I guess this is probably going to be the new shitty norm with bait and switch for reviews then nickel and dime afterwards.
Just another lesson to wait months after a games release before even considering it.
Adding micro transactions after release is bullshit. There should be rules where it needs to be in from release or not.
Right. Some people wouldn’t bother with a game at all if they knew there would be this. It’s very deceptive.

Perhaps if this was unusual for the genre. But it’s a AAA fighting game. Anybody who is familiar with the genre knows that MTX is normal and expected, because it’s going to have several years of support from the developers. I’d have a hard time believing that any Tekken fan bought this on the premise of it remaining MTX-free.
Something being normalized doesn’t automatically make it morally okay.
Fuckers waited until the high praise reviews were in
I don’t get it, it’s just gonna be skins, right? Pretty much every fighting game has paid skins these days, that’s what funds continued development for balancing and new content.
Unless there’s something really egregious being offered for sale, I don’t see the issue. Cosmetics are one of the few MTX I’m okay with, for the most part.
Yes but don’t you get it, the nerds want constant influxes of free new content - they’re being “literally robbed” by paying $70 for 200+ hours of entertainment as it is!!
I mean let’s be real here. Tekken was originally based on 50¢ microtransactions
Divided? One must be pretty naive if they can’t see the move they are trying to pull here.
Can’t wait for f2p Project L to break into the genre and become the biggest and most popular fighting game.
I mean you’ve got people who are defending Bilzzard’s newest horse armor bullshit so yeah.
ETA: Yup, got quite a few Hardcore Gamers^TM in the thread defending this BS already with ‘it’s just cosmetics’, all fighting games do it, or won’t someone think of the devs, like like they think the developers are getting a cut off the money.
Just sad frogs sitting in the boiling water.
Yeah, you can find vocal people who will play the apologist for just about anything, it‘s baffling to the degree that I wonder if there‘s paid actors on social media in this sense
I’m a real, human, unpaid “apologist” for DLC like this presented in Tekken 8 - AMA
