The original version of Dead or Alive 6 was delisted in favor of a rerelease that's currently at 70% negative reviews on Steam: 'Tecmo just sees this as the coomer franchise'

Honoka leans forward suggestively in a screenshot from the Dead or Alive 6 Last Round store page.

Back when the GTA Trilogy trainwreck happened, Dominic Tarason wrote a piece for us making the case that old games shouldn't be delisted when they're rereleased. It hasn't stopped happening, of course, and most recently Dead or Alive 6 was removed from sale in favor of Dead or Alive 6 Last Round, a rerelease so underwhelming it's currently got a 70% negative user rating on Steam. For comparison, the original version is currently 70% positive, and that's after players started giving it negative reviews as well in protest.

Forefront among the complaints is the fact the DLC is even more expensive in the rerelease, and while transferring a save from the old version will unlock most of the characters and costumes you'd already paid for, crossover SNK characters Mai and Kula aren't included and have to be paid for again.
