But honestly, you are into the DOA franchise and are angry about the existence of bunny costumes? Really?
I am angry about the existence of bunny costumes in the face of everything wrong with the game that I have no guarantee they're even working on or paying attention to. And angry that it might be a harbinger of everything becoming a rehash of DOA5 where most of the stuff we got was just OOC fetish wear. I would rather have items that make the characters stand out. Before DOA5, they only gave Tina that kind of outfit because it fit her schtick specifically. But now, it's just dress your favorite waifu as a maid/nurse/etc. I find that tacky. I want stuff that looks like they put some thought into it. Hell, even the swimsuits are more generic than before.
I am sure TN is trying to earn money, not to make the (fighting game) world a better place per se. If they cater to a niche and make their cut, they may be better off than by trying to imitate some mainstream competitor. That's why I disagree with your last sentence. TN will follow the money, just to continue to exist and be able to pay salaries. So the question of buying or not will (dis-)solve everything... Your argument should be whether a different kind of paid DLC will produce more money or less (this may differ in the short and the long run). If you only want to look down on the people that buy the "wrong" DLC, that's neither nice nor helpful.
I'm not playing that game anymore (pun not intended). It's all well and good if they want to make money. But, it doesn't do
us any good if they're not going to use the money to make the game better. If they made all of this money with the DOA5 DLC, why was DOA6 so poorly funded and rushed to the point that they couldn't even have lobbies at launch despite a delay, or even text chat until a month after that? Or that they had to apparently cut 30 story mode scenes? Or they couldn't even spring for that extra lone man-hour to check to make sure that the textures on Hayate's hood were correct? And they're still not correct now. Plus a host of other issues. Where did that money go? The tournament prizes?
And if it's the case that they barely scraped by last time even given the season passes and stuff, why are we just getting a repeat of what didn't turn out so well?
As for being nice or helpful, what do you want me to say? In the end, there are people whose interests are opposed to mine. I'm not going to be vile, but I'm not cheering them on. I don't think that
TN's current course has shown itself to be helpful. It's certainly not
good publicity to be reselling stuff from the previous game. I just don't think this stuff should be bought in general. Not by me. Not by anybody. I think it's rewarding bad behavior at this point.
And it
is rough because I don't want the series to die and I do want to support DOA overall, but...
