yepp, but if this goes on it could be expensive for them if to much player used this bug, so they fixed it immediately.
the other bugs are our problem so they care less about them...

Why this kind of bug could be expensive for them? It's only blooming heart. It costs nothing. It's even a better thing for them to let this bug run.
Think of this. A few people dose the daily deal to get 3 Hearts and got a ton of them. They speak of that bug all over Discord and forums, a lot of other guys will jump on this bug and on the daily deal, Nutaku get more money than expected. After that, they only need to make daily deal with bronze/silver 2nd affection gifts and make even more money with theses bugs.
But not. They fixed it instead of take the opportunity.

Yop, nice thought.
But then again, they are retarded and have bussines experience on the level of a midgrader selling lemonade on the roadside, so not much to expect from them anyway.

But think about this: 3 Hearts for 100 NG was a pretty decent deal; a lot of people probably jumped on this one regardless of there being a bug. So, let's simplify things since none of us has hard sales data and say that 50% of people who regularly spend money on the game bought the deal before the bug was fixed. Once the bug became known, lets be generous and say that 25% of the people who usually -don't- spend money on the game then purchased the deal before it got fixed.

If Nutaku hadn't fixed the bug, yeah, they'd have made a decent bit from the people who usually don't buy; but they likely wouldn't be able to offer this deal again for a very, very long time; it was just way too many hearts to let go for only $1. Nutaku will end up making more money by fixing the bug and reselling the deal, and they know this perfectly well.

As for offering the 2nd tier gifts as a followup deal? Nutaku knows perfectly well that people would buy it whether there was a bug or not, but honestly I'd be surprised if they offered a deal for the gifts before there was a way to earn them in-game; sure people would buy it, but there'd rightly be a pretty big shitstorm about it too.

I can't say whether 3 hearts for 100 NG was a good deal or not, since we do not know yet how easily these things will be to obtain within the Nutaku version of the game. For all we know, they could only be available through NG/FG transactions at 1FG or 100NG a piece, with the current LC deal (I got one from there as well) being a temporary introduction. So yeah, I grabbed this deal, just in case.

Anyway, more important matter is: who to apply these hearts to.
1. Waifu, that's obvious, so Acacia got one.
2. Fritillaria. She's a keymember of the first squad in my Whale team, so it's only good if she gets better.
3. Cymbidium. Also a member of the first squad in my Whale team. Her 2x passive is also unreplacable, so, as a 5*, she definitely needs the boost to keep up
4. Southern Cross. She's with Acacia in my debuff-squad. Also the only girl with a bloomed form available who I actually use in my main unit, and her debuff is only shared with Gentian. Southern Cross is the way better unit of the two.
5. Hypericum. I really don't want to replace the most awesome ninja evah with a rainbow, so this counter-girl gets a buff to keep up with the 6*'s
6. I had one squad left in my main unit that didn't have a girl with 2nd affection unlocked, so last heart went to Alpinia. I'm sure she'll benefit from it.

I gave the one freebie to Alpinia. While not a Waifu, she is indispensable member of my team, and has an emotional value to me as she was the first 6* I pulled and was the only one I pulled for a Year before I got Appricot relatively recently.
Plus she is 5/5 4/4 with almost maxed out event equipment so yeah. Clear choice.
