[BODEM] FukushuNL Players 1,235 posts 8,476 battles Report post #4 Posted August 27, 2020 It's funny, the Dutch and national subforums, akin to a Dutch language option in games. We used to never have one because the Dutch get to be proficient at English because of school and everything getting subbed in the media. Nowadays all children television gets dubbed, seriously hampering learning English from a young age. I don't like it. Just random muzing, mind you. Nothing to do with the reason of the OP to ask for a Dutch forum. Just reminded me of the fact. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like it. The children shows feel like watching German television. Worst is that everyone has the same voices, because hiring more than ten voice actors is apparently impossible. So many brilliant wordjokes are lost in translations. Subs were a lot better, but hey, managers these days think everything should be simplistic and all. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will not happen. Dutch like to get everything cheap. So, unless WG makes a 50% off deal.... no flood, no sale.
