i know absolutely nothing about this game or its fanbase, but i can already smell the likely undeserved "fUcK lIvE sErViCe GaMeS" videos coming out en masse in response to this
edit: i guess it wasn't entirely obvious i was sympathizing with the princess connect fanbase for losing what i assume was another entirely fine mobile game
edit 2: digging hole deeper, got it -- will shut up now

To make matters worse, it was crunchy roll who ordered this game to die. They own the servers and they didn't even TRY to save the game. That burned a whole lot of players and made them completely untrustworthy of crunchy roll for ever hosting or running any game again.

It didn't help that they did nothing to grow the player base for the couple of years they ran the game.

i play very few gachas but even i've heard about their iffy business practices regarding licensed gachas, people had the same concerns about the the_eminence_in_shadow game when it first came out (notably months before the princess connect shutdown). hell, if i bothered to look now those concerns are probably still there.
it's companies like this that make people outright praising the demise of these games all the more annoying because these idiots are just tossing fuel on the fire, giving them more vindication. also the so-called "critics" somehow conveniently forget about literally any live service game that manages to last for more than a year and/or their existence isn't perpetually harrassed by investors.
I feel so sorry for anyone who invested into the English version of this game, I know that feeling when you spend some of your precious time (and maybe money) into a game, only to have the publishers yank that away because they failed in managing it properly. I was interested in the game myself when it was advertised, but when I heard about it being published by CR, I had my misgivings, because by this point, they had failed in other ventures and had a bad rap from what I could hear.
To this day, NEXON, CR and Gameforge are some of the biggest flags when it comes to publishers to me.
well, that's just the nature of live service games. mismanaged or not, operational costs are gonna do 'em all in eventually, the most one can hope for is that they at least come out of it with some great memories.
