I believe Mindrunner does have an update for Nutaku news.
But he just want to pinpoint to that first wtf daily-deal.
I understand that English isn't your first language and I very much doubt I am proficient in your first tongue to offer an alternative, so I may misunderstand what you're trying to say here. If so, bear with me.

A few things:

1) It sounds like you're saying that Mindrunner does keep up with events on the Nutaku side. If that's the case, then why was he pretending ignorance regarding the Agave Daily Deal by referring to it as a "new paywall" when it was nothing of the sort? Pretending ignorance would only serve to incite anyone who doesn't keep up with Nutaku and if that's so then he's the worst kind of troll: surviving on ignorance in others because he can't make an otherwise decent argument. I mean, maybe he is that kind of person, but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt in that he didn't really know and was simply out of touch and making a statement based on his well-documented disdain towards Nutaku. The difference is that the former is a despicable liar with a self-aggrandizing agenda and the latter is simply someone with an axe to grind who didn't take the time to check something out first.

2) I realize I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't really see the point in making constant comparisons between DMM and Nutaku when it comes to FKG. Yeah, on the DMM side you could get Agave for about 30% of what Nutaku was initially offering her for (before adding in the 25 FGs), but on the Nutaku side, the 5* girls are typically $20. I didn't really see the issue with another $5 tacked on to reflect her relative rarity considering she can't be otherwise pulled. Which isn't to say that I think paying that much for a sub-par 5* is a great deal, but before the FG additions it was pretty clearly aimed at the collectors who wouldn't mind paying for her, and that was obviously looking like a very shallow pool which is why the FGs were added. I wouldn't have paid $25 for just her, but the added FGs made it a lot more appealing for me to buy.

3) This last one isn't so much directed at you, but there does seem to be a rather loud clique here that really seems to object to Nutaku making money and I honestly don't get it since DMM very clearly has aspects that almost exclusively cater to the paying crowd. Yeah, DMM showers players with all kinds of freebies, but from the admittedly anecdotal evidence I've seen here, the drop rates seem significantly more favorable to players on the Nutaku side. I don't know if it's just that these people really suck at math and are stuck on getting "free stuff", or if their animosity is just an emotional investment. Pro tip: if you feel something is too expensive, then don't buy it. If not enough people buy, then any company (including Nutaku) will adjust pricing until people do buy. If enough people bought it, then you weren't the targeted customers in the first place. Yelling about how something was too expensive and Company X is greedy just makes you look bitter and poor since most people would just shrug their shoulders and spend the money on something that was more important.

I generally refrain from posting in here since this thread has of late become a "bash Nutaku and people who play it" mire and so long as it's been confined here I couldn't care less, but Mindrunner's post that I responded to was just a bit much. Eab and I have had one rather heated exchange on this forum so far, and probably disagree on other things as well, but taking something that happened on another forum and bringing it here for no constructive purpose, in fact the intent seems patently obvious to troll him, isn't right.
