Blaming Devs? They need to earn enough money to be able to afford extra resources dedicated to translation of the game into English and to support an outdated version. If they earn less money than they spend on this, it's obvious why they need to close the game.

I say, the players are to blame. Some did pay some money, but most played the game for free and that's why the game was not profitable and devs had to stop it to cut their losses. And now players are blaming everyone else but themself.
This has to be one of the most retarded statements that i have seen for along time.
Blaming the players seriously?
Nutaku screwed MWA over with their stupid censoring in the beginning leaving critical units out of the game. Resulting in many people giving up the game
Nutaku and dmm never put much effort in mwa as they could, resulting in weeks with no content, resulting in a steady loss of players.
And after their mismanegement either nutaku or dmm keeps us in the dark dropping that bombshell out of nowhere.

And you want to talk about business and making money?
Nutaku will lose a decent amount of whalers not only from MWA but also other games because they have no trust in nutaku keeping the other japanse game alive.
And if dmm really only wanted to make money, they should try to convince english players to go to dmm site for extra income.
They could look into a option for players to transfer their account for free or for a payment. Or they could try to do some promotions, giving english players a small amount of crystals as welcome gift.
