Like previous comments pointed out (and covered what I wanted to say in straight regard of this topic, I wanted to, maybe, bring other "relatable" point of view for this talk), this "game" is boring and never-ending grinding. What made me going at some point, was investing money into a "game" that I dedicated many hours yearly. If not for rings or ship slots to increase my "collection", I probably would've dropped it. And what's making me go today is, seeing hundreds of ships "well-raised", and ready for the next event.

I think I'm so "into it", because you can perfectly leave this game as background/2nd plan for a lot of real life/desktop/laptop/mobile-out doors activities. I can never imagine me going back to "play" as I used to when I started :V. Fullscreen, sounds always on and paying attention to every single detail, and getting exited with it (clearing maps, finding common drops and kai-ning them).

About content, yes! I absolutely agree with you, anon user, Tanaka and team seems to find themselves in a comfort zone. Doing literally nothing for new-comers and doing little (in my point of view) for veterans that chews this "game" daily. IdeallyTanaka and team needs to change or improve the mindset of "you raise your fleet for four times a year, in order to go all out only there".

This "game" isn't for everyone, and probably has one of the smallest communities in the gaming community. (but... probably one of the highest in the browser games community).

And let's be honest, if you anon, that played/plays since 2014 for free, you should have nothing but a good taste in your mouth for this free game. If AdmiralSnafu played for two years for free, he should also feel the same. I don't know about you guys, but I almost never play a game longer than a year or two, paid or not. All I can hope is, that the majority of people that invested money in this game, knew where they were signing on, and they never regret it. I'm 90% sure that I'll not. (My only disappointment would be if KC dies out before 2021.)

I'm a simple man, if I invested X hours in some free game/entertainment, and plan on playing further, I see it's more than fair to invest money into it.

In the end, since this game has no ads in-game, it relies on microtransactions in order to continue development. No franchise lives on for free :V. (I'm not gonna discuss here if other free games offers way more than Kantai Collection, or not :V.)

What I can say is, if you, reading this doesn't get excited raising ships anymore, honestly stop wasting your time, before you look back and have nothing but regret in pointlessly sortieing and sending off expeditions :V.

I took a look in Shiro Project fandom. Seems to be a fun tower defense game (I always enjoyed those :V), I might take a look at it in this weeked :).
