I guess this is probably going to be the new shitty norm with bait and switch for reviews then nickel and dime afterwards.

Fuck me publishers love consumers like you.

I'm not sure why any of this is a hot take. I get the feeling that most of the people in this thread aren't even Tekken players, or fighting game players at all.

These games only work with continued funding. If that's not for you, then that's totally fine and understandable. But these games require labor, and labor requires payment. And the community is willing and eager to pay.

You wouldn't work for free would you? Why should anybody expect software developers to?

Because the game isn't free but the microtransactions are exceptionally high still are new characters going to be free since they are selling cosmetics? No, they aren't so really, who's winning here? I'm glad Project L is going to dethrone every single one of these games.

Yeah, Riot would never add MTX to their games, right?

The game is free, they can do that.
