Breaking Out of the Gakumas (学園アイドルマスター) Jail

The sunk cost is real.

Despite everything, I can’t justify myself spending any more time on any of these events that require a tad bit more “produce"s. To be honest, even once per day is considered burdensome because of its repetitiveness.

I guess the last straw is that the officials’ decision to release paid swimsuits upon 3 million downloads. And that is all, no jewels, not even presents. This is such next-level craziness and a serious player base filtering that rendered me speechless. And there are always people who commented and cheered under the post on how genuinely generous the officials are running this game.

I now laugh at myself initially researching on MAA and wrote MAA scripts for this game back when I began this game. It prolonged quite a bit of this games lifetime to me since I can just “auto” through production. And there came the N.I.A, and I kept hesitating on whether I should still update my script so that it can do N.I.A.

I was okay with the dailies since it only takes 5 minutes max per day. But not doing the events means lagging behind eventually to a point where you can’t attend the events at all (e.g., gatekeeping anyone whose 親愛度 with a student is below 20)

Maybe I will reinstall it at a later time (courtesy of bandai, this is very unlikely) if they really improved on things, like actually thought about either making the core gameplay more fun (it is not and never a player’s problem), or cut the intensity on asking players to “produce” endlessly in these events.

Thankfully, my a-year-and-then-some time-in-jail has come to an end; sadly, I always had the key.
