Türkçe biliyor musunuz? You better.
Within a month of Bandai Namco Middle East running an ad with their translation prompt still attached, Konami decided to do them one better.
How can you one-up that? Tweet in Turkish.
This exposed what many players suspected: most of these accounts aren’t run by natives or locals.
The rare ones that are, evidently, aren’t paying their social media managers enough to bother translating ad copy or even respond to player comments.
And Arabic players don’t appreciate being treated as second-class audiences.
The tweet was gone and replaced with the usual AI translation… within 8 hours.
People already clocked it. Already clowned on it.
And that’s not the sort of damage that rubs off with a repost.
