...and that game is successful, but it's riding more on the coattails of KC than anything else. Nevermind that despite being similar, the games are not mutually exlcusive from each other (that is, there is no reason why one cannot play and enjoy both games),

This appears to be a different form of pushback as it seems to only tak about KC Arcade and not the game/franchise as a whole. Duh it's really weird. Despite being a "notorious clone", A***L*** already had an official Collab with Hyperdimensional Neptunia even World of Warships!!! Tbh Kadokawa is so lame they rejected to do a Collab with WoWS just because of their game being "region locked". Bringing KC beyond region locking would cause a whole *SLEW* of problems, especially when more Americans and other Westerners start picking up the game... and Americans would pick up the game.

For one thing, KC already has a reputation of 'whitewasing' Japan's actions in WWII, which would fly like a lead balloon for westerners. Compund this with the implication (and, again, reputation) that Abyssals are pretty much 'Not Allied Powers in WWII', and you are asking for all sorts of grief.

Note - I am well aware that Abyssals are not the USN with the serial numbers filed off, and that while KC is Japan-centric, it is not anti-US or anti-allies, nor is it exclusivly pro-Japan. However, perception trumps reality, and the perception is that KC is anti-US and Pro-Axis with a bit of rewriting of WWII thrown in for funsies.
