DMM games is a storefront for Japanese gachas and eroge.
As of this morning, the website and the game player are no longer accessible if your IP is not a Japanese one. I ran into this myself and checked other forums for confirmation.
Although it can be circumvented with a VPN or if the game has a mobile app, this just shows the push of the Japanese storefronts towards isolating themselves from westerners and all the issues they bring.
Game player has been wall gardened for a really long time now in my experience. As in months to year or more.
For those who don't have a dedicated VPN, something like TunnelBear to run a game's launcher initially has generally sufficed to continue playing (but it might vary game to game).
