They've already did that with 3 of their past games.

Basically, out choices are:

1. Shitty service built on false advertising, lies and deceit
2. Shut the game down

The pattern of Nutaku is quite clear when it comes to their online web games. Hype up a new game, keep it alive as long as possible, then move on to something else when the well dries up. Pretty much every game they've localized so far ends up broken or abandoned in one way or another.

Flower Knight Girl is probably their longest living web game so far. And it isn't because Nutaku is doing a good job with it, but rather the natural developments and player friendly atmosphere of the game itself.
It hurts to see FKG player praise nutaku for game mechanics/rewards that are simply nothing more than expected mechanics brought on by the actual DMM game devs.

Nutaku have since expanded to service to include one-time-pay eroge now. So it looks to me their trying to get away from the initial online game infamy and change their service to something more immediately lucrative.

Like I said in the other thread, FKG Nutaku has its perks that DMM does not have.

To our knowledge, Nutaku also has yet to shut down a game directly under their control (not counting the 3D bingo/slot games which obviously clashed with the rest of the site).

LoV was not under Nutaku, and DTM/DS were not only not under Nutaku, but apparently the devs were going to pull the game regardless of revenue, and refused Nutaku's offer to take over the game. Meanwhile, Angelic Saga and Quiz of Valkyrie are still afloat, despite their obvious lack of popularity. GK... could probably be a lot better, so I hear. Not sure how Hitsuji is still kicking. Osawari and Pero are obviously still popular. I think DP and IW aren't under Nutaku. Kanpani has seen better days, they definitely dropped the ball on this one somehow.

Anyway, I'm all for Nutaku bashing when they deserve it, but at least get the record straight on that much. Of course, there's always room for improvement, but FKG is probably the best game they've handled yet, so they at least deserve credit for that.

That said, Aigis is basically dead in the water. If two Odette-sized breaks did nothing to their revenue and dissuade them to change their ways, the whole "not spending" idea isn't going to make a difference either.
