Online play using Aime, including CHUNITHM and maimai DX, stays unavailable. Sega Fave cut ALL.Net and Aime services from 15:00 on November 1 after third-party unauthorized access. In an apology and notice dated November 2, the company said no leakage of customer or business partner information had been confirmed at that time, and that payment information including credit card details is not held on the affected servers, so there is no impact. Bandai Namco Experiences published its own notice on the trial resumption. Players are directed to each title's official website or social media for operating status. Taiko no Tatsujin can run offline for at most 72 hours, and some game centers posted that the cabinet stopped working even offline once license authentication expired.
