In this modern age where if it isn't one's operating systems that are raising the bar with minimum system requirements (a la windows et. al.) it will be individual browsers like chrome and what not. Surely if one can address those issues like anyone else could one would, presumably they could also try and address the issues with their own internet connection by upgrading no? Well, Kancolle's game assets are one-time downloads as long as cache is intact, computer upgrades are one-time asset purchase. A good Net connection on the other hand may entail a huge utility bill, which isn't something poor people could afford. Sometimes players could spend on extra ship slots like nobody's business but balks at bigger monthly bills, Hyopcripsy, sure, but that's how customer psychology works.

And that's before getting to, say, places where good Net connection are simply nonexistent. We live in a world where everything is connected, they said. Well, whoever believes that are myopics who haven't even saw a quarter of the world.

I partly agree that computers can be seen as one time bill. What I don't agree on is the fact that there is always the need to pay for any additional costs such as upgrading the machine and maintenance (if applicable). Then there is also the ongoing bill of electricity costs. Again yes it is ludicrous how people could spend money in all the other directions and then expect to dwell on poor connectivity. If you have no unlimited data, i am sure that in some countries the data cost in a year can cost more than a new PC.
