Meanwhile I am playing a fan translation of a game that people made for free by people that will get nothing in return.

Bandai has never released the game in english because they don't think they'll make enough profit, despite fans urging them.

Passion and time is what creates things.

Profit hinders just as many things as it helps create.

Exactly. Games in general are a great example of this. The amount of work that goes into emulation, translations, mods all for no price is incredible and usually enhances what studios can't / won't do
