Every single purchase page in Square Enix's
irredeemably badly-run online manga site includes a prominent link to
a stern lecture about how scanlations are destroying "the future of manga".
There are even legal threats in there. "Oh, I see that you are considering giving us money. Well, I hope you're not
also considering clicking away to read our titles for free on a better-designed site run by amateurs! Because if so WE'LL SEE YOU IN COURT YOU LITTLE SHITS."
The scanlations have been here longer than you have, guys, I really don't think they're the problem. The problem is a combination of technological incompetence on your part and the artistically stagnant and increasingly-irrelevant nature of your product. So, like DC Comics, only with more UST between dudes.
