I share the same concerns now that Aigis shut down and Aigis (it has flaws) is one of the popular games
After X-Overd and the others, I thought Aigis and Flower Knight Girl wouldn't get shut down
Plus, Nutaku is shifting towards western porn games coz I think it's cheaper and they won't get hassle for censorship (though, western games - I don't see them go with any lolis or anything from Kamihime's Hentai shtick)

I think Nutaku is going in the red and they should just focus on a few games instead of opening up so many and then have to close some
It's not a smart business move
It has everything to do with Nutaku. If they allow a game like MWA to close, they are failing their business model (being a content provider-- in fact, they are not providing the content that people paid for). They need to either step up and fix it, or they might as well just close up shop because they cannot do their job.
Of course it is. Gotta force people to play the shitty western games so they don't have to share profit with DMM.
Dropped a few hundred on the game in September, pretty annoyed about this, and really sad that the game is going. It's what brought me to the site in the first place.
Paid via Paypal, so I'm not even sure if I can chargeback as easily as if I'd used a credit card - anyone have any experience with such?
Because they two of the 3 items I listed (lack of front page exposure and lack of Norland) started happening a month ago and were steps that would be taken had they known to cut their losses, even if they had made it public. One or the other I could understand as coincidence, but both? Not credible in these circumstances. Cutting their losses was a decision made by upper management by end of September at the latest.
As for 'near universal' clauses to prevent surprises in contracts, the key word is universal. "Near" was referring to the odd case where circumstances would be out of the scope of ordinary business transactions, the property in question is valuable enough to risk it, or one of the companies doesn't have competent legal assistance. Partnering to bring IP from Japan to the US has been around since the 80s and this part of the contract would have been boilerplate. Aigis was valuable to us players, but not that valuable in financial terms.
So that leaves either Nutaku knew well before today or does not utilize competent legal assistance in the legally thorny area of Intellectual Property. Take your pick as to which you consider worse for a company you would do business with.
