The Fate/Grand Order published by Netmarble is being criticized by users as it has been discontinued with the New Year event.
Fate/Grand Order, first launched in Japan in 2015, was launched in China in 2016 and opened servers in Taiwan and North America in 2017.
It is a global game that was released in Korea on November 21, 2017 while Netmarble was in charge of publishing, and expanded to North America as well as three East Asian countries.
The Fate/Grand Order is scheduled for the New Year’s special event’Yeonmajeong Prosperity’ in January until the 16th and the Happy New Year Start Dash login bonus campaign until the 20th, but the campaign was suddenly canceled on January 4th. .
Since then, the Fate/Grand Order on January 6, “The Start Dash campaign was applied differently from the intention, so it was delivered through an external channel and had to be stopped urgently, so the details could not be disclosed. I will apologize for any misunderstandings and failure to guide me properly.”
After writing the apology, the reaction of users who enjoyed the Fate/Grand Order and the related community was cold.
In the case of the Fate/Grand Order Korean server, it was not only that the Start Dash that was paid to new users as well as existing users was not paid, but it was not a content that it would not be paid from this order, but the event reward was paid well and then stopped. This is because it is a situation where they say they cannot give.
As a result, criticism of publisher Netmarble, DeliGHTWORKS, which developed Fate/Grand Order, and Sony, and Aniplex, a subsidiary of Sony in charge of distribution, increased.
Particularly dissatisfied with users is the discrimination against the Korean server for Fate/Grand Order.
The Fate/Grand Order Korean server skipped large-scale offline events held in Japan, China, Taiwan, and North America, as well as various events such as April Fool’s Day content, omitting various commemorative venues, etc., and compensated for this through Start Dash. Because this has stopped.
In Netmarble’s apology, users speculate that the Start Dash campaign was stopped due to pressure from Anyplex or Sony, which manages IP such as Anyplex, and why Anyplex, in charge of distribution, will compensate for the incident. In addition, they are angry at the fact that the server is capable of ignoring the publisher Netmarble and changing its operating policy according to taste.
It is spreading that some Korean users of Twitter tweeted about excessive events on the Fate/Grand Order Korean server to Japanese Twitter users, and that distributors urgently stopped the event, but there is no clear confirmation yet.
Users who have waited for Netmarble’s apology and rewards, after the apology is posted, say, “Move the Korean server to the Japanese server,” or authenticate to the community’Galgal Show’, which is the act of grinding and folding items in their account. And expresses his feelings.
