This is a supported game by Crunchyroll as well. Yes the same Crunchyroll that you can stream Anime. What's weird is the Japanese version will still go on and that version is literally printing money but this version just went down under bad.

Crazy to me because two other gachas I am playing is also CR supported: Bloodline and Street Fighter Duel.

Boom! That's right, this is all happening! You cannot change the channel now!
You know me, I'm a big fan of subtlety. But that's downright cryptic.

I'm not sure entirely myself. Just going by what people are saying. I assumed the game was profiting big time since it was one of the most popular gachas. I wonder what the real issue is.

It's supported by Crunchyroll and is thus on the line regardless of if anything is actually their fault.

Gacha games don't survive by being profitable, they by being *wildly* profitable. If the employees are projected to make the company more money by doing something else they will drop the service and move them elsewhere. It is the basis of capitalism: the product is irrelevant, the money is the only part that matters.

I get it. Gotta meet the profitable quota or else it's gone. Funny thing is I don't think any of their other game makes close to Priconne so I guess within a year we're gonna say good bye to the other CR games as well.

I'm being told by Discord buddies that Cygames, the dev for Priconne, pulled out the deal to keep on producing stuff for the game. That it wasn't a money issue so it may most likely be they want to move on to a different project. Just a bunch of heresy, though. Nothing official.

A lot of gacha purists complained about the meme tier localization and censorship. They quit as a result.

Something very similar happened to another gacha, Blue Archive, where global had censorship and bad localization but Nexon fell to pressure to raise the age rating to Mature to keep the game uncensored. As a result their global server is going strong.
