You've just stated my point, right after saying "your point doesn't make sense". You misunderstood my point.

We call this a "market opportunity".

It's ultimately still Nutaku's responsibility

Of course you're justified. Of course it's their responsibility. Letting that be an excuse to not do more hinders progress.

Your line of argument is based on rationalizing reasons why you shouldn't even think of becoming the viable alternative. What you should be doing is listing all the reasons why you personally can't make your own company and forge favourable relations with other companies to deliver the service that's in demand. There's plenty to put on that list.

Except no, your own logic is based on the faulty premise that "enjoying something but being dissatisfied with the service means you should be qualified to do it yourself."

I shouldn't need to list the reasons on how 99% of Nutaku's customer base likely doesn't fall under the combination of "qualified, motivated, AND having the proper time and resources" to be a competitor. You act like anyone can just start a company on the spot.

Yes, all our arguments and complaints likely get us nowhere, but that doesn't mean it's on the customers to take direct action as a competitor in order to improve things. That's such a giant leap in logic that isn't feasible for most of us, so the only reason I can see you bringing it up is to just shift the blame. Which brings us back to this.

Just because market competition is a healthy thing, doesn't mean that the entire population goes out to start businesses whenever they feel one business has wronged them. So again, pinning the blame on Nutaku's customer base when Nutaku doesn't satisfy them and saying we should be the ones to come up with a better solution is stupid. You can call it "taking the easy way out", but realistically speaking, that's how it is.

Excellent, you've finally said it out loud: "We're not good enough".

Now that it's acknowledged, the next question would be "well how do I become good enough? I'm powerless now, but must I stay that way for the rest of my life?" I bring this up because that's a more constructive line of thought. Granted, all you wanted was to vent your frustrations. Much as people complain, if they don't act afterwards it shows how little they actually care about the topic.

The restriction is due to lack of capability. Not because of some rule saying "only those who are obligated should act".

What the hell? No, that's NOT the next question.

When people are dissatisfied with a game, they suggest the makers do something to improve the game, or move onto something else. They don't necessarily make their own game.

Dissatisfied with a restaurant? Complain to the owners for compensation, or have food somewhere else. Not start their own restaurant.

And so on. Extend this line of thought to every product/service in existence. The answer isn't simply "make your own".

The fault, again, lies not with us, therefore there ISN'T a need to improve ourselves. It's like you're asking every person to strive for perfection in all fields of life. Be some super-successful everyman. That's not reality. If everyone could make their own thing, there'd be no point to a business.

Again with this rationalization of sloth. You seem obsessed with blame, fault and obligation. Those are not relevant in the argument I'm putting together. Stop looking for what isn't there in my words.

An attempt to dilute the 'target scope' by pointing out everybody else. The correct answer is "I am striving in a different field of life, therefore I choose not to strive in this one".

See, if you know that what you're asking for isn't feasible, then why bother mentioning it? That's even more pointless than just regular complaining.

This isn't about laziness. It's a fact that most people recognize they aren't qualified to take part in this (or any) business, therefore they choose not to devote resources to it, much like people don't just drop everything they have and take part in improving every underperforming business they come across.

Or even if they were qualified, they don't see it feasible to just snatch up Aigis from beneath Nutaku's grasp and improve it on their own accord or something. It's called being realistic. The only realistic choices for most people are to complain to Nutaku until they improve, or find their gaming/waifu fix elsewhere, whether it's DMM, other games, or waiting for another company to pick up the slack. Not "make my own localization company for DMM games."

I'm pretty sure you're just fucking with me at this point.

My original post on this topic wasn't directed at you, but I do thank you for helping me hammer out the points. You could have walked away but you kept contributing.

My intent was to get (a subset of) people to realise they've taken up a sense of entitlement to unreasonable levels. Yes, people have a need to let off steam from pent up frustrations. Of course they're entitled, perhaps even obligated, to give feedback to companies about things they're not doing well. But what happens is a vulgar vomit of vicious vitriol - incivility.

At core, someone has set up a company to deliver something you care about. You have explicitly pointed out how that person is better than most people. It need not be said how many ways that company isn't living up to customer expectations. They are still doing much better than what most people could do themselves. Unreasonable entitlement is thinking a small (from a company's perspective) amount of money buys you the justification to verbally abuse[1] an entity more competent than you. Such an attitude is hiding from the core of the issue: frustration that you aren't in a position to do better yourself - i.e. refusal to acknowledge one's own powerlessness.


[1]That's not to say aggressive coercion has no place. Just that it doesn't require superficial disrespect to pull off.

Nutaku "fixed" assists 1.5 months after the first shitstorm at 2nd EG (at 3rd EG) and they RECENTLY "fixed" the N cards fiasco in event gacha, which is even older than those claims (the Shuri Tsutsui fiasco).

Seems close to your point but one issue, those claims was correctly funded. Shitstorms about the medal campaign after 4th EG ended with a worse result, they keep the short time to obtain cards and technically still impossible for a free user or casual casher to get limited cards, because they claimed about the cost of cards, not availability.

Now they repeated the same fiasco with Airu card (campaign released after xmas instead to be in line with current event and again, by a short time).

So, users influx on the behavior of a business.
