Ok that settles it. I was interested in this, because of the premise (medieval Japan, cute girls battling it out, you know that stuff), plus there was one of the girls I really like.
PLUS I rolled a 5* in the pre-reg.

However this pretty much nails it. I will not log into the game, I will not play the game, I will not give a fuck about the game. Even though I rolled a 5*, even though I really like the setting. Unless the game would undergo drastic changes that would bring it closer to its DMM parent version.

If it was just the Gacha - ok whatever, but Autorun and 2x Speed ? Really ? These game are already a bit slow to my taste with all the "Blick blick blick BOSSSSSSS, BLIC BLIC BLICK GATEKEEEEPER BLICK BLICK BLICK SECRET GARDEN !!!!!"
OMG I GET IT ! I dont wanna look at it for 10 seconds, take a picture, and then go make a coffe while waiting for the stupid ingame notice boards to dissappear. ... Now imagine this bullshit, plus the fact there is no 2x on the combat.... yeeeh... NOPE.

TTS: Nice summary, and cool post on the Discord. The fact that they closed the thread immediately... lol If this was a Steam game, I can imagine the hate, heat and bad rep. this would do immediately as the community would pick up their proverbial Torches and Pitchforks and either see the thing solved, or the game burned to ashes (seen this happen a few times, the power of gaming community that is).
If this was made even more public to non Forum, non Discord players oooooh boy..

Overall this is one ugly, disgusting, lack of backbone thing they did with the whole release and the game itself. Extremely dissappointing to see a potential good game die like this. Even greedy companies like EA and the later incarnation of Blizzard (post WOW) dont dare to do something like this, and thats 3A titles we are talking about, as they pretty much know and fear the possible backlash of the community, should the greed be shown to such an extremes.
I will keep an eye on this thread out of curriosity how, and IF, all of this plays out.
Kudos to you for showing balls, yet still being able to be polite and civil about all this mess
