It's hard to say. Dunno. For a long time, konami did have a presence in Western countries through DDR and the likes, but yeah most of their business is confined to Eastern Asia. osu! is a global community though, and it is their copyright so it's all within their power to do so. Not that it helps much......
It's just really frustrating to think that all those iidx maps myself and other have made - we can't really do much else with them now. I don't regret making them, and I assume most other people feel similarly but it's just sad to all of us now that we can't move them forward. Like it or not, the main way to get people to play and enjoy your maps is by ranking them. I still enjoy all of them for sure, but it makes me a bit sad that even more people probably won't ever have a chance to enjoy them either now.
