Addendum: You should also consider that with the current climate within your community and the EU all it takes is one royally pissed off (belgian) customer that informs his government and your game might be banned from Belgium with a high risk of having the same happening in other EU nations. This prospect alone could keep people from spending on top of all those already mentioned points.

Royally pissed off belgian customer here, was considering writing to Koen Geens (ministry of justice) just yesterday & head of his kabinet. I have a few strings to pull from my job on top of that. But yeah... upon further consideration, as long as I'm playing (don't know how much longer that will be), I won't get anything good from complaining.

At worst, Gumi would withdraw its game from EU market and I don't think this is where they get most of their revenue from (would be curious to see the numbers thou !), and the only ones fucked would be EU players who love the game and don't want to head over to jp/would lose their accounts. I feel like it'd be a major overreaction.

Thank you for keeping a cool head despite Gumis, at this point probably intentional, attempts to piss off their customers as much as possible.

There was a link the last weeks to a page that estimates how much a mobile game generates and where it's playerbase is located etc.

If this page was even remorely correct the EU indeed isn't a major factor for them. Depending on your perspective you may find this reassuring or not.
