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

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.
Knowing they were charging for new characters was almost a dealbreaker for me. This would have stopped me if I had known.
Paying extra for characters IS a deal breaker for me in fighting games. It’s literally pay to win.
That said, I’ve been playing Tekken since ps1, so I’ll probably just pirate this whenever it’s available.
Wait until the reviews are out so people can‘t be warned, and the product can’t be dunked on and then…
Exactly. If they’d announced this before launch, it would’ve been the only thing anyone talked about. There would have been a huge backlash and I’m sure a good percentage of the community would’ve dumped the series there and then.
This is doubly scummy. Glad I didn’t buy it yet.
If they place something behind MTs, then I completely agree. But, if they want to add more cosmetics that don’t exist yet, and they finance it MTs, and at a fair price, it’s less unethical.
Announcing it after reviews… Hm. Sketchy at best.
If you tried the customisation, it feels extremely bare bones in comparison to Tekken 7. So I wouldn’t be surprised if stuff was removed to add to the Store.
TF2?
but tbf that basically invented the lootbox which then made TF2 free to play
At least they made it free to play. These games are still charging full price plus microtransactions
TF2 was a better experience before it went free-to-play. I want a barrier that keeps the hordes of clueless children out.
TF2 before F2P was one of, if not the, best multiplayer games. It just wasn’t the same after that and good community servers died out.
Adding shit to a game with a patch, post purchase, doesn’t require you to partake. While I hate MTX as much as anyone, you aren’t required to buy anything. Sure, this is enshittification, but you can avoid that buy buying games that aren’t “always online”.
