While I do agree to some point with that assessment, I don't think such a
statement is universally true. Let's assume, going back to Jody's example,
that we are talking about BK3. I can't possibly expect that Yukio would have
the energy or knowhow to translate from Japanese into the hundreds of
languages existing today. Such an endeavor, I believe, would clearly be
impossible, and in such a case I don't think the author should be
responsible for making the game universally understandable, particularly
when said game is free to begin with.

It is up to the author, not the gamer, to make a game or a document
understandable.
