Of course this doesn’t factor in everything (whether there’s micro-transaction in the games, number of games, etc.), but it’s interesting to put some perspective. As with many things online, take it with a grain of salt.
this was very intresting. Does anybody find it sort of crazy JP had amazon kindle fire PAD way before NA?
hey… what the heck happend to china lol I didnt no there was a chinese sever? when did it get taken down???
I do not know how long it lasted, but it was quite different from any other version of PAD from the little I saw. It had quite a few unique cards as well. It probably was not used much compared to Chinese players being on the JP version.
Where can I find an uncapped version of the sake yomi comic?
