Cause there aren't always officials.
I'm personally satified reading just the few officials whenever they are released. I used to read the fan translation but stopped when I realised I was re-reading the officials when they're released. Plus, the waiting for the officials to catch up after the fan translations are abandoned just isn't worth the initial satisfaction of reading the fan translations ahead. But of course, to each their own.
Yep, to each their own. That's entirely your right :)
Funny how the officials ALWAYS catch up with the fan translation. Makes one wonder why bother read the fan translations when one still ends up waiting for a whole year until the officials catch. It sure makes sense to wait for the officials instead of reading the fan translation.
