Okay, but news flash, "we can't control the publisher at the end of the day" is no reason to discourage the naysayers like *some* people in this thread/on Discord are doing.

Defending Nameless for a stupid decision just because "he doesn't owe us anything" is bullshit, since it still hurts Nutaku in the long run.

I'll agree, defending Nutaku or Nameless isn't really what we need here. They've pulled enough stunts already to waive that benefit of the doubt.

...Nor is attacking them, however. I can guarantee they're not intentionally trying to sink FKG. Because it, in part, pays their paycheck. And people like their paychecks.

So again, we go back to the basics. We don't want FKG to crash and burn. Nutaku doesn't either. Oh hey, we all should agree there. Fair enough.

If FKG turns into a game where you cannot have a satisfying experience with little to no money spent, the free players (and occasional spenders) will leave. This playerbase, while likely not responsible for a majority of the FKG income, is responsible for a fair chunk (if not a majority) of the FKG users. If these players leave, and all that's left are the big spenders, the game will not survive for long, leading to aforementioned crashing and burning.

And *that* is where the topic needs to be rooted. Not in bickering about who kicked whose dog, or translation quality. Because that's framed in concrete terms that Nutaku cares about - money and playerbase retention. That's what they listen to, and what drives their decisions. Because it drives their paychecks.

They'll keep it up with the annoying attitudes and disconuts, because none of that really does too much to affect us having fun with our waifu-collectathon. Hell, I couldn't give two shits whether half the UI was misspelled - what's the alternative, read it in moon runes? It looks like crap, and is horribly unprofessional, but I can still just choose to ignore it and play the game.

...But if they get the idea that a change will affect money spent or playerbase retention, *that* change will be acted on.

I just opt to not deal with Nameless directly at this point, since he's made it abundantly clear that he's not good with PR.

Given that, lately, he chats a lot less in public and doesn't respond to PMs either, the feeling is likely mutual.

(I will, however, continue to shit on blobz for as long as he acts the way he does.)

As an aside, what is it with gaming people like this anyway? We were in Maryland and realized we were only 2 blocks away from Bethesda Software so we decided to knock on the door and the biggest bitch in the universe opens it told us to piss off immediately and that we're trespassing...REALLY??? Made me want to rush the door and slam her into the huge Pip boy statue that we were able to get a glance of in the lobby thru the crack in the door that she opened.....

To be fair, not all corporate buildings are meant to be accessible to the general public. The building I work in, if you walked into the main lobby, the secretary would likely ask you to leave if you weren't either an employee or there on official business.

I mean, that's no excuse to be rude about it, but... Random tourists knocking on your door and making you stop the paperwork you were working on aren't going to endear themselves to anyone, especially if you're not supposed to be dealing with tourists.

For many the bad sign or red alert start on last maintenance but for me
alert sign already ringing in April.

Everyone may know our FKG version should reach its 1st year anniversary in late April
or maybe in begin of May and if it's anniversary time
it should have A LOT free stuff give away for celebration.

But what we got during that time? We got a cheap DEAL for rainbow ticket.
After that a DEAL from voting ticket.
It's not right in my opinion why they celebrate anniversary by poking into their customers wallet?
They should give away free stuff as gift to thanks customers that support their game until it reach
it 1st year of service.

With all of that I start to play FKG on DMM and my life is all different there.
I can tell one different thing I get almost 300 free gems in pass 2 month.
From being newbie, from speacial giving away, from collaborate project.
Can you get this amount of free gems in 2 months in Nutaku FKG?

I left the rest to give food for your thought. Feel free to use your grey cell.

Now I just wait for maintenance time and see what Namely & CO. will or will not announce.

I think quite a lot of people got salty after the 50% rainbow fiasco and tried the DMM version after that it's hard to come back to Nutaku. Compared to DMM the Nutaku version is barebones and the lack of free stuff totally kills the F2P players.
