I am not going to pretend I know why DMM has 'Japan or USA' only...I have a few ideas, but without any actual understanding, I just cannot comment on that matter in comfort.

You do realize that KanColle is in the same boat as Granblue Fantasy in that regard, yes? While KC is for Japan only, but there are plenty of players all across the planet that play. I know 2 people who frequent these forums (or at least the chatroom) that are from the USA...including myself. This said, there could be any number of reasons why DMM has made the decision that they did... or maybe it's not up to them and has more to do with legality... I mean, DMM has a subsidiary called Nutaku that is for the English-speaking (or, rather, not Japanese) crowd and there are plenty of games and such there. Why they have this seperation, I have no clue...

As far people pointing to Kadokawa instead of DMM, that is probably because people don't know the difference between a developer (Kadokawa) and a distributor or publisher (DMM). Which is understandable in some cases, because the very large scale game companies are their own developer and publisher... but most games? Not so much.
