Well, in all fairness, it only released on XBox systems and a game like that honestly probably never stood a chance on there in the first place. Truthfully, 245k is an accomplishment due to the unfortunate circumstances.
You came into this thread comparing people to the leader of ISIS. Stop pretending like you want to have a "discussion".

Do you mind linking us to those Koei-Tecmo statements?
What the fuck does that have to do with anything?

You think the systematic online harassment against anyone criticizing the status quo is a joke?

Well duh, when you force-categorize a spectrum of nuanced opinions into two extreme sides of black and white of your own making, of course you could claim them stupid.
I mean, there wasn't even any "side" there; Play-Asia was railing against something that doesn't exist.

Not sure why people keep mentioning DOAX2. It may as well have released a century ago, times have changed so drastically since then. Also, it was easily the worst, most rushed Itagaki Team Ninja game, with little promotion. Seems released out of contractual obligation, if anything.
If anything, X3 could make them ludicrously rich, if they did it right. (not releasing it in the West is not doing it right.)

There's no "both sides for this". Their shitty game was being ignored completely, so they told a lie to get people to backlash against an imaginary hypothethical backlash, then play asia was even less subtle in telling simple lies to separate naive fools from their money.
The sides are these:
Companies pandering to people who hate SJWs.
Naive people who think these companies are victims and/or freedom fighter.
People who is calling bullshit on all of this and backlashing against the lie that started the backlash against the non existed backlash.
Conclusion: people still are ignoring the shitty game, but some fool thinks that buying it makes him a defender of free speech against the horrors of fascist tumblr.

I said they come out as equally progressive. I never said they shared all his qualities. I would need to meet him and the rest of them in person to be sure, and trust me, the thought itself bores me to death.
Gee I wonder why KT doesn't want to release this game in the west and deal with backlash on social media.
That's true. Can somebody post a pic of that japanese guy selling 360s?

Of course not, that would be absurd
Ah ok, got ya. I really don't follow that GG stuff anyways.
I'm fooked...
Though, when I was a wee young lad an old primary school teacher used to make me sit on my left hand to make me write with my right.. she didn't check to see if I only had one ball though.
There's absolutely no way they'd ever get "ludicrously rich" from a volleyball game no matter how much the butts jiggle or how much they market it.
That actually reminds me that if I was someone who was interested in this game (which is perfectly fine obviously), I would be concerned that PlayAsia and the Gamergate people are co-opting the game and turning it into a hill to die on in the name of their ideology. As a consumer, I wouldn't want to be associated with bigots like Breitbart, GG, and all the rest of the reactionary conservatives we see.
I can't believe this is from a business.
Oh God the conspiracy. Play-Asia isn't in some GG conspiracy. They literally only posted a tweet making fun of western social media. That's literally it. This is turning into some unhealthy paranoia.

At this point, I believe this is just a big publicity stunt by Koei-Tecmo. Much like Hatred or "Your mom hates Dead Space 2"
This type of game has its audience. Senran Kagura got backlash, but they're still releasing the games over here.
It's like Koei-Tecmo has read the internet, and is gauging "interest" for potential sales. Especially since this series isn't a major seller.
Play-Asia's meltdown is hilarious to watch. *munches popcorn*

I've seen more and more people who have nothing to do with Gamergate use SJW as a term, including progressives and feminists wanting to distance themselves from the "tumblr crazies". I don't think it's fair to make the jump to 'appealing to Gamergate' at this point, although that seems to be what ended up happening in the end.
I think it is super shitty for a company to imply they cafe about a tragedy brought on through hate while at the same time fanning the flames of a hate group for profit? I think it just shows how corparations will act like they care about something but only on a surface level and mostly for marketing.
Drama? Me? Nah. I want my titty game too.
Where am I turning it into a conspiracy? I am talking about being associated with the ideology that is being relied on and reproduced here.

They're clearly pandering a particular narrative that is popular with a particular group. If you fail to see that then it's not others being paranoid as much as you being intentionally blind.
They aren't associated with any ideology. They just made fun of social media. That's it. It's not some declaration of war.
Well it is to me.
It's like watching two toddlers fight over who has the strongest dad.
We all know Diana down the street had the strongest dad.
I meant the situation in general
probably to late now but check the Gematsu post about its Asian only release. Some yelling bigots other yelling sjw some talking about how pickled plums are good for your health. I personally found the pickled plum post more relevant in a game post than most of the people there contending on who can sink the lowest.
PS. WTF does ISIL have to do with what now? Don't go total idiot ffs.

Capcom changed R. Mika's taunt and Cammy's camera angle for her introduction for a reason in SF5. I don't particularly mind the camera angle even if it does;t look as epic, but changing a butt slap seemed quite preposterous to me. Wasn't one of the Fatal Frame outfits on the Wii U modified or censored? How about Xenoblade Chronicles changing the female outfits? No more breast size slider/modifier also? Why? Wasn't Smash Bros also censored or changed as well? Something is going on. Are they afraid to potentially offend Westerners or something? Why would DOAX3 be any different, especially considering DOA5 was/is always criticized for it's sexual content despite being am excellent fighter imho? Scantily clad females combined with quirky, niche volley ball game? I still think it could be tough sell in the West, but you never know.

Oh wow, this whole thing is really funny.
Oh goodness.
Like I can imagine an account like Sonic The Hedgehog tweeting the way they do because they're engaging their audience with a unique sense of humour, but stuff like this is... It's like watching some teenager in an argument dig a hole deeper and deeper.
Play Asia is celebrating having 12k Twitter followers. While I'm sure their personal sales are up, they aren't going to be making a big difference to the sales of the game. Their prices will put off most of the lookie loos (and the game probably being shitty a good deal more).
This is a site after all with a game called Moe Chronicles in their best seller list.

Not only are they relying on a specific narrative, but they're also retweeting racists and posting Breitbart articles, I'm not sure how clearer this can be.
Okay, but recognizing and pandering to a hate movement that results in direct harm to people's well-being is not something that most people would fine funny or entertaining.

Well said. People are simply easily led and influenced. What is a major deal today is inconsequential tomorrow. Just have to learn to ride the waves.
I think the warrior part came from because thats how people envisoned the people see themselves, radicals don't call themselves radicals after all. Kinda like calling someone a "white knight" in a negative way.

Doubt that, this situation will probably make them feel worse. Since it's now something removed from the sale and they have to import. Feeling like some pervert subverting the roadblocks the system put in place.
This post made me laugh legit. XD

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I was absolutely confused and had no idea why Skeletons had to do with any of this. Completely forgot about that plugin.
Seems like a perfect marketing move for both companies honestly and of course people are falling for it.

The DLC outfits are going to make them a fortune
