I saw this story and... well, it sure is odd.

But before you get too excited, the game's global closure date was also announced in the same Twitter post. Launching in February 2024, the game will be supported for a whopping three months, before closing its doors in May 2024.
What that actually means is that you'll be able to download and play the game to your heart's desire starting from next month (with an exact release date to be determined), but when May 31 rolls around you'll no longer be able to download it or buy any in-app purchases. This is a gacha game by the way, with new idols being acquired through in-app purchases.
So... a game is launching globally in February but will then close down in May. And it's a live service game, which means players pay real money to make progress.
The game launched in Japan last year but is closing in March.
I don't get it. Why would anyone pay out money when they know the game will only be available for a few months? Gaming is getting crazier.
