Honestly, I can understand why Shimbori is trying to butter up the gaming outlets, despite their careening reputation in the past few years because of how DOA has been practically slandered by them for a good decade and more.
The problem is that they should have never done that...and by that, I meant they should have went to gamers and told them that and let them know and say that we will prove it at EVO with their showcase.
They should have let the players be the judge and the reviewers rather than the "gaming journalists" because people are now going completely ass backwards in acting just like the people they want gone.
So it was more Team Ninja trying to change "game journalists" opinions so they won't get hit pieces...only to get the "fans" to act as if TN is betraying everyone for "E-Sports money"(even though Team Ninja jumped in on the E-Sports train with DOA5U... you don't need to go ESPN to do E-Sports.
