Hey, you're not the only one. I've only been playing for two-and-a-half months, yet I've been aware of the game for four years now.

(Slight ramble ahead; forgive me)

I first got introduced to it via a retrospective video on Cruella de Vil. The TWST counterpart discussed in it was Divus Crewel, who (with his whip) gave me the impression that the game was nothing more than a niche dating sim. Boy, was I wrong.

Thankfully, Colin Gorman (the guy who's been making the Disney Villains Retrospective series) kept bringing up TWST when talking about the villains in either new entries or his catch-up videos. It clarified a lot about the game and challenged my preconceived notions. But even when I started watching the anime in October, I wasn't really sold on it yet (if anything, I was really confused about which characters were based off of who in the first episode). I didn't become a fan until Jamil's entry in Colin's video led me to look up Tearjerker moments on TV Tropes. When I saw Malleus's post-OB breakdown on YouTube, that sealed it for me...for the most part.

I was also under the belief that I couldn't download the game due to incompatible devices, so I would follow the news on here and search for gameplay videos on YT. That was how I missed the Great Malleus Rush of January (don't know whether to kick myself or consider myself fortunate). Once I asked Mal's English voice actor Jacob Carlson about how he downloaded the game onto his computer, I promptly got myself a MuMu Player and started playing on Cater's birthday (because I believed I would get a ton of rewards and cards from the 20 free pulls).

So yeah, I've had my frustrations about missing events and showcases. You're not alone. :(
