Comment on Tekken 8 players divided as devs add “Tekken Shop” with microtransactions

This is doubly scummy. Glad I didn’t buy it yet.

Not really. It'd hardly have been mentioned, at all. MTX are a part of every major fighting game, so it's hardly a newsworthy tidbit. They're completely expected in this genre. Any major competitive game that gets developer support after release is going to be funded either by microtransactions or subscriptions. The people who actually play these games know this.
