Thank you for bringing it to our attention. We checked MobyGames for the post and it seems it may not be updated.

Unfortunately, this is not the exception. In 2021, it didn't provide the names for Inscryption even when pressed (@dmullinsgames.bsky.social)

Nor in Tunic, in 2022.

In 2024, @corekeepergame.com couldn't credit them. The publisher tried multiple times

This is not the first time EDS Wordland is credited without any individual contributor names:
- Lorelei and the Laser Eyes (‪@simogo.com)
- Skin Deep (@blendogames.bsky.social)
- Wanderstop (@ivyroadgames.bsky.social)
- The Artful Escape (Beethoven & Dinosaur)
All published by Annapurna.

(LSPs can be skeevy, though: some don't pay their linguists very well, and others don't put their names in the credits.

A lot of translators across our industry (including me!) continue to rally for #TranslatorsInTheCredits -- follow @locincredits.bsky.social !)

Not only that, they cannot answer a simple question.

I had a sad but hilarious back and forth with a sales rep from LocalizeDirect (they reached out to me) about whether or not they use machine translation. We went for 5 rounds of emails where they repeatedly dodged the question. Reading between the lines, it's clear they use MT in some cases.

They are also known for ignoring requests related to credits.

Hyper Gunsport brought this issue to their credits:

You've always got to ask localizers up front whether they will provide you with credits. We made this mistake before, also with localizedirect, which is reflected in the Hyper Gunsport credits from @necrosoftgames.com

Localize Direct is known for not crediting their contractors as seen in @reignbreaker.bsky.social (2025), Guns of Fury, by @gelatogames.bsky.social, (2025), Ved (2024) and Tin Hearts (2023).

Thanks for the heads up! The missing names will appear in the next patch. 🌄

Thanks for your reply! While some Lionbridge staffs are included, no translator is. Unless they only used machine translation and/or the team specifically refused to be included, there's definitely some people missing. It wouldn't be the first time an agency fails to credit its translators.
