Welcome Back! by the way 500 auric cells expired

Had to take about a two month break due to work and moving and as soon as I logged in I found 500 auric cells expired yesterday, due to "Japanese law", even though I've never had any other game do that here for the last 7 years in Japan..... Well what else have I missed, and is there something new that will want me to play after getting kicked in the crotch? I noticed my ears got blasted as soon as the trailer started and there's some anime on the load in.

That sucks.
Why is that a law?

To my understanding, Japan has rules about cryptocurrency or not-in-game currencies. BHVR I guess decided to consider their currency under these laws and expire your cells after 6 months. I'm sure it's a nice way to make a quick buck but interesting cause other games with currency don't have these limitations from what I've seen.
