Harada, the game's director, said "I'd rather quit than have characters as DLC." He simply lied.

Bamco SOLD frame data in Tekken 7. The most important aspect of gameplay was sold as paid DLC. Frame data had to be looked up online outside of official sources before then. Here are the lies Harada told regarding frame data. http://www.avoidingthepuddle.com/news/2014/2/4/harada-on-revealing-frame-data-in-tekken-games.html

Remember when the Leroy nerfs were leaked? The nerfs had a date on them which was before the character's release. They knew he was OP; They intentionally released him like such to sell more DLC.

But no worries, in this game you'll get a legacy character as DLC. (Eddy)

Weeks after releasing the 70$, full-priced game, they announced that there will be a Tekken shop where you can buy cosmetics and customizations (which are heavily redacted/lacking in this game) with real money. They probably did this to avoid bad reviews on release day though I have no source on that.

They claimed "Our micro-transactions won't be predatory". Take a wild guess on what actually happened. Yep; the shop released today and the micro-transactions are using the well-known predatory business practices to sell more.

But of course, they can't be bothered to award a loss directly to the pluggers. Or they simply don't care enough to fix it. Plugging will currently have 0 effect on the plugger on ranked.

This company keeps lying. Harada is lying and building a cult of personality around him and the players are buying it. This is exactly what serves the Tekken community right. The community is getting EXACTLY what it deserves after buying the paid frame data.

Pirate the DLC instead of paying. Just use an unlocker instead of paying for the season pass.

Simply put, ♥♥♥♥ Bamco. One of the scammiest companies in existence.

Harada always spews BS most of the time he always speaks so I'm not surprised by this. -_-
