-child p0rn0gr@phy defender way before working for XSEED Games... You can find his activist posts trying to get people to lobby the Japanese government not to pass restrictions against cartoon pedo-p0rn0gr@phy back when such legislation came up. Recall his quote, "And yes, I do defend animated child p0rn0gr@phy under freedom of expression and am PROUD to do so!" So yes, you could say he is "highly animated" on such subjects with that big mouth of his...
Now as people know, I'm staging a boycott because this is a bigoted, arrogant, stubborn company that refuses to apologize and correct the injustices they perpetrated against me in their shameful, illegal Ys script acquisition deals that led to my lying, conniving, thieving, scheming, criminal translator, Jeff "Call-me-Psycho DeuceBag!" Nussbaum, pocketing 100% corporate profit/credit for 4 translated results he was in possession of given our paperless fan partnership/organization, that is, due to thousands of my IT/tech work hours for Japanese text and image extraction/preparation and translation software/etc... They actually broke the law in their commercialization efforts, but literally DO NOT CARE so long as NightWolve "got exactly what he deserved, NOTHING," it's all good! They think cheating me is BETTER PR/public relations than not... That's STILL the malicious mentality that you're dealing with here, monsters without ANY remorse/empathy for the hurt they caused, disgusting as it is!! It's ironic how Lipschultz became part of the "evil corporation" and used it for evil being he was a bigoted anti-capitalist commie decrying the evils of capitalism once upon a time...
Per my boycott, I can't judge these "games" of theirs since I don't buy their products, am NOT a fan, and I advocate said boycott until (1) they publicly apologize for cheating me and (2) properly credit me in the Ys games in question! How hard is that ?? HOW HARD IS THAT ?? To the shills that pretend this is crying over spilled milk, that's a LIE - they could make peace with me tomorrow and correct the crediting in the Steam releases in a day or two! Instead they choose defiance daily, thus I do too! That's how it goes! If it was too late to fix this, THEN you could bark at me to "get over it" and demand I cease negative comments about them... But, they continue to refuse on a daily basis, which means they do not learn from their past and if they truly believe they did nothing wrong, we should worry they could do this again to somebody else in the future! I believe in accountability, even with a pathetic videogame company such as this one!
To the point, it's great when I can find other people that have no connection to my grievances and are willing to point out that this is a disgusting company in their opinion for other reasons. Enter Sean of Minnesota, a father of a 4 year-old daughter who was willing to criticize XSEED, tell them what he thinks of this "Senran Kagura 2" game they recently localized! I, ladies and gentlemen, on the other hand have officially been blocked from posting on their main Facebook page even though I never posted there since 2010 (I think)... The troll behind the XSEED account answering him back is none other than Thomas Lipschultz. I recognize his writing and line of thinking anywhere - he likely blocked me. However, I can still post in the FB page of the pedo-perv Senran Kagura 2 game (my post is still not deleted, am surprised)! Wonder why ?
I love how Lipschultz reminds him that it's simply "his opinion..." Well duh, to quote Maddox, who else's would it be ?? Hahahaha!!!!
"That we cheated you, NightWolve, is simply your opinion (hint hint, it has no weight, we don't care, it's mostly limited to, you know, just YOU!), you didn't translate a single word!! You were just a text delivery boy, you will NEVER, NEVER be credited, mwahahahaha!!! You delivered text from point A to point B which constitutes a 'service' at best! As for IP Rights violations, your software being used for commercial purposes to export the translations, GIVE ME A BREAK, it was just a poor man's Microsoft Notepad/Word equivalent, NOBODY had to respect your copyright/IP on it, NOBODY, least of all Jeff or us, mwahahahahaha!!!!! Who cares, cry me a river, just suck it up, move on, get over it, get over it, GET OVER IT!!! We won, you lost!!!!!"
The rest speaks for itself. So yeah, it's good to see more people speaking up about this disgusting criminal cheat of a company for their own reasons. It does seem there's an intersection with their criminal/immoral/unethical behavior in how they criminally cheated me and the type of games they choose to localize. There's a disconnect that's there... They're, in their mind, "above" our common social mores, values, good taste, and even laws if they can get away with it...
Can you think of other companies that would make enemies of fans of their products such as what they did ?? I cannot... I don't understand their continued defiance in providing a remedy, that is, what they gain by it... I can only guess it's vindictive satisfaction because the other possibilities don't make much sense...
X.X.XSEED Games, ladies and gentlemen, living up to their rip-off of a name... Give 'em a round of applause, especially to Lipschultz! Ain't he a great guy, that Tom ??
Wow, the embarrassment and shame he's brought to this company, I've never seen anything comparable like it elsewhere in all honesty and yet he STILL has a job there! His behavior is rewarded/tolerated! How this lying, cheating criminal monster pulled this all off (same goes for Jeff) I'll never really know!!!!
I haven't done sufficient updates to keep up with recent events but as many XSEED fans on Twitter know the company was BUSTED bigtime for cheating Brittany Avery after being fired with the disgraced Tom-chan "The KKK Witch" Lipschultz. This led to the fashionably flamboyant Executive Commander Sterling to produce this most excellent video lambasting XSEED for cheating people!So...I fired up a cracked copy of Ys Chronicles+ by the RELOADED pirates for the 1st time to see how Falcom upgraded the Ys Complete DirectX5 game engine, been curious, and never saw it till today... Surely Tom-chan Lipschultz doesn't mind, after all, he happily violated the licensing terms of my English fan patches before being hired by X.X.XSEED Games AND again violated my IP Rights AT the company given my translation software -- all in conspiracy with Jeff Nussbaum -- having shamefully ensured I was criminally cheated (hence the boycott campaign), so what's good for the goose is good for the gander!
To the point, observe his characteristic lameness above having defaced the Ys I PC script by inserting a pop-culture reference which you'll see right from the start, a line from an old 80's song "ManEater" by Hall & Oates... I honestly can't believe he started the game off like that thinking that he's in ANY way, shape or form "funny!" What a pathetic deucebag/duncebag I thought to myself seeing it with my own eyes for the very 1st time (only heard it rumored before now)... I can almost imagine the smirk on that disgusting vindictive face of his when he wrote it thinking it's a "plus" when nothing could be further from the truth, he just defaced the script... I felt it worth ridiculing, so I immortalized it proper with an ani-GIF.
P.S. This is yet another technical criminal copyright violation as I'm sure the X.X.XSEED gang did NOT license permission from the copyright owner to use a famous line as this verbatim in plagiaristic fashion for monetary gain in a for-profit commercial product... Let's call it what it is, it's PLAGIARISM without the licensing/permission, so write your OWN jokes you cheating, bigoted, arrogant f*cking aholes!!!! Once again, F*CK YOU and your disgusting excuse of a company!!!!!! You NEVER should've snuck around and illegally acquired those fan-translated results if it meant cheating one party over another, and objectively allowing for revenge given your disgusting employee started a public, nasty feud with said party BEFORE being hired!! You're Grade-A DISGUSTING and you tainted Falcom and ALL of Ys history with your unjust, bigoted, discriminatory actions!
Now "ManEater" was released on the H2O album in 1982, and the record label is RCA Records, who for the purposes of copyright would legally own the song, that is if the Hall & Oates group didn't work a deal to retain ownership of their songs. One party or the other is who you'd have to contact to legally use that line! So anybody surprised they ripped off yet another party besides me to publish their game ? I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this company is a disgusting embarrassment, a blight in the videogame publishing world... Lipschultz lectured, demonized, and attempted to extort me based on respect of copyright law, but he and his company need quite a bit of education on the subject as it turns out...
Update #1: I'm gonna contact the legal department of RCA Records, show them the GIF, report XSEED's info, and hopefully they show interest in pursuing legal action which would REALLY make my day! Sure, the odds are .0000000001% they'd give a damn, but I'm gonna give it a shot, what the hell, there's nothing to lose other than a few minutes of my day!
;DJust happened moments ago, an Ys buddy of mine (a big "fan" of X.X.XSEED's Thomas "WyrdWad" Lipschultz and an ex-forum moderator of ALOY whose final act they're quite familiar with, heh) PM'ed me that an original Ys I & II Complete Limited Edition set had just gone up on eBay by HitJapan. He knew I wanted one after he showed me the one he bought and he kept an eye out for the next sale to pop up on my behalf. I should've bought my homie GillianSeed's copy when I had a chance during his great sell off of his Falcom collection many moons ago, but good ole MP83 scored that copy instead...
So HitJapan wanted $50 + $20 for shipping, BUT, they had a Make Offer option, so my initial haggle attempt was based on subtracting that $20 for shipping, to keep it at $50, my absolute max, so I offered $30... To my surprise and disappointment, the operator was online and accepted my offer a few minutes later... I wonder much lower I could've gone, but oh well, $50 it is!!!
It's a bit collectard to want this for my shelf basically since I played out the game and already have the Falcom Popular Edition which is the mini-me version of this full Limited Edition set. For the most part, it'll admittedly just be a shiny trophy of some of my Ys past. Always liked how they fashioned the box in the style of an ancient book of Ys. But yeah, oh well, I have a bit of collectard in me.

This led to the fashionably flamboyant Executive Commander Sterling to produce this most excellent video lambasting XSEED for cheating people!Tom-chan "The KKK WyrdWad Witch" Lipschultz and Ken Berry Very Wrong of the shameful X.X.XSEED Games made a bet... They bet that they could simply ignore me away... They bet that there'd never be any consequences for publicly and deliberately cheating a prominent Ys fan out of a lifetime of work and dedication that spanned across 5+ years (on the contrary, they thought that like-minded bigots in the Ys fanbase would *reward* them for cheating me!!)... They -- including Jeff "Call me Psycho DeuceBag!" Nussbaum -- bet that after enough time, I'd simply give up, disappear, etc. as all criminals hope in that their victims simply shut up, "move on," go away (think Bill Cosby) and no longer cause them any PR consequences/damage, further or otherwise... THEY BET WRONG!
While Alan Oppenheimer is fairly famous for all his voice-acting work in 80's cartoons (He-Man, The Smurfs, The Transformers, Scooby-Doo, etc.) and did a great job voicing Darm and the opening narrator for Ys Book I & II, there's somebody else that worked on the game who achieved far greater fame that's worth mentioning when one fondly looks back at a great classic such as this for the NEC TurboGrafx-CD system!
Something I once learned from a Game Sack episode (thanks to Joe Redifer) and never was the wiser till it was explicitly pointed out: See that Thomas H. Church credit for Goban Toba ? Yep, that's one in the same as Thomas Haden Church, the Hollywood actor last known for playing SandMan in Spider-Man 3! The Ys Book I & II dub was well-funded after all and still is one of the best that I know of in a videogame!
How about that ? I was pretty surprised when I first learned of this. In addition to a high-quality dub, Ys Book I & II sports one of the greatest soundtracks in videogame history, right along with the sequels for the NEC CD consoles, and that is a big reason why I and many others became such devout Ys fans!!!! The magic of when I first fired up Ys Book I & II on my brand new Turbo Duo in the 90's still remains with me to this day. The partnership of Hudson Soft and Falcom led to some great things in gaming console history, and it's too bad Hudson is no longer with us...
"After years of decline, one of Japan's publishing legends [Konami] is poised to exit the console market. ... How does a company like that end up ditching its New York Stock Exchange listing, its most famous developer [Hideo Kojima] and the eagerly awaited revival of one of its most-loved game franchises, all in the space of a month?"
Cleaning house, making way for "Konami: International Gambling Masters." Well, so long Konami, for real, thanks for the memories... You will be missed... Honorable mentions go out to the Castlevania series, Metal Gear, Silent Hill, and Gradius/Lifeforce... And with that, I leave you with 2 great ani-GIFs that capture the situation well:
Well, you can't blame Solid Snake for turning on Hideo, I mean, he did all the real work, risk-taking, getting shot at, in the Metal Gear saga and probably for shitty pay, then was left with "A Hideo Kojima game" stamped on all over the place, Hideo trying to glory hog/take most of the credit... You'd be pissed too, wouldn't you?? He had it coming I say!

This REALLY made my day when it kicked off!! HAH! I LOVE seeing that bastard's alias in my christened form (Psycho DeuceBag)! As for my thread, it's about Tobias/PCEWorks, a known bootlegger who secretly took my Xak III patch, pressed it onto real CD-ROMs for commercialization without consent/inclusion so he'd get to pocket 100% of the net earnings at premium pricing!!! The drama was Psycho DeuceBag/Lipschultz/X.X.XSEED Games criminal sneak/cheat shenanigans all over again! Continue reading...
WHY would @XSEEDGames insult me by calling me "Hitler" when I would NEVER call them "Stalinists?" Oh well, I try so hard to be their friend - and maybe someday that will happen! twitter.com/realDona
Just got blocked by @XSEEDGames on Twitter a second ago.. I just wanted to express glee to the jerks for having kept their divisive, poisonous, criminal hands off of the new Ys VIII title & Gurumin, well, they had no choice, NISA poached everything out from under them! Live by the sword, perish by it... It took another ruthless ugly competitor to bring them to justice by taking the Ys series away, that sweet Falcom partnership, which they NEVER deserved!
Psycho Kirsten "omgfloofy" Miller called me a "f@gg0t" on Reddit by proxy with an animated meme! In a recent exchange, she spammed me with this: https://imgur.com/wA Who is Kirsten ? She did work for X.X.XSEED on Ys Celceta and is credited in the Special Thanks section... Don't they get more embarrassing the more you learn ? In the aftermath of the terrorist attack at the Pulse nightclub where 50 people were executed, does dropping "f@gg0t" still fly in so a nonchalant fashion ? Source Link.
Is XSEED [Lame] "Games" waging a "war on women," specifically "little women" ? Do they pander to animated ped0philia-loving perverts ? Man, these headlines write themselves! Hah! Attaboy Tom, thanks for the lulz at least in the midst of all your criminality!
It's been 11 years since I managed a new PC Engine project, but I have indeed returned to the retro console platform I first started the ole fan translation gig with! Finally took the time to mention it here, >> Emerald Dragon <<.
1) Kinda funny, but Ken Berry, Director of Publishing of XSEED Games, did a Facebook block on me some time back... Heh-heh. Guess I should feel honored! That's in addition to Thomas "WyrdWad" Lipschultz of course after I sent him a PM. 2) OK, REALLY LOLOLOL FUNNY, X.X.XSEED Games is under fire by HuffingtonPuffington for what "may be one of the most despicable video games of all time!!!" HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Lipschultz is on the Comments section defending his two-bit, perv, criminal cheat of a company against the author of the blog article to boot, so is even the X.X.XSEED Cock-Flasher, it's a full-on freakshow! More of my thoughts here! Oh lordy, the delicious irony and glee here, I can't contain expressing it!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this company is a disgusting embarrassment, a blight in the videogame publishing world... Lipschultz lectured, demonized, and attempted to extort me based on respect of copyright law, but he and his company need quite a bit of education on the subject as it turns out...
