I have no doubts that it cuts both ways. That's why non-Spanish TV shows/movies/videogames get two spanish dubs, one for Castillian (More like general neutral Spain Spanish, as we have quite a lot of different accents in Spain, and TV series are usually dubed to something like you hear in public news channels, i.e. some form of standardized, aseptic peninsular Spanish) Spanish and one for South America.
Now, I supose that the Latin American Spanish you get in TV/film dubs is also some sort of medium Latin American Spanish, since, at least to my ears, an Argentinian sounds rather different to a Mexican or a Cuban.
Back to the point, GURPS Lite Spanish Edition is in no way ready for distribution, and should be taken down from e23 until it is. It's IMHO damaging the image of SJGames on both the Latin America and the European spanish speaking comunities.
