They give Honoka and Marie 2 costumes. Their bias for these 2 is out of control...
(found it in the meme thread)
As for me, controller firmly in hand and wallet firmly remaining in pocket (as if I had a choice anyways, though).
Just waiting for a pic or video of brunette Tina's return in DoA6 now.

Really? This is ridiculous.

Personally just glad I’m not one of the people who care about the hair colors, 95% of them look horrible anyway. With as dumb as this business practice is I’m sure they’ll change it in some way, if not people are going to bug them for weeks. Wish more fans boycotted the season passes the same way but I digress.
Tamaki looking good or not may determine my support for DOA6 (the small bit of optimism I have left) so I’ll look out for that.

I just want the deets on those bug fixes.
So how are the incorrigible DOA6 apologists going to defend this?
For everyone who still doesn't get it, this is what is happening right now:
The DOA series experienced a big exodus of fans and players from DOA5 to DOA6. (We went over why that happened a million times, so I'm not gonna go over that again.)
Instead of trying to fix what is wrong with DOA6 and to get those old fans and players back, because that would cost Koei Tecmo time, money, effort and good will, they are going all in with the monetization of the game to at least milk the last drop out of the remaining fans. They are pumping the well dry as fast as they can, because they know it's not sustainable like that and it will go dry at one point. They are banking on "whales" that they know will buy any kind of DLC, even if it the most overpriced, the most lazy or outright recycled stuff from DOA5. At one point basically only the whales will be left, but they might still be enough to make KT a good profit. KT will have the forecast and numbers on that, I don't know.
For that reason we are only seeing female characters and why the next female character comes outright from DOAXVV, a free to play gacha game. They know the remaining fans, many of them the aforementioned whales, will absolutely love that, because they are already into that heavily monetized waifu simulation gacha life. And this is what the DOA fighting game series is turning into, and while this makes some of you very happy, many of us other old fans can just look in horror at it from the sidelines.

Man, you know you fucked up when even the biggest DOA defenders and shills are chewing you out lmao. Also, after seeing this new update Rikuto is literally completely done with DOA, he cancelled his Tamaki release stream too lol
When they're pissing off both gameplay/tournament players and fans of other content alike, who's left? Hopefully the backlash is felt by KT this time and they know they've finally hit a wall with this crap.
If my post above was TLDR:
The whales will be left and by KT's calculation they might actually still bring in a good enough profit even if most other fans left.
From Google's definition of a whale:
"Many developers only need to have a few whales play their game to be quite successful."
I can't imagine even idolmaster-like fans who have money to throw away on any DLC they can lay their eyes on would be happy with this, tbh. I was working during DoA5's days and had the money to buy almost all the DLC, but if I was in that position now I still wouldn't be paying for regurgitated DLC and rent-a-hair-colour like this. You can argue DoA is being turned into a gatcha game, but I've seen gatcha games have better practices than this. I've played ftp games where you can at least grind to get most of the payed DLC if you don't want to pay. Grinding for DLC would be a much better idea for DoA and KT in the long run, as it would guarentee more satisfied players that keep returning, but they don't seem to be smart enough to understand that.

It's just because they reused the costumes from last game. lol
I don't know. I feel like they had to have known that this wouldn't be taken that well. This goes for a number of things with the game. And yet...here we are.
