Tekken 8's monetisation model has been landing Bandai Namco in hot water for a good chunk of this year. Sneaky cash shop introductions first drew fan ire back in February, with the more recent criticism coming as a result of the newest stage, Genmaji Temple, not being included with the game's season pass.
Instead, players were asked to cough up an additional $5 on top of the $40 Deluxe Edition Upgrade pack which includes the "Playable Character Year 1 Pass". Note that you can't actually buy this separately, only each character individually once the Deluxe Edition-specific 72-hour early access runs out.
