Are they obligated to do it? At least we got a LNY event multiple times before; Diwali, a festival which is also celebrated by more than 1 billion people worldwide has never even been addressed by Kabam yet you don't see people complaining about it. Btw they did address the elephant in the room and also post it in fb. You'd have known if you spent a little time searching instead of just rushing into the forums to complain about it.

Are you just being weirdly defensive about Kabam or do you truly not understand what a bizzare move it is for Kabam to go from widely celebrating Lunar New Year year after year to not even doing something as simple as acknowledge it with an in game message ?

I am not being defensive for anyone. If you’re trying to insinuate that it’s some kind of a hidden agenda against China then it’s highly unlikely and the way I see it is just a business move. I am just speculating here so take it with a grain of salt. Before when the game had a large active player base in China generating sizeable revenue it made sense to do a LNY event to keep the players happy. But now that the game got banned in China and the revenue declined from that region, they might not find it necessary to keep doing that event. If India was a top revenue generating region then we would probably get a Diwali event every year. The fact that they give a decent Christmas gift suggests that the players who spend most in the game are from American and European countries. Again pure speculation and I have no concrete data to support what I said whatsoever.

That was my thought as well. Which is why I could understand removing the event . But removing it completely and not even sending a simple symbolic message ( it’s not like they are shy on the messages ) to wish people a Happy Lunar New Year . This just seems like pure pettiness and generally when corporate entities begin acting petty and unprofessional and they face no pushback it’s a sign that the quality is about to drop

Seems weird to be so upset about it as well.

China's most important holiday — the Lunar New Year is also widely celebrated in South Korea, Vietnam and other countries where Chinese residents make up significant parts of the national population, according to the National Museum of Asian Art

Maybe the player base in that area has decreased over time? I had never heard of it until the MCOC event.

Hello. The LNY event had gotten stale over the years. This year we have decided to mix things up a bit and celebrate some different events.

Don't worry, the rewards (especially the Units) will be included as rewards in these other events.

Ok but you do realise you essentially just called a holiday celebrated by over a billion people stale and dismissed it as something not worth celebrating in favor of other events ? Like I get that you probably don’t have a sizeable enough Asian demographic that it pays off enough but still you might want to handle this a bit more sensitive becuse this comes off as really really horrible attitude . This is basic PR especially in light of you know what

Again I am not saying you need to give us tons of rewards or something just literally handle it better and do some basic respectful communication over again an even celebrated by over a BILLION people

Not even doing something as basic as sending a Happy Lunar New Year message to the players ? This is not only deeply disrespectful but it comes as deliberately disrespectful . Like I am honestly as to why you would this ? Again before people start going on rants . This is not about rewards this is about showing a lack of basic respect .

What nonsense. Crashed said that the in game event was stale. This is like saying everyone who didn't like the Banquet is disrespecting Christmas

So you think it won’t be a big deal if Kabam cancels all Christmas events and doesn’t even send a in game message about the Chritstmas holidays ? With their only acknowledgement being a Christmas item in the store ? You won’t find it strange ?

Yes. But I wouldn't say that they're insulting christians all over the world for removing Banquet. If you're insulted by a game event not being there, you really need better things to do in your life
