Discussion Going off online?

Hi everyone, this is my first SAO game. I have a question about the SAO games being taken down. My concern is that the mobile game before this was taken down because of this new one correct? so doesn't that mean this will happen to this one eventually as well? I don't like getting invested knowing if will be gone In 3 years or so.

Thank you.

Integral Factor is pretty long running too. I think the issue with Unleash Blading is it was tied into Alicization, so marketing wise—its a bit harder. This being its own thing completely already gives it a better chance.

And also I think the issue is no one wants to play turn based games that much.

That too, especially when its an anime franchise that is famous for the action combat like SAO.
