日本遊戲開發者面臨字型授權費從 380 美元暴漲到 2 萬美元的困境 https://www.gamesindustry.biz/japanese-devs-face-font-licensing-dilemma-as-leading-provider-increases-annual-plan-price-from-380-to-20000

日本遊戲開發者近來面臨前所未有的字型授權危機。原本提供平價商用字型授權的 Fontworks LETS 結束遊戲用授權方案後,其母公司 Monotype 推出的新方案價格從原本每年約 380 美元暴漲至超過 2 萬美元,且不提供日本本地價格,並附帶 2.5 萬名使用者上限,對大型遊戲公司幾乎完全不可行。日本遊戲開發高度依賴能精準呈現漢字與片假名的高品質字型,而字型替換會牽動到 UI、版面、測試與跨平台一致性,對長期營運型遊戲更是嚴峻負擔。部分工作室主管指出,這種變動甚至可能迫使企業重新打造品牌識別,只因公司識別字型已無法負擔續約。

這起事件也凸顯西方企業收購日本公司後常忽視本地市場的狀況。從未提供日圓計價到缺乏在地支援,都被日本業界視為破壞合作關係的舉動,也迫使開發者迅速尋求替代來源,像是轉往台灣的華康(DynaComware)等其他亞洲字型供應商。然而,對於已在市場上營運的作品,更換字型需重新驗證大量 UI 元件與文本呈現,成本可觀,使許多開發者進退兩難。

在 Hacker News 討論中,許多人批評 Monotype 的商業模式與私募基金式操作,只追求短期收益,卻不顧長期信任與市場穩定。有開發者分享遭遇 Monotype 類似大幅漲價的案例,指出其策略幾乎等同壟斷行為。討論也延伸至 CJK(中日韓文字)字型為何昂貴:其字元量動輒上萬,每個字的筆畫、結構與視覺協調都需耗費大量人工調整,無法與拉丁字母字型相比。即便 Google Noto 等開源字型存在,許多創作品仍需要符合特定氛圍與美術風格的專業字型,而不是「能顯示就好」。

部分討論聚焦於 AI 是否能取代字型設計,但多數開發者認為現階段大型語言模型(LLM, Large Language Model)或生成式模型難以處理 CJK 字型的細緻度,尤其涉及字形風格轉換、筆畫筆勢、文化審美與一致性等要求,仍需大量人工修正,難以真正節省成本。有人指出 AI 輔助在 CJK 字型的部分領域早已存在,但距離「取代高品質商用字型」仍非常遙遠。

整體而言,此事件揭露日本遊戲產業在字型授權上的結構性依賴,也凸顯全球字型市場在 CJK 領域的供應稀缺、授權複雜與成本不透明問題。許多討論者推測,此次暴漲可能會意外促使更多開發者轉向開源字型,或加速業界探索新的字型供應鏈,甚至形成更廣泛的對抗壟斷趨勢。

I've been trying to get Linux working comfortably on my desktop PC to switch away from Windows CoPilotification. It's not been a perfect experience.

Hardware support is ofc the biggest issue. Both my main NIC (RTL8127) and my Wifi/BT card (RZ717/MT7925) have issues, at least as of kernel 6.17.

Both of them will work okay until I do a soft reboot from Linux, and then they just stop being visible -- to either OS! -- until I do a hard power cycle (unplug and then hold power button down for ~30 seconds).

Really the only two things holding me back and keeping the Windows drive as my boot default.

My older laptop fares better overall, though it still has issues with the webcam (IPU6).
