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.

To be fair, about ONLY event event Aigis - and so DMM devs in control - skipped forever is Liana. Because lolshrineblack. Elisa was looking to be next event after Anna. Everything else was released already.
EXP Fairy is a recent'ish addition to DMM, around third anniversary, while we were around second anniversary event-wise. So really, not applicable.



There's also Osawari Island that Nutaku (well, some English mobage devs affiliated with them) is running even past closure of DMM side from what I heard.

Liana was more of a "localized" issue than dropped content. You did mentioned Elisa which was the "Anna and the Snow Beauty" event but it's techically dropped due to the announcement of the game getting closed. There's also the "Shadow of the Devil King" event. As for the rest, it were the Gold Rush/Save The Witch events that weren't really worth doing as they were replaced with other content. Though to be fair the other content has better availability since Save The Witch became a tutorial event and the rest appeared in the Trading Post.

Fair enough.

Hopefully Aigis gets the same treatment, but the question is does Osawari Island still get events due to that? Most of Aigis's good content until Makai were about the events and new events.

Osawari is on its second English original event now. Quality on the event writing and brand new girls took a bit of a dip in my opinion, but better than the game shutting down.
