Remember in April, when the Nagoshi Studio YouTube channel disappeared without explanation? Panic ensued—or, at least, mild concern was felt by Yakuza aficionados—because just a month prior to that, NetEase pulled its funding for the studio, leading to the immediate assumption that Gang of Dragon was cooked just a few months after it was revealed. But then the channel just as suddenly reappeared—literally within hours—and sighs of relief were heaved.
Now, though, the situation appears to have gotten significantly worse. The YouTube channel is still there—entirely bereft of content, but extant—but as noticed by Shacknews, the Nagoshi Studio website itself, which the Wayback Machine indicates was alive and kicking as recently as April 24, is gone.
