There are hundreds of game companies that deal with combinations of these same issues, yet some of them are fully capable of producing quality content for a good value.
So you noticed the difference between "hundreds" and "some" yourself? Obviously, failing somewhere seems to be the norm, not the exception, as supported by your own observation. I have bought and played many games in my life, but nearly all of them have some shortcomings and bad issues, being far from perfect.
Mortal Kombat 11 cost the same as DOA6 on release, we pay the exact same amount of money for a fighting game and get far less and we're supposed to just be chill with it?
Of course, the high budget games (like MK XI) come with a better value for money, because they plan to recover their (much higher) cost with many more sales. You will find those games aiming to be quality leader in nearly every genre: GTA, CoD, Uncharted ... etc. It's a gamble that can pay off but can ruin a company as well. IMHO if you really start to make those stretched maximization efforts your starting benchmark, you will have a hard time enjoyying (or buying) anything other than the big budget stuff.
There are dozens of wonderful games out there. I don’t have to put up with a developer and publisher who doesn’t respect its players.
I can't follow. Despite all of its shortcomings and shaky way to handle things, I still love DOA 6 and that's the game I play most of the time. I do not need the feeling to be respected by any producer to enjoy a product. Do you need to know that a musician loves his fanbase before you are able to like his music, really?
...maybe just maybe some people still enjoy the game regardless of its current flaws. It's fine to hate this game but what I dont get is why the constant bitching here?
You're my man. Totally agreed.
...the feature can be used as an excuse and a scapegoat trick to use against TN from the damn dweebs that go "TN caters to the SJWs and censors the game!"
For me this cheaply made censoring option is irrelevant (as long as I do not need to see it in tournament streams at least). But here's my take: Just like I thought the Evo Japan incident was funny ("promise, we are no longer doing the sexualisation, but oops it happened again nonetheless, I'm so sorry"), somehow I think this is kind of a prank, like TN said this time: "you don't want sexualisation, so we catered for you, but -uh-oh- look how ugly the game looks if censored - dare to censor at your own risk. We can do the good-looking thing only with sexualisation. But if you don't want to see the pretty things: Live in your ugly hell".
Anyway, I do not need to be a fanboy of a company to enjoy a game. I like DOA 6 (and 5LR) very much, even if the game has several issues and I disagree with some developments and decisions. It is nonetheless the FG of my choice and in my view still the one-eyed among the blind (true it helps that MK's explicit brutality makes me puke - I detest that gore-spitting extravaganza).
