There is no \"US Server\", so they're literally ripping out individual accounts for people they flag as being in the US.  Servers were already low pop, so this won't help and the game probably will die for real soon.\n\nIn any case, this game wasn't made by ByteDance (SGRA, though I don't know who owned them) and was previously published by Nuverse but apparently it's all Tencent now (owner and publisher).  So something still doesn't add up.\n\nBut it might be worth keeping an eye on just in case this really is some harbinger of future issues Chinese games will have in the US.",
