People are unhappy about the decision, especially if it was loot boxes that broke the camel’s back. A large chunk, if not nearly its entire fanbase, believe the team should dash the loot boxes. Now, it is possible that the game simply doesn’t have as much traction in those regions to warrant support, but that’s just passive ******’s Advocate stuff right there and it’s more likely related to the laws.

In-game item purchases are available in the affected countries until October 31. The game will likely run fairly normal until the game officially shutters in the countries on November 30.
