When it comes to Bandai Namco and Amazon, most of us will immediately think of famous publishers who have released many blockbusters and super products in the past. Besides their own games, Bandai Namco even released Elden Ring and received the Game of the Year title of 2022. However, recently, this duo has just made a decision that is facing a lot of criticism from gamers.
It all started with the game Blue Protocol – one of the names that has received a lot of expectations from gamers. Just released in 2023, but recently, Bandai Namco suddenly planned to stop this project, and also gave a timeline for its decision. Accordingly, the Japanese version of the game will end on January 18, 2025 and Amazon Games also canceled the release of this game in Europe and the US. Bandai Namco's explanation was extremely brief as the reason given was because they would not be able to provide a service that satisfied all players.
Of course, this has been met with a lot of criticism from gamers. Most Blue Protocol players have waited for 3 years, then got excited about this exciting game and then canceled the Japanese version, admitted to releasing a global version and then canceled it too. It can be said that Bandai Namco's “underground” decisions have made players go through too many emotional levels. They even recently announced that they will not refund those who have spent a lot of money on Blue Protocol.
Instead, Bandai Namco’s compensation is simple. From next September until Blue Protocol closes in January next year, the publisher will give away 5,000 Rose Orbs (the game’s precious currency) every month in exchange for skins. Players will also be able to receive newly released battle cards for free. But of course, that’s not enough to make up for the money gamers have spent on Blue Protocol, and who would be excited to receive these compensations when they know the game is scheduled to close?
