It’s still highly disrespectful. I couldn’t consintrate on my work because of it, and they made THAT as their announcement? Idk the fact that they wanted to put DOA to the side wasn’t the part that annoyed me, as it was them hyping it up knowing people would tune in just to announce something that is far from good.
I was expecting something shitty like merch/apparel at worse, not for them to say “Thank You for supporting out game, but for no actual reason we’ll put it away”. Like of that wasn’t a huge middle finger, idk what was. Should’ve just silently put it away instead of officially announcing it, or at least just said so on the spot instead of making an announcement for an announcement days before.
And using a deceased player just to push that was beyond worse. RIP him btw.

Really surprised after the success of doa5 that as the dlc support ends and the final big tournament happens they just make an announcement saying thanks and you might not see us for awhile. Also surprised in general that they haven't been working on doa6 this entire time in the background while supporting doa5... So it's going to possibly be a long time now before he hear anything of a new doa game...
And yeah In the end they really should have just said on FB that "we plan on saying a good bye message at the end" rather than an announcement is happening.

And the worse part was they knew there was still more to go with in the story (Phase 4’s existence, Rig position in MIST, what’s going on with Marie Rose/Honoka, how and why Cyber Raidou is a thing, What happened to Lisa, and more), so to end a series right after it got revived with cliffhangers is kinda messed up.
I’d rather they’d silently go on hiatus for another 7 years then to make an announcement over DOA taking a break. Or at least say why you’d put it to the side as oppose to using a bunch of fake tears about how you may not see your games fans.

They just fucked us over, it's 2 AM I stayed up till 2 AM just hear a thank you, the tournament made me wanna play doa again but this so called announcement took all that hype away and filled it with utter disappointment and anger.
DOA is officially put in the same bracket as NG4 it won't happen for a long time.

Looks like Team Ninja are gonna be the "guys that help Warriors games and 3rd party titles" for a while with no Ninja Gaiden or DOA in the horizon.
Nioh seems like a one hit wonder for now too, but hey we still have Dissidia NT for another 2-3 years so that's something.

Lets be honest here unless your pulling Injustice, Mortal Kombat, Smash bros numbers then the fighting game genre simply isn't profitable. Tekken gets by from its huge arcade presence and popularity and still sells really well on consoles, hell SFV needed Sony to fund a majority of it to even exist and is still the most popular series of the FGC. DOA has always been on the low end sales-wise which is why it went F2P in the first place, they made profit on DLC but they weren't expanding their playerbase at all and has little to no tournament presence compared to its competition. In the end KT decided to cut their losses and most likely shelving the series and focus on other properties

Those tears weren’t fake
I just watched the archived stream (got back from work). All I have to say is...wow. That's definitely a low blow.

Yall have no one but yourselves to blame. All those Lisa is dead jokes and not returning for DOA6 when it turns out DOA6 itself is dead.

Lisa survived climbed through the rubble and then bitch slapped Kasumi, Ayane, Ryu and the other one for leaving her down there then went off to get a cocktail on freedom survivors lounge. THIS is what happened 100%
In all seriousness though even If they are apparently working on a new fighting IP?! I am okay with that, So long as they don't end DOA and continue to make DOA games. I just don't want them to push doa to the side and just do this new IP. So I just hope DOA will be gone for a while but isn't ended and will come back eventually.
If KT wasn't making huge money off DOA5's DLC, they wouldn't have done it for so long when they were clearly scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas. I get there's an initial surge of cost involved in creating/releasing the base game, but there's still plenty of money to be made from the DOA franchise.
