After Tekken 8 players criticized the game's post-launch microtransaction plans, the series' creative director has explained why modern games are in dire need of new funds if they're to be supported after launch.
The whole situation stretches back just over a week, when Tekken 8's developers announced the Tekken Shop, an in-game store offering new DLC costumes and outfits, which would only take microtransaction currencies as payment. The announcement of the Tekken Shop was made in a livestream roughly one month after the launch of the fighting game, and the feature is debuting in-game later today on February 28.
