  • The poll was improperly conducted and way too short for users to adequately find in time. This announcement is the first I’m hearing about this discussion or poll at all.

    I think this might be jumping the gun. Also, it’s poor form, imo, to change the focus of a community after it’s been established. It would make more sense to create /c/lemmyfossapps or something similar. Taking a broadly-focused community and narrowing it down after people have already joined feels wrong.

    Those are my two cents, since I never got a chance to respond to the poll, which allegedly already had a pretty narrow margin.








  • 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?


  • If they’d announced this before launch, it would’ve been the only thing anyone talked about.

    Not really. It’d hardly have been mentioned, at all. MTX are a part of every major fighting game, so it’s hardly a newsworthy tidbit. They’re completely expected in this genre. Any major competitive game that gets developer support after release is going to be funded either by microtransactions or subscriptions. The people who actually play these games know this.



  • Doesn’t it, though? This is what the players wanted, and the industry listened. They asked for support for the game after its release, and the industry said “Sure, but in exchange at least some of you should pay extra”.

    This isn’t forced upon anybody. Just because Mazaratis exist doesn’t mean that you have to buy one if you want a car. It only becomes a moral problem if somebody’s choices are circumvented, but that’s not really what’s happening here.
