Tekken 8 Chief Harada Hits Out at ‘Silly’ Threats of Violence Over Eddy Gordo<\/div>"},"content":{"rendered":"

Tekken 8 development chief Katsuhiro Harada has hit out at a threat of violence over whether or not a character will be in the game.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Harada tweeted a response to the threat from a Twitter user demanding Tekken character Eddy Gordo is playable in the upcoming Tekken 8.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people make these silly threats, I and everyone at FGC [fighting game community] suffer the following losses,\u201d Harada began before making three key points (below).<\/p>\n

One, event operators overreact and increase security, which increases costs and the burden on players. Harada said in some cases his attendance at events may end up being cancelled.<\/p>\n

Two, company bosses respond to these sorts of threats by asking Harada to cancel \u201cinclusion in the game\u201d, which relates to the inclusion of certain characters in Tekken, such as Eddy.<\/p>\n

And three, if the person making the threat uses the word \u201cwe\u201d instead of \u201cI\u201d, the probability of the first two points becoming a reality increases.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy enthusiasts behaving excessively, repeating these words and actions, or fake information and hoaxes, or threats, the motivation of the development staff will decrease rapidly, and as a result, the requests of enthusiasts will be far from being realised,\u201d Harada said.<\/p>\n
