An unauthorized server access on November 1 forced SEGA to suspend ALL.Net and Aime services, halting online play, rankings, and progress tracking for games like maimai and CHUNITHM. While Bandai Namco titles resumed limited operations on November 8, Sega's lineup remains fully offline, leading to arcade closures, canceled events, and players turning to alternatives like BEMANI or osu! taiko. The official update on November 10 promised recovery efforts but no timeline, with the next statement due November 12; no data leaks are confirmed, though vague communications have drawn sharp criticism from the community.
ALL.Net, which powers online features for games like maimai, CHUNITHM, and Taiko no Tatsujin via Aime cards, shut down on November 1 due to unauthorized server access. Sega Fave's November 12 update confirms recovery efforts continue but offers no resumption date, planning the next report for November 17. Players vent frustration online with dark humor about quick fixes or poor communication, while arcades remove machines or cancel events amid lost practice time.
