The year is no stranger to controversies, no matter how well-regarded a game is, but the fighting game genre has faced exceptional backlash over the past many months. Whether it's Street Fighter 6's exorbitant outfit prices or Mortal Kombat 1's irritating monetization, fans are more fed up than ever.

So, when Bandai Namco announced a cash shop for Tekken 8, which saw exceptional acclaim after launching in January 2024, there was concern among the community. The development team promised it wouldn't be predatory like "modern stores" until it also announced a Battle Pass. As the shop went live, players finally saw the full extent of the microtransactions.

Here's what's going on with Tekken 8's monetization and why players aren't happy, especially with all the other problems the recent patch has introduced.

    BASICALLY: there's been more negative reviews on steam for tekken 8 lately because bamco are pumping out tons of shoddy cash shop cosmetics while recent game updates have added new bugs. also ppl don't like battle passes. devs are like "hey, games are expensive to make, it is what it is."
  • It is really sad how Tekken has changed from Free content, extra side story gameplay, FREE unlocks like characters and customization items to everything that was free in previous games are now locked by a paid wall
  • @tonware
    My thing is if you buy the ultimate edition, why doesn’t that automatically give you access to everything the game has to offer? It’s insulting to give the ultimate edition as an option only to still make people who bought that to have to pay more.

    Bamco: development is more expensive than it was years ago so we need something that gives us money to put more content into the game Also Bamco: the content is copypaste items from previous tekkens with bad quality. Literally same customization items that were free in previous tekkens. Tekken playerbase: we dont want to give you money for same bad quality items! We are angry! Bamco: surprised pikachu face

    I love that a video about Tekken 8 is exactly 8 minutes and 8 seconds.
  • Don't forget the competitive scene. They broke the game with the latest "patch" and pros ain't happy. Not the mention the balance issues. They flat out REFUSE to balance Azuzena and a few other characters. And they rather give us another broken character in Eddy. Pros are not happy with how its become Tekken Casino. Basically, nobody is happy with their purchase right now. And Bamco seems to wanna double down on the bs broken characters, pay to win and pay to customize. It's all one quick cash grab and fans aint happy.
  • All the while, good guy games like Rise of the Ronin, with no micro transactions go unappreciated.
  • @gohan7088
    One of my main issues with Tekken 8 is the fact that grabs have homing also heat shouldn't have armor because we have rage art for that also another thing is rank I want to he able to fight someone in my rank not someone who's like 5 ranks above me

    So glad that people are getting fed up with this crap
  • A true fan of Tekken here and I have play every single chapter since tekken 3, guess what? this tradition will end here, I felt already pretty crappy with tekken 7 and the season pass but somehow i could accept it as it will give me anyway tons of hours and fresh gameplay (totally not justificable the frame one) but here with t8? Oh boy.. Namco here is pushing away basically any previous customers, season pass, battle pass, pre-orders, premium coins, shop, mod support removal, unbalanced gameplay, cheaters, no penalty, bruh, are you serious? Well it was a pleasure until it lasted, goodbye..

    Over reaching greed is ruining games......
  • The fact people thought tekken getting more Mainstream would lead to a better game is hilarious. Enjoy your battle pass with no hehachi or reason to do anything other than heat 50 50s. The fact they tripled down on all the lame shit in tekken 7 was a big enough clue this game would suck
  • Companies already know that a game with hype can be exploited for micro transactions. That’s why I wait for the definitive edition! Months after release! You are likely to get all if not most of this little perks! Beside my back log is so long I can afford to wait. Phuck these companies and their corporate greed! My money will do the talking for me! And they are not getting it!

    For one thing, adding cosmetic shop with the borked currency conversion model most of us know after release and reviews gave glowing recommendations lead to skeptical players that are now not trusting the game but still somewhat willing to pay. But when quality starts taking a hit, the fundamental game has no practical means of fighting cheating or dealing with rage quitting(don't know why its called plugging) while suddenly attacking and copyright striking cosmetic Modders w/o warning is just the worst look. Then the latest patch borks the game, yeah.... We have problems now.
  • Seen this coming with my byakugan. You 2 million enjoy. Perhaps I'll join you in 2 to 3 years if a complete edition is released.
  • @CAM8689
    I don't play modern games much but it interesting to see how much its has changed esp for a series like tekken from beating the game with different characters to unlock everything of old to all the pay for play or access.......but as the game industry has ballooned into this behemoth and gotten so mainstream I find alot of it to be getting worse and worse as times goes on....greed truly rules.....I find much more enjoyment in older fighting games from playstation 1,2,3...even Dreamcast and Sega Saturn was just playing KOF and Capcom vs SNK2 and Im reminded that often times less is more.

    They forgot the majority of Tekken fans are Tekken elites that have played it for years - Bamco really thought they can treat them like Fortnite Kids
  • It’s sad, This game is better than Tekken 7. But the content on here has been pretty sparse. The customization options are lack luster. If Tekken keeps going this way. This will be the last time I get the game. Last time I bought a Streefighter game was Street Fighter x Tekken for the Vita.
