Good translation shows respect to your devs, writers, and players around the world—and it boosts your profit and brand image, too.

✍️ "In creative and media-adjacent careers, the ladder often starts with free labour."
Many young people in this country simply cannot afford to work free, but many industries still normalise free labour as a route into a career.

Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.
