Lego World no longer available on asian region?

[Krahgg-the-Insidious]

It seems with the last update, the game's store page is no longer available on my region. I was trying to check the dlcs. =(

Me too. If limited time contents, how to acquire?

A month or two ago, a different company (not TT) purchased exclusive distribution rights for the game in Asia. Therefore TT has removed it in Asia... This new company should be putting it back up soon, but hasn't happened yet... Hope this clears it up for you all

Or maybe gaming stores didn't unshelve it yet, or won't.

Oh my god no please, Chinese companies are mostly cancerous with their microtransactions and they ways of handling games.

No longer buyable DLC separately? (like as Append Disc or Other Online Store like as humble)
Mainland China only? whole asia region?
if takeover to tencent, must transfer included non-mainland chinese users (such SAR Areas, Japan, Singapore, korea...)?

I've opened a ticket, WBGames responded, and it is confirmed that It was pulled out from Asian Region for unknown reason.

if you search the internet, you can find there's an announcement about deal betwen Tencent and LEGO. I believe this is actually the real reason why they removed LEGO Worlds from Asian Region... That's why even the WB customer support couldn't explain the reason when I opened the ticket.

From what I've read, it seems LEGO (as children toys) itself was struggling in American and European region, and China seems to be a good growing market for LEGO.. So Asian LEGO World players might actually be sacrificed, solely to complete this deal :(
