Koei tecmo does this on a regular basis with odd niche titles (hell they just released DW8 empires on Vita today in the west (not that niche ... but the niche title i'm talking about was that dungeon trap game and its expansion)

I can't really bring my self to consider this one tweet that reads like it came from one dude overstepping his bounds as reflective of the entire company.
I'm a pretty tiny client, but I have bought from them a handful of times:
And I'll do it again if there's a good deal, but by default, I'll look at other stores first (because really, Play-Asia is pretty expensive too).

That's like somebody not coming to an important meeting because he's worried it would be hot, then me commenting "he's right. It is summer after all".
Even if it's true, the burden lies on that person for avoiding a meeting for the sake of staying comfortable instead of the fricking sun.
Because it shows that they're willing to fan flames and blame nonexistent boogeymen to drum up sales. It's tasteless. I'd rather support a company with a bit more tact.

People have been saying this since the first DOAX came out, and it still doesn't make any sense.

I really wish I didn't like bullshit fanservice games as much as I do. Like 90% of that fanbase seems to be red pillers and shit heels. Hell, the Senran Kagura subreddit reads like mini Gamergate.

Do people really get that mad over the term "SJW" to the point of not using an online retailer anymore?
Really depends on what you want. With EMS you'll get it incredibly fast (matter of days, maybe even release day) but it'll cost you around 20-30 bucks. SAL gets the job done but it's slower; around 5-15 dollars for games I think.
The last episode of South Park suggested they be called Pussy Crushers. How's about that? That doesn't sound too derogatory.
Was Gamergate's existence in question?
...I'm sure someone somewhere has claimed that SJWs invented Gamergate as a publicity stunt.
But she never made it in the game so the American Dream was cut just like the western release. RIP American boobs

Considering the implication and who's likely to be the most receptive. Yes. This is not acceptable behavior for any retailer.

Well, they at least get mad enough to claim they won't use an online retailer anymore.
Only Marie Rose.
They're weak willed then. If they think they can make a profit on the game then there shouldn't be anything stopping them from bringing it over. If they're going to be peddlers of terrible video games, they shouldn't really shy away from people making fun of their games.
If you actually spent any time looking at what "SJWs" talk about, you'd find that DOA is pretty low on the list of concerns. Nobody is offended.

That is absolutely hysterical. Personally after thinking about it more and more, I doubt it has anything to do with that and more so that the last game didn't sell as well as they would've hoped. I mean, I could be wrong. But it's not like everything that comes out has triggered someone or a group of people. However, it's kind of sad because I think we're reaching a point where I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. I'm not a fan of the series at all, but why not just not buy it or support it rather than ranting about it and trying to ruin it for the fans. I'm really hoping that doesn't become a common practice, especially for video games.
I'm still going with this is all a load of bologna and they just think that releasing it in the USA would be a waste of time and/or not successful.

Well over half of the sales it did get were from the west. I am not sure how that'd be a sensible decision if that were the reason.
Who knows though?

I don't think how I choose to spend my money is any of your business. My concern is your qualifying who is an "importer", like their response to this somehow proves they don't.
That's just what they want you to think.
I don't really like it when retailers try and court a hate group.

- You suggested that "nobody" complained about the game (which has yet to be released).
- I posted a many links in response to your claim that clearly illustrate a pattern of people complaining about the DOA series in the past.
- Your response was that the games deserve the criticism and that the people complaining about them were in the right.
YOU just described the DOA series as "pandering trash" and deserving "negative media attention." At least your acknowledging the negative media attention finally, but it's disingenuous to suggest that people wouldn't have complained about this game if it was released.
No, her official age is 18.
Im loving how a business actually figured it out how to exploit these weird people by framing it as a fight against freedom to wank to virtual girls of speech. Pretty clever knowing that the level of discourse they reach is limited to vacant mentions of South Park and whatever they can copy and paste from reddit. Respect the hustle.

"Some" people (who you can't or won't identify) have a "general" problem (which you mention no concrete consequences of) with pandering games, and that reflects back on this title (despite the clear evidence that no one has taken any steps to specifically interfere with this game's release)? Sorry, no. You're just chasing after imaginary boogeymen at this point.

What customers are Play-Asia (exporter of such quality goods as figurines of anime schoolgirls peeing themselves, with pee splatter accessories) really going to alienate by blaming something on political correctness?
TurnipFritters

It's because everyone knows the SJW excuse is bull, and by using that particular terminology they're courting a very specific type of customer that represent the grosser segments of video game fans.

I imagine nobody bought from sony after they told fans to get another job. Or Microsofts we have a product for people with no internet crap. Fallout being buggy mess had to make people go i wont buy this anymore. Or how about all the low content AAA releases. Not saying people are wrong just find it funny something like a tweet can set that reaction off

I believe this is a "lets see if we can get that Dragon's crown controversy" plan.... really i see no logical reason with KT's recent stuff that would say why this game isnt coming out.

Everything I've seen regarding this game looks harmless. But people nowadays are way too ready to charge full riot mode on something they don't like. More than a few people have been targeted by social media outrage campaigns, as we're all aware.
I think they're in the wrong for not having a western release, although it is clearly still available to purchase in English regardless.
I think the easy and lazy response is to get mad at these supposed people who are supposedly stopping a western release, simply because they have an opinion about sexualization of women in video games. Personally I am 100% okay with the content of this game I have seen so far. Women in bikinis is offensive? Don't go to the beach then. Might get offended really fast. But to blame those people who find issue... nah. We know who is in control here. No one is forcing their hands, I think.

Really? I didn't look at the numbers. It wasn't well received though, eh? I just remember a lot of people being pretty disappointed. Guess I assumed wrong about the selling well part. My bad!
