Before, when asked about Frontier, Capcom representatives said that the cost of hosting servers for people to play on and the cost of marketing the game would outweigh any money they got from the small group of people that would actually play it (especially if it was F2P, like people were asking for).

I can see their point; localising Frontier would be a risk because it's quite hard to guess how many people would play it, or how much support it would get. Personally I think they should take the risk, but in this economic climate, I can almost understand why they don't want to.

Now, not localising Tri G is a whole different matter...
