I can understand retail workers, they're doing their 9-5 for to make a living. However it's different than, say, translation/localization for VN's since not a lot of people get into retail for the joy of it to start. Although I can't speak from experience, I'd assume VN translation isn't one of those "I gotta make money somehow" jobs? If anything, if you are deciding to work with a company dedicated to translating VN's, not exactly a mainstream game genre, then it's safe to assume you do it because you enjoy visual novels, which is something the people in the leaks didn't even seem to show a sliver of that passion. It'd be like if you wanted to get into teaching anatomy but you hate life sciences.
