Mangagamer: Da Capo, Suika seemingly licensed

FGSFDS

You guys really don't read do you. Let's break this down.

When you download the game and run it for the FIRST TIME you are asked to enter an activation code.
The game then checks if the code is valid and then allows the game to be run. From then on you DON'T need to re-enter a code and you DO NOT need an internet connection each time you start the game up like j-List's V-Mate system.
However, in a similar way to Windows XP, if you significantly change your hardware, or re-build your system, you will have to re-activate the game by entering the code again.
You can do any combination of these things up to 5 times before the code becomes invalid.

I don't blame them for this at all as it helps reduce piracy. And 5 activations is pretty generous too unless you update and/or rebuild your computer a lot! Besides, I believe that, even if you go over this limit, you can e-mail MangaGamer and request a new code as long as you provide your order ID. This is much more friendly than J-List which requires you to log in and connect to the site each time you want to run the game!

As far as the translation thing goes, having a beta up would be logical if they're testing the payment system and activation system as well as the website itself, so they may have uploaded a test version of the games to see if it worked while they finalised the game for spelling/grammar errors. But to be honest, having spelling/grammar errors isn't a big deal really especially since they said they were going to fix any they find and release patches for it. Oh and look at the Bible Black game. That's filled to the brim with typos/mis-translated/untranslated/just plain missing bits of text, so don't complain about MangaGamer especially since English is apparently not their first language (the translaters of Bible Black, as far as I'm aware, were English so :P )
