Tekken 8's devs have confirmed the arrival of a "Tekken Shop" that will contain in-game purchases, leaving players divided.

I guess this is probably going to be the new shitty norm with bait and switch for reviews then nickel and dime afterwards.

    Wait until the reviews are out so people can‘t be warned, and the product can’t be dunked on and then…

      Exactly. If they’d announced this before launch, it would’ve been the only thing anyone talked about. There would have been a huge backlash and I’m sure a good percentage of the community would’ve dumped the series there and then.

      This is doubly scummy. Glad I didn’t buy it yet.

        Not really. It’d hardly have been mentioned, at all. MTX are a part of every major fighting game, so it’s hardly a newsworthy tidbit. They’re completely expected in this genre. Any major competitive game that gets developer support after release is going to be funded either by microtransactions or subscriptions. The people who actually play these games know this.
