Gotta say though, that takes a load off my mind. Now I can focus on getting through the main story (such as it is, anyway), screencaping a few of my favorite scenes, and generally just satisfying my curiosity...

Argh, I didn't want to think about this game going away, but I forced myself to face it and now have every girl at UR and 200+ affection. Now to carve a chunk of time to read all their stories.

Oh well, more tears in the ocean. Just another reminder that any company that kills games is not a company you want to give money to.

I think I've spent more time on this in the past few days that I have in the past year. As it turns out... I really like this game. I mean, I did before, too - there's a lot of work put into the art, into the story, into the characters. It's just... it's on Unity. There are a finite number of computers+browsers I have access to that can actually run it well. That, and I don't care for the combat much. Much of the player input is in the preparation and the battles themselves are rather simplistic.

In the meantime, I'm doing much as DrunkMonkGar did, and am leveling up, ranking up, and feeling up (pun intended) all the girls. I'm also recording random things like backgrounds, voices (for now just Francette, the girl I put a ring on, I plan to do Elena and Adelite next), music... just, everything I might possibly want to look on in the future.

Yeah, I don't take games being taken down very well. Things like this are why I have a motto of, "If it's on the internet and you like it, save everything." Happens a lot on Nutaku, I notice, and it seems the reasons are similar to why Millennium War Aigis got taken down - the devs did things too conservatively and didn't devote the proper resources to the English version (being hesitant to take risks is, so I hear, a common thing with Japanese corporations). Thus, there wasn't enough interest.

It's funny to see how some people complain about "Nutaku never learning on their mistakes", because the ones who never learn is players themselves - the ones who keep Nutaku afloat by giving them money, playing their games, even simply visiting their site. I mean, Nutaku already proven themselves being bad at management, support, basically everything (except from PR). And yet people continue throwing their money at them...

and... its gone.

Was there any compensation for other games? I kind of forgot about this.

Well, I blame the devs. Although not as much as I blame the devs of Aigis. In this case, it kinda just seems like they got in over their heads...

I don't know why people hate nutaku so much. They just lend their servers to other devs/publishers for a part of their earnings. Nutaku can promote the game on social media, their front page, heck, even fake the ranking to attract more people, but after that it's all on the publishers hands to keep their players happy and interested.
To put thing in an example, imagine Nutaku as a shopping mall and the games as stores. If a stores offers shitty/overpriced products, it's not the mall's fault, it's the store's fault. But Nutaku it's not completely blameless.

If a publisher determines that a game it's not profitable anymore and decides to take it down, most of the time (most) it's not Nutaku's fault. Some of the games I played and why I think the closed:
- Aigis: According to the publishers, the game wasn't profitable anymore so they took it down. Nutaku negotiated with them because they knew Aigis was one of their most known games and it's closure would affect their reliability (and it did).
- X-overd: After a few months they had a low playerbase so they weren't getting the amount of money they were expecting.
- Sengoku Providence: The game was killed by the devs from the pre-release because of the greedy management that it had from beginning to end.
- Brave Girls Raven xR: No major updates for over a year, playerbase died out = no profit = closure. What many people wonder it's What took it so long to die?
- Idol Wars: The main mechanic of the game was the PVP. A broken matching system put a casual production against a full-of-whales production, which made PVP a one sided massacre. That scared away many players, and not having anyone to show off your superior wallet made the game boring even for whales.
- Osawari Island: The game was a time bomb since it's closure on DMM.
I don't know about the other games since I didn't play them.
