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
