You may be right, but playing with API has been in practice for a while already, even before the patch...so I can't directly relate the current API issue with commie releasing the patch. It may be what trigger DMM and KDKW, but it may also be the case of bad timing. Bottom line is, I don't want to start blaming without any hard evidence against them. The main reason given for the tighter security is "to reduce cheating".
Back to KCV and sanaechan, even if these programs help display more data/info from the stock player, we are still bounded by the game rules e.g. we can see what ship we are building but we still cannot choose the ship we want or we know the fatigues level of individual ships but we cannot remove the fatigue without using the provided means (mamiya food supply).
If I were the dev, these things are very low in my priority because they don't impact the game the way cheaters do. It might not be considered as an issue even, because the harmless nature of the program. I have other more issues to handle, like those actual cheaters, increasing server capacity, new contents, and maintenance.
I even feel that the devs know that we foreigners are playing the game, but they may have decided to turn a blind eye over us. Why? For the company, any new player is a source of income, regardless of the origin. Plus, they also know that these foreigners are not just leechers i.e. they do purchase stuffs of the in-game store, which create revenue. My theory is that if they limit the pool to only Japanese, sooner or later they will have no more new entries, but on the other hand, they don't want to open the floodgate and freely let everyone around the world join them when they have enough issues at hand trying to handle the server load. So they play silence for now. Another plus side also, the more exposure the game gets, the more people will buy the merchandise when they come out later. So in actual, it's a win-win situation for them.
the main reason main ppl are pointing at commie is that anon's of 4ch already huge disliked for commie even before the API expiring incident and even earlier than their english patch becuz RHE from commie actually hacked the game (like getting Yamato on a server that started after her event and before LSC [I think it done by accessing old event maps]). I also know other ppl manage to put like AP shell on Kongou class or 46cm on CABack to KCV and sanaechan, even if these programs help display more data/info from the stock player, we are still bounded by the game rules e.g. we can see what ship we are building but we still cannot choose the ship we want or we know the fatigues level of individual ships but we cannot remove the fatigue without using the provided means (mamiya food supply).

In theory, KCV and sanaechan only reads the data stream becuz of that, it is "in theory" not possible for DMM to detect it unless they are specifically looking for it
Kadokawa has come out and say that they don't care about foreigners playing the game but dont expect any support from them or making any business decision involving us thou
Also, I think it was a horrible design on the dev's part to begin with that would even allowed us to play it thru the API
