Tekken 8 players divided as devs add “Tekken Shop” with microtransactions - Dexerto

Tekken 8's devs have confirmed the arrival of a "Tekken Shop" that will contain in-game purchases, leaving players divided.

I guess this is probably going to be the new shitty norm with bait and switch for reviews then nickel and dime afterwards.

    Adding micro transactions after release is bullshit. There should be rules where it needs to be in from release or not.

      Right. Some people wouldn’t bother with a game at all if they knew there would be this. It’s very deceptive.

      Wait until the reviews are out so people can‘t be warned, and the product can’t be dunked on and then…

      TF2?

        TF2 was a better experience before it went free-to-play. I want a barrier that keeps the hordes of clueless children out.

          TF2 before F2P was one of, if not the, best multiplayer games. It just wasn’t the same after that and good community servers died out.

      If they place something behind MTs, then I completely agree. But, if they want to add more cosmetics that don’t exist yet, and they finance it MTs, and at a fair price, it’s less unethical.

      Announcing it after reviews… Hm. Sketchy at best.
