Wait, so everyone outside of Japan who wants to buy SQ is screwed? Well, that sucks.

I had actually had bought a little SQ ahead of time, partly for some last Merlin rolls, leaving enough for the guarantee gacha, but once I saw the parade of limited servants for the new year summoning campaign, I decided to go for the 140 SQ pack.

$80 down the drain...

Well, I suppose this was always the risk we were taking by playing a foreign game. We're not their target audience, and so they don't have to bother catering to any problems we might face.

I suppose if there's any lesson to get from this, it's just to always purchase one SQ first, to make sure there are no problems going with on the store, before buying any bigger packs. I guess we could consider this safety purchase a "foreign tax" of sorts.

Still, what a shitty surprise for the New Year. Considering this has apparently been going on for about a day, you'd think DW would at least update the news or make some sort of statement with some warning about SQ purchase problems.

...Or, well, like I said, they just really don't care. Even if this causes them to lose some spenders in other countries, I imagine we don't form that big a percentage of their sales.
