I very recently bought Metro Redux so I could play through 2033 and Last Light again right before Exodus comes out (have the original version of both games on Steam but my gaming PC is deceased). Redux is still listed at 29.99 USD on the PSN and used physical copies sell for 20-30 bucks. So instead of that, I noticed copies of Fallout 4 on eBay getting listed at 5 USD with shipping going unsold. Now that's the game that it's time to start giving away. And hey maybe Bethesda will recoup some of it's '76 losses by throwing in a sale on the DLC. West Virginia resident here and even I'm not touching '76.
I'm not asking you to add every character you've ever made Mr. Harada. Making the game accessible? What does that even mean? I have never encountered a fighting game that was disliked for having too big of a roster. I've just never seen it. No one has ever said, you know I like those King of Fighters games but over 50 characters is just too much to deal with, I don't find that very accessible. I'm just not able to access it. Maybe instead of coming up with new justifications for underachieving, maybe give loyal fans what they want instead of trying to win over people who have never given you a dime and who weren't even born yet when some of us were loyal fans and already giving you that money which seems to be all that you are concerned with. 1995. That was 22 years ago. I spent 22 years as a fan of Lei Wu Long and you just spat in my face and said that I didn't matter. I don't represent a large enough percentage of your customer base. You looked at a spreadsheet that quantified professional tournament data and said not enough people play as Lei for us to do the work to keep him around. You didn't stop to think that those numbers on that spreadsheet represented actual human beings with feelings and for whom Tekken games have held meaning over the years and you just snubbed us and repaid our loyalty with cruelty and dismissiveness. I bought consoles to play your games. I literally bought a PS One for Tekken. Your old PSX fighting stick that was grey with the yellow buttons and the Namco label in the corner, that was the only additional controller I ever owned for the system. The Sony handheld systems, always sticking with Sony's option of consoles, it was always due at least in part to my love for Tekken, and more specifically my love for Lei and my ability to perform well with my best character not just in Tekken but out of all fighting games. I was giving money to Sony not you. And I'm just one customer with finite resources. I can only buy so many copies of your games. I just wish that Tekken was the property of a better company, who values its fans and doesn't reduce them to graphical data, who treats fans as people and rewards them for their loyalty, instead of punishing them and mistreated them, taking them for granted and dropping them flat on their face after two decades.
