I wouldn't say buddyfight is dying but I would say Bushiroad is making alot of "Budget" decsions when it comes to the western/european audience. The first case of this is of course the buddyfight anime becomming Subbed from Dubbed while there's alot of different ideas of why this happend it's obvious that it's cheaper for them to have a Subbed instead of a Subbed and Dubbed anime. Another way we can see this is of course the pack price increase which went into effect kast year which saw bushiroad products rise in price. However note that the price increase did NOT take place in Japan. Another example is Weiss Schwarz, It's fairly obvious that if they had to discontinue a card game it would be Weiss, the English Meta is boring, very limited and stands no chance vs Japanese Meta Decks, why does that even matter? Well that's because in alot of Bushiroad Weiss events they allow Japanese Decks too be played as it attracts a larger amount of people and also because the English sales are quite poor (Due to the $4-$6 Pack Price). However with their new card game Luck and Logic coming out to the west in summer I believe it does raise questions on Bushiroads marketting tactics. I could go on to talk about alot of different reasons so if you need more just ask but in the long run Buddyfight is dying in Europe quite abit but I don't know about Amercia.

This was even more obvious when Force of Wills 2016 UK Quallifer had more parciptants then any Buddyfight tournament ever has in Europe.
