While Nutaku definitely has a bad track record in being open about information, screwing up development/contracting/whatever and overall being greedy cash-grabbing pigs (to the point it can ruin games), this time I have to toss my lot with the minimal sympathy crowd. It's in the FAQs (unlike some other issues people have had), after all. Personally, I buy N Gold regularly, but I know I'm going to spend it within the next 30 days (generally within 2 weeks), and I don't buy in advance (though to be fair, I'm a low-tier/casual whale so I spend on N games quite a bit more than some here).
