Iron Fist is big. old. Popular, which means there are plenty of rabid fans who see Tekken and the upcoming Tekken 8 as the most important thing on the planet, and react accordingly to news about their favorite game series. Recently, some insider Tekken fans threatened producer Katsuhiro Harada, which he called “bullshit” in a recent tweet, before detailing how this ridiculous behavior hurts the fighting game world as a whole.
“I and everyone at FGC suffer the following loss when people make these stupid threats (see attached picture).
—
(1) Event operators overreact, increase safety, increase operating costs, and increase the burden on players participating in the event. In the worst case scenario, the event management will ask me to cancel my participation in the event.
(2) Company founders, board members, and lawyers “don’t like to be intimidated” so they asked me to unjoin the game even if, for example, the threatened spec or character “should have been included in the game”.
(3) If the people issuing these threats use “we” instead of “I” to represent fans, the likelihood of the above two disadvantages occurring increases (many of them don’t understand this. I don’t take those who are expressing Opinion is the opinion of people who use “we”. It’s up to the development team to decide if the opinion is majority or minority, and the person expressing the opinion says “everyone around me says that! (Maximum 5-6 people around me)” doesn’t matter) .
Do you think Mr. Harada is right?
