Dead or Alive 6 was just released.
They were trying to minimize boobage and break into the e-sports scene. When doing a stream to promote the game for EVO, the biggest fighting game tournament, they thought it wise to have two female entertainers jiggle their boobs on stage, and pause the game when two characters in the game were in a risque position, laughing all the while.
The executives at EVO found that DOA6 did not represent its core values, and thus made an announcement, nixing DOA from their tournament. DOA6's player base went from small to nearly non-existent after a mere month of it being out, rendering the game Dead On Arrival.
I will also add that Tecmo tried to sell DLC for DOA6 at the very humble price of 90$. So after you buy the 50-60 dollar game or whatever, they asked for 90 more for some costumes. Otherwise you can't get any of the costumes that you want in the game because they unlock through RNG. What a lovely way of rewarding those long-time fans that just shelled out 60 dollars. lol
NWS:
In contrast ripping someone in half and popping out their eyeballs does represent EVO's core values, and Mortal Kombat 11 will be featured at the tournament.
