I'm not trying to dispute what you're saying, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on as I really didn't expect MWA to get shut down now.
Oh no worries, your first sentence already told me to clarify what they drop and you wanted more info about it. There's quiet a lot of skipped events, along with another cash shop package for exp. Which includes a fairy that you can lock and keep in your main barracks and she'll give a boost of any exp you get whenever you upgrade any units. There's also a long list of games from DMM that they closed down.

I very much agree with this. Another question is who to trust that doesn't drop the ball. Google is a safe bet. I manage to catch up to Pumpkin Scissors manga compared to where the fan translator dropped a long time ago. As for adult games... *shrugs* I know Fakku is reliable, but they haven't expanded their market too much on browser games. They did touch up on Eroge and Visual Novels though. Actually, there is J-List. They are also similar on how DMM is also selling miscellaneous products minus the browser games.

I also agree with the pricing if it was similar to Japan's. Sadly the royalties and license on some companies charge too much. Albeit that my next example is China and not Japan, it fits what we're both are talking about. A notorious example is Qidian and Qidian International with their slave contracts for their translators. Chaotic Sword God was a good book, but Qidian is charging too much on royalties where it's not worth localizing.

As for the two way street. I do agree that they're too passive atm and I would actually say that Japan is currently turtleing. The ongoing anime and manga have been rehashing the mainstream too much and they're neglecting the niche genres. Their mindset is currently at if presented with a new idea, they're ask "Do you have any metrics on if it'll sell well? If not it's too much of a risk sorry, but you could add this since everyone else is doing it."

Then again this isn't the blame of one company but Japan's marketing view point as a whole.
