Microsoft Korea cancels Korean Subtitle on Project Spark at Day One.

A week ago, Microsoft Korea has announced this title as korean localized title, and they were taking pre-order for this title until a day before release date without any information changes.

And now, Microsoft Korea accidentally canceled Korean Subtitle on Project Spark at release date,
DAY ONE
!!!

As apology, Microsoft Korea announced that all pre-ordered users will receive their copy for free. And refunds will return to all pre-ordered users.

The Funny thing is that Forza horizon 2 and Sunset overdrive also unlocalized for korean, Microsoft is reducing localization supports for korean. And Microsoft Korea's press releases are getting worse and They're losing confidence.

The way Project Spark has been handled is weird all together. The fact that they kept the name Project Spark for full release was bizarre for starters. Seemed like a really interesting idea, that still feels like it is in it's infancy, even though it's now out in the wild as a full release.
 
I mean, free and refunds show they at least knew they fucked up, but the day of release? That's weird and does nothing but piss people off. And considering they could have said this like, a week ago, it comes off as trying to sell some copies before people find out. Notice it says only preorders are free or refunded- if you walk in day one and buy it would you still be out the money? What a weird, dumb situation.

I reads like a hasty decision, never a good sign
 
Weird why they withheld it. Localisation isn't a 10 hour job, they should've known weeks in advance they weren't going to do it.

Ended up losing money and consumer trust as a result. Absolutely not worth it.
