Dear Fallstar,
I am writing to bring to your attention a situation involving the Russian translation of your game, Harem Heaven.
A user has published a Russian localization and is directing players to their Boosty page, where access to the translation is provided in exchange for payment through a paid subscription.
Boosty page:

I fully understand how much time and effort goes into translating a game, and I have no intention of undervaluing the translator’s work. Nevertheless, I believe that selling unofficial modifications and translations raises concerns, particularly when they involve your intellectual property. I believe this situation deserves your attention as the developer and rights holder of the game.
In particular, I would like to ask you the following questions:
- Are you aware that a paid Russian translation of Harem Heaven is being distributed through Boosty?
- Has this individual received your permission to monetize a translation of your game?
- Do you authorize third parties to charge players for access to unofficial translations of Harem Heaven?
- If this monetization is taking place without your permission, do you intend to take appropriate action to protect your intellectual property and the interests of your players?
I believe that players should have the opportunity to enjoy your game in their native language without having to pay additional fees for access to an unofficial translation.
I would sincerely appreciate it if you could investigate this situation and clarify your position regarding paid third-party translations of Harem Heaven.
Thank you for your time and for your work on the game.
Kind regards,
A concerned player
