Yes but don’t you get it, the nerds want constant influxes of free new content - damn paying for things!
Comment on Tekken 8 players divided as devs add “Tekken Shop” with microtransactions

I don't get it, it's just gonna be skins, right? Pretty much every fighting game has paid skins these days, that's what funds continued development for balancing and new content.
Unless there's something really egregious being offered for sale, I don't see the issue. Cosmetics are one of the few MTX I'm okay with, for the most part.

It’s that they added it after release without previous notice.

I'm not seeing why that's a problem, if it's still just cosmetics.
Also, anybody who expected a AAA fighting game to not have cosmetic MTX in 2024 probably isn't that keen on the fighting game scene to begin with. That's just how the genre works these days; the players want continuous balance patches as new tech and exploits are discovered, and that comes at a cost. If you think $70 is enough for potentially years of continued support and updates, then you haven't been keeping up with the economy's effects on the gaming industry.

Fuck me publishers love consumers like you.

I'm not sure why any of this is a hot take. I get the feeling that most of the people in this thread aren't even Tekken players, or fighting game players at all.
These games only work with continued funding. If that's not for you, then that's totally fine and understandable. But these games require labor, and labor requires payment. You wouldn't work for free would you? Why should anybody expect software developers to?
