Care to address any actual points, or just throw insults?

I am certainly sympathetic to your situation (I've had things I was looking forward be cancelled or altered, etc), but that doesn't change the circumstances.

I was not exploited. I did stuff as a hobby that I enjoyed doing, where everyone involved was entirely upfront. The people who worked on the D:OS 2 localisation were autonomous, rational individuals, capable of deciding whether to help with the project and how much time they were willing to invest. The fact that a future game will not have an official Italian localisation at release does not mean that the people that worked on the D:OS 2 project were retroactively exploited. They did not work on the project with a promise of guaranteed localisations in the future, and never brought up such conditions when dealing with the legalities of the official release.

Yes, there you have an entirely valid point (though the Steam page was also updated).

That was my mistake based on the old interview and the same mistake being made adding Italian to the GOG store page. Unfortunately I didn't double check that, and the people who knew it was added by mistake did not mention it directly to me or in any of the company chat channels that I follow (I work remotely, not in one of the offices), and didn't catch it in the forum.

The people working on the localisations did indeed know about this months ago. Unfortunately, when the decision was made about how many localisations could be done and which ones, the interview confirming Italian the better part of a year earlier wasn't on anyone's mind. Many things were changed or revised since the initial game announcement (many were not announced, some mentioned and described as a work in progress); it is hard to go through continuous evolution and change, then when something changes you may have once been confident of, think back if it was ever confirmed publicly (in any of very many interviews).
With the mistake on the BG3 store pages, it certainly would have been better to fix it as soon as it was noticed, rather than wait for the next page update (regardless of the somewhat convoluted process involved).
Dear Raze, it is obvious that you remain in your positions saying that things can change and that you have had problems and now one thing you have promised you have to deny to the all community of Italian fans.
But the point that you still with your work make a product that you sell and if you make an advertisement, you make promises you have created emotions, expectations that now for all Italians have become FALSE with a simple message on the forum.
Guys this is a game that there are people who have been waiting for it for 22 years, our reaction is normal.
Sorry for my bad english, but at least i'm trying to change your mind for the localization.
