After the shitstorm that was EA's lootbox fiasco, gacha games may be looking at some extra scrutiny in the future. Some nations in the EU are already now classifying Lootboxes as gambling and looking to make it union-wide. A few politicians in the US are also looking into the 'lootbox = gambling' thing.

If lootboxes get classified as gambling you bet your ass it will effect gacha as well (imo gacha is even one step closer to real gambling than EA's lootboxes were)

I imagine this has DW slightly worried about their future in the west; and it's not atypical for a Japanese company to just say "Then to hell with all y'all" when confronted with something like this.
