Yeah like charge $90 for season passes with no worthwhile content, or launch the game with no lobbies, or backtrack on every creative decision proposed, or have one true new DLC character and stage (not even) in its first year, or leasing hair colors to your fans, or turning a series that thrived off it’s coolness and beauty into a generic gacha anime dress up game, or removing tag mode, or shitting on whatever artistic ambition DOA5 had, or removing mechanics to where even your top players drop out, or failing at any marketing opportunity imaginable, or being lucky jump force was a thing so it wouldn’t take most embarrassing fighter of 2019.
I suppose if a new publisher did all that I’d have to reconsider
Though sure a new company could order for Ayane and Kasumi to be hookers or remove every male on the roster, which actually would be fine with a certain crowd. But I’m assuming if another publisher truly wanted the DOA brand they’d look to make at least a better game than Tekken or Soulcalibur given its the competition. I’d actually be interested. Would you rather see a possible different take on the game that actually wants to be something, might have a good chance of grabbing attention, and likely won’t murder your wallet over some outfits or a shadow of what once was that is surviving off its titty spinoff and relies on thousands to costumes to survive? And I shouldn’t blame TN too hard on all of it, DOA is their child after all, but I couldn’t imagine a scenario where TN would migrate to a new publisher.
