In dedication of XXXSEED Games and the WyrdWad KKK Witch era, we present Jeff "DeuceBag" Nussbaum in his own words:

Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd say Psycho Jeff is involving/attacking innocent families of neo-geo.com fans he wants to watch die AND help murder/kill [painfully]!! And I for one did *Nazi* see that coming! Remember how a defining part of the WyrdWad era (Tom-chan Lipschultz) was equating targets to Hitler/Nazis ? Isn't this rant by Jeff/Deuce a Nazi eugenicist speech ? The "superior" fat, bald, cocky cock-flasher says numerous people AND their offspring need to be exterminated/murdered for being inferior, who represent a "pollution" of the human gene pool... Sure sounds like a Nazi rant, am I wrong XSEED fans/shills ?? Looking at you, DigitalEmelas! I mean, if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, ya know ?? But what do I know right ? Everybody's ignoring it and other XSEED embarrassments... This vile psycho SOB got a pass for just about anything awful and toxic that he ever said/did (meanwhile my alleged "sins" can NEVER be forgiven according to him/Tom)!)! Worse, NIS America keeps on letting him poison the Ys series with his mere disgusting presence and questionable WWWJDIC-assisted translations!

This type of homicidal outburst by the "severely misanthropic, extremely arrogant, self-involved asshole" (100% HIS words!) wasn't the first either: when one of his bosses fired him (shock!), he not only wanted him dead but implied his kids must be as horribly ugly as he is! He didn't think anyone would read his blog, but like omgfloofy says, "Know your translator..." I was also added to his kill-list when I trolled him on Kotaku's KKK Witches article (he wants me to die by an acid bath and/or brain disease)... Another funny anecdote: while there are ambulance-chasers, Bankruptcy Jeff falls under the rare ambulance-crasher category, haha! Imagine being condemned, defamed, lied about by a complete psychotic mess of a manchild after massively cheating you who turns out was deflecting from deep mental problems & his own PR liabilities! This unhinged hypocrite bigoted bastard showing up from neo-geo.com in my forums/projects to get up on his high horse to smear me as an "embarrassment" had A LOT of fucking nerve! BURN IN HELL!!

Jeff and Tom are so arrogant/confident (you've seen it!) about their self-serving criminal views on localization partnerships and commercial selling AFTER you've taken THOUSANDS of work hours from fan co-workers on a project created under FAN TERMS (BY FANS, FOR FANS, NOT COMPANIES!), but WHY didn't they disclose such "views" from the very FIRST project ? Why after 5 projects/5 years ?? Didn't your partners have a fucking right to know something THAT serious/important ?? I'll tell you why: Because they would've been BANNED on sight! NOBODY would accept such terms, not me, not GideonZhi, not anyone; everyone would tell you to go fuck yourself and find another chump to work for free for you, so by failing to disclose them they operated under deception, that's a scam! Begging for free work hours from likeminded Falcom fans so you can build up a finished localization portfolio of up to 5 games/scripts, then commercially selling them in secret collusion almost all at once IS A SCAM! THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT THEY DID! 2 cocky/cunty localization scammers in the industry and 1 shitty company that got away with it! I didn't even wanna work on Ys Origin, I was gonna delete my site, but Jeff came to me crying, telling me "Please don't take the Ys series away from me, it's the only thing I'm proud of in my life..." Of course, he was *proud* to take it from *me* helping WyrdWad continue his obsessed sabotage/proxy-harassment/incitement efforts over the years! The psycho is not gonna tell you about that now NOR his 40%/60% royalty split demands which he was adamant on if I proceeded with a payware idea (which he cancelled after the $550 payment and for me being too slow as 2 years elapsed! So, he could still play the hero in the end!), and people see how he talks about me nowadays... He then proceeded to guilt me by telling me about his suicide-attempt and being crippled from a knee injury, walking with a cane, etc... I never did anything but support and help him across 8 years, even finally paying him ($550), in return he cheated me from a 1 in a billion opportunity, and demonized my name ever since to score points/pander, justify these later double-cross actions!!!

Recently in 2024, he cheated me again out of crediting for 1 week of labor on Samurai Shodown RPG, the BmpTileFlip tool I built for him (per his request) to mod an English font in (of course the guy that cheated you on THOUSANDS of work hours on Ys projects would cheat you for 7 days on this one!)! I remember falsely being accused of talking about the leaker in a DM (I just wanted to show him worldwide Ys patch installation logging!), I was NOT, but he pretended I was, said I had an "obsession" with him which was also false (It was his disgusting, reductionist compare/contrast habit where he'd write that he has an obsession with the Ys series, while "that other guy" has an obsession with the Ys leaker, so HE is the real Ys fan!). He was simply preparing me for the double-cross with WyrdWad's team and was gonna cite the leaker as a main reason, so his talking-point/tactic was gonna be to trump-up charges, smear me as spending "2 WHOLE YEARS" on him/the leak issue, etc. (No evidence for his insane psycho lies, he uses the passage of time to smear you, implying you did X Y or Z for "all these years..." as if I live inside a computer! Even this post I wrote, he'll literally subtract 2024 from 2007 when the Felghana leak happened and claim ~17 YEARS SPENT ON THIS, imply 365 days/year, 100,000 hours was spent/planned on writing something negative about him/XSEED, the poor little underdog angels that they are!!!). If I said the leaker's name once again, he'd pretend I said it 1000 times AND spent 100,000 work hours on him (somehow!), always in the direction of hyperbolic/trumped-up charges to an absurd/comical/insane degree because he was looking to break that Ys Origin agreement behind my back despite having taken more work hours and CAT translation software from me! You get the idea!

I guess the master plan worked out nicely ? Real fucking "hero" of the people, huh ?? There were better/sane/rational ways to cancel our Ys Origin agreement but he chose the worst, most vile way when I didn't even wanna work on the project to begin with! It's just that WyrdWad's team presented him with a plan B and he could throw me under the bus, walk away both with the $550 and gain some sort of "hero" status... Truly a vile fucking bastard, dragged me into it only to ruthlessly kick me out of it once he was sure he didn't need me anymore to finish the rest of the project... Of course nobody imagined WyrdWad would get hired by 2 former Squaresoft bosses just as they had gained a Falcom partnership, so because of Jeff's troll games before that, WyrdWad just copied the same double-cross idea/action. Jeff becoming the "secret translator" for WyrdWad's fan team, that idea was ported by WyrdWad for XSEED on ALL our past projects! And I had to be continuously demonized/blacklisted/shunned as "the worst person in the world" to justify it yet even today I don't really know what I did to these psychos to justify something so cruel/unjust/unfair/despicable! I couldn't be forgiven 3 or even 5 years later, they just kept on doing it!!! Who's the real embarrassment now though ?? Look at his neo-geo.com posts! Ys fans know if *I* wrote something like that WyrdWad Tom would list it as the #1 reason why I was unprofessional/embarrassing/a PR nightmare and to be avoided!!! But you know how it goes, all the XSEED allies will never say a word about it! Very few will ever know just how vile Jeff truly is as a human being!

It's one thing to have your [criminal] views, it's another thing to impose them on someone else without consent! If he (or Tom on the Ys Felghana project!) told me from the very first Ys fan project that he becomes the "100% master CEO/owner" of the translated script for potential/possible future commercial sales and I'd just be the uncredited "slave," (that's NOT a "partnership" despite him ONLY calling it that when he announced he "dissolved" it JUST IN TIME for secret sales to XSEED Games!!! AMAZING COINCIDENCE!!) I'd tell him to find someone else you motherfucker! Period. Never mind the sabotage/threat this represents to all other fan partnerships: producers like GideonZhi have to watch their backs from translators plotting secret sales to companies and using XSEED as a precedent to cut out all their partners! What if I had finished not 5, but 15 or 25 Falcom projects with Jeff, and each time he's sneaking into my CAT translation software exporting a finished Falcom script, pocketing 100% credit/100% payment, year after year, and STILL ghosting me like I never existed ??? WHAT THEN ??? At what point do even the most dedicated XSEED shills like Limfinite/DigitalEmelas recognize this as massive worker abuse ?? Tom/Jeff keep on telling the world they did nothing wrong, right ?? And whether 5 or 50 finished projects involving my free fan labor was involved, Jeff was "free" to keep on making these commercial sales without my consent/negiotiation/involvement, right ??? HOW INSANE IS THAT ??? And yet, these are REAL people who stand by this, STILL unrepentant, STILL won't apologize for it, and worse, STILL spreading lies/misinformation about their victim and the situation! If you finally realized these homicidal psychos/pedo-predators didn't think it through and all the possible ramifications/consequences, then you'd be correct! They didn't! Tom-chan just needed that sweet revenge, that's ALL that mattered to that particular DISGUSTING SOB! He could've let XSEED continue with normal contractors, but nope, I had to be targeted in some way AGAIN!!!! I do wonder if in their heads it still feels "good" or not but you'll never get a straight answer from a psycho liar...

So...I finally figured out why all of XSEED/WyrdWad's friends can be credited for just about anything (including Ys Celceta DVD piracy) but I cannot (they have VERY high standards for people of good/moral character/reputation, you see):
While you are NOT credit-worthy, bold/bald/fat homicidal cock-flashers & wyrdwad pedophiles ARE 'acceptable' for being credited on XSEED Games' localizations...

Fan Translator Strike Force
« on: Jul. 10, 2007, 05:43:34 PM »
I was thinking boy, sure wish we had a nice black ops unit for the internet to 'take care' of scum.
What's worse then the moral extortionist, champion of free games and the illegal?
... I'd have to say hackers who go out of their way to attack small buisness'.
Example : Hirameki International, a niche buisness that translates japanese all-age Visual Novels, which from what I've read
http://anime.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=3433 ; basically states Hirameki is doing their best to market their product but having a hard time reaching the consumers.  Still they state that "Hirameki is committed and very thankful to their dedicated fanbase; and to expect more quality games in the future. The company will do its best to continue to expand the English visual novel fanbase with quality titles and hope the fans will continue to support them. "
So it's just wonderful when some genius hacker(s) decide that they will attack Hirameki's community fourm, overwriting every existing topic, including technical support, valuable information not only about their games but information built up by fans relating to the whole Visual Novel buisness.  And replacing every topic with pirating links of Hirameki's games.

What's worse yet, I heard that right now the person who has the rights to the site, to fix or take it down is just unreachable.  So, what's the bottomline?
In worst case scenerio last week when they first started attacking I counted the amount of downloads, seeders, leechers etc...
Basically it amounted to about 35 thousand dollars worst case lost.  (Based on Rightstuf's prices.)

I just don't understand why a few screw ups in the world have to damage small buisness' or people who are all about bringing something new.  So, I think I'm starting to get a picture of how you feel NightWolve, every time some champion low life shows up to free the games, and to try to break those who make them.

[Oh and just so you know, most of the games can be obtained for about 15$ if you get them on sale, or 20 - 30$ if not.]
http://community.hirameki-int.com/

EDIT: One bit of good news, I assumed they had been hacked after hearing that and not finding any old topics...  But, apparently I found the old topics!  They were just buried under about 300 spam topics for each category.  Have to hit "a thread list is here" at the bottom of the page.

Now that's a job I would like to have! Imagine the pure satisfaction of removing this disgusting internet trash. Well, in my mind I've got some sort of Judge Dredd imagery going on mixed with total identity hacking. Like in "The Game" with Michael Douglas if you need an example.
I would display an emote here, but I cannot seem to find one of a face melting off in horror.

That's fucked up. I never heard of Hirameki myself. Take it your a big fan?

Anyhow, I thought after I clicked your links I'd find official statements by the company regarding what happened. Instead, as soon as I scrolled down, I see the whole forum spammed with "DOWNLOAD HIRAMEKI GAMES FOR FREE!!! DOWNLOAD HIRAMEKI GAMES FOR FREE!!! DOWNLOAD HIRAMEKI GAMES !!!!". Clicking inside any thread you find tons of links to torrentphase.com, etc.

Man though, I'd hate to be the administrator that didn't make sure the server was up-to-date to patch whatever security holes allowed this to happen. It doesn't look like they've lost control of the e-commerce part of their site at least. Customer billing information could've been at risk or perhaps still is. Scratch that, I guess it's just automated spamming of the torrent links on their forum. Look at that current front page:

You know, it's funny how I began to think of things in terms of a "war on selling" and this incident turns up, fitting the bill even more so than the random WAREZ groups out there. They don't, unlike these butt-pirates, try to make themselves directly known to the company whose product(s) they're plundering... They usually at least have some level of shame about it and don't take things this far.

I recall that many of the Felghana thieves decried, "Selling is illegal! Selling is illegal!!!", a direction I honestly felt a segment of the culture is headed in the general sense...  As such, this kind of action against a company WITH licensed material is not surprising. The seeds to lead to something like this were already planted. SkyWelse wrote a nice piece about it in that older thread here which articulates the point better than I can.

So yeah, what's the excuse in this case? The company didn't have licenses so therefore they're subject to getting fucked over? Perhaps the prices were too high? We certainly know that $5 for some members of the butt-pirate faction is a tremendous budget buster... It's greedy, it's a scam, etc. I guess at $15-$30, there's your problem.

So, I think I'm starting to get a picture of how you feel NightWolve, every time some champion low life shows up to free the games, and to try to break those who make them.

And interestingly enough, I started getting a picture of how Falcom feels. In the general sense, I have had the perspective of the consumer, which is the position where we are most of the time, consuming products by the producers, but now I also have the perspective of a producer having produced something people wanted, and later stole from me. Sure, it would eventually go freeware as I intended, but that BETA patch wasn't. And as you all would expect, as word of the leak spread, the donation frequency began to drop, and fast. Thus, it was robbery in that sense; that's how I judge it. You can imagine what I wanna do to the leaker, what I've thought about wanting to do him... The fact that you can never really obtain justice in this situation is what is most difficult to reconcile with.


You break my record, now I break you, like I break your friend!
