Doesn't like SJWs, but feels the need to listen to their supposed demands.

Play asia's prices are awful anyways.
Not sure how anyone thinks that using SJW unironically is a good idea.

they don't have the Asian versions tho. I would go AmiAmi if they did.
There were no protests to ban DOAX3 in the west. None. KT made a business decision and is trying to pass blame.
Also yeah, not buying from Play Asia anymore. Amiami is better anyway. Much better prices/shipping.
I was wondering if there were any better alternatives. Thanks!
Eh, I don't know if that's the case. I'm pretty sure there just isn't a huge market for:
1. The Dead or Alive series in the west at all anymore
2. Another DOA Beach Volleyball game
I guess people in the west can shit on it for being misogynistic, but it's not going to change anything in japan.
They line up around the block for hentai games for fucks sake. It's a different planet. Leave them alone and move on to more important things.

Wait wait something like a simple tweet like that can get people to stop shopping there but we couldn't rally against dlc,season passes,fallout 4(hehe).
This is true, I always use Play-Asia (and to be fair, I think they're pretty good) - but I recently bought some N3DS faceplates from Amiami and paying in JPY was much cheaper.

I saw people getting angry about this and I dunno I don't get the outrage I guess. Play-Asia has never done me wrong. This doesn't really have any impact on my opinion of them.

The very interesting thing is however, someone just asked the Koei-Tecmo Europe Community Manager their stance on the non-release, and he replies to go to Play-Asia and get it there instead.

I want sources on this BS. Where are the protests? Complaints? Articles about it? Rally campaign against it? No one gives a shit about DoA, let alone a spinoff volleyball game.

I'm not really sure what that has to do with anything. The game is going to be released in English in Asia.

That's one way to lose business.
I don't think they will lose business for saying that lol
I called the last OP out for misrepresenting their intentions of T-K by making it sound like they used feminism as a scapegoat to their business decision...
But oh my god Play-Asia.
I checked their twitter. This shit is the real deal. Holy god damn. I didn't think you could both throw feminism and YOUR OWN PROSPECTIVE AUDIENCE under the bus in a single tweet. That's such a master stroke of terribad that I'm not even mad. I'm actually quite impressed. Some gave T-K the benifit of the doubt that this business decision wouldn't be influenced by backlash so let's see how this plays out for Play-Asia.

Unforunately, these are the Japanese versions, and not the Asian versions, which come with English.
But yeah, if I can't find another Asian version preorder, this will be my last purchase from Play Asia.

I think this is one of those things where people are just going to talk again instead of action. Play-Asia will probably still get the bulk of import sales.

okay i just thought he misspelled shitbrain
Is the Japanese version going to have English text, too?

How unprofessional and immature do you have to be as a business to post nonsense like this? Unbelievable.
Well if they're the only one selling the asian version, yes yes they will.

No.
No one even really cares about the game or even talked about it besides super niche places and that one GAF thread.

Not a fan of the series and not terribly sad that it coming out here. That said, why are people angry at the tweets?
Do either of those have the Asia copies with the English subs on them. That's the main draw of P-A.
not confirmed, but I heard this was the case for DoA5 Last Round.
I don't think you're going to need a strong grasp of the Japanese Language to enjoy this game, honestly.
Didn't think so, I'll stick stick with the Asian version as planned then.

Yesasia is a bit of a crapshoot compared to Playasia though. (but ppl need more alternative to asian-release online shops)
They are are right:

It'd be fascinating if it wasn't so sad. I'd love to see the face of the person while he made that tweet.

Still not the same thing as an actual localization let alone an actual release overseas which is what people are complaining about for whatever reason. X3 was never going to sell well so they just made a business decision.
