Yet another example of capitalism overriding reason. The fastest way to kill a franchise is to design the next game in that franchise explicitly for e-sports, as opposed to designing it for the actual player base who spend money to buy it...

---- Season 2 Update ----

Oops, after having years to work on this before announcing it, and another year after announcing it, and then another year and 3 months after releasing it, Bandai Namco decided to continue to turn Tekken into a generic anime fighter where there is no real interaction between the players, you simply mash as hard as possible and someone wins.

This is in spite of the vast majority of players collectively agreeing that this was a bad idea and will kill the game, for at least 2 years now.

The only way they will "listen" is if we hit them the only place where it actually hurts: their profit margins. Do not buy microtransactions. Do not buy DLC. Do not buy this complete dumpster fire.
