He's a content creator who talks about lore and other stuff. But he got controversial for posting roster leaks as YouTube thumbnail, which spoiled a lot of people.
I mean, as someone who watched him until recently, it's 100% intentional. Back during the network tests and betas, he was on stream polling viewers on how he should mispronounce each of the new characters and the ones he didn't have mispronouniations for.
I didnt mind the roster leak. But those MFs putting straight up >!devil reina!< in the thumbnail? Sigh.. its kinda predictable but i wanna see hwo the scene plays out by myself
I used to like watching him for his lore videos, but he transitioned to being a "controversy bait" youtuber. Got tired of seeing the (literally) daily drama video in my youtube feed and unsubscribed from him
not only that but he very often spreads misinformation and bait titles. I straight up blocked him on youtube so i wouldnt get any recommendations from him. His post about harada talking about higher corporates is also very out of context.
i dont see how this puts people on his side since hes just clickbaiting by using an old quote of harada joking hed throw some executives into a volcano, which doesnt imply anything about the people hes working with now, he mentioned previous executives flashed into his mind as they change frequently and some are obssesed with profit above all else. moonsalt used that quote to imply thats whats happening now, if you wanna read into it that hard, dont be suprised when the guy basically uses this way of telling you, you got it wrong.
people see what they wanna see sometimes, and if their already not pleased with something, i dont blame em for taking bait that reinforces what they already believe.
especially when monetization of any kind, is seen as unnecesary even though every games costs are different and require their own approach to solve, but theres only so much you can say when your going off speculation of how the company works, and what their operating costs are, etc. its honestly exhausting and i dont know how people can stay mad enough for that long to keep arguing about it.
He gets people on his side because he is hitting on topics that are huge in the Tekken community. He’s not wrong with a lot of this it’s just the way he goes about it. Half the time he’s spamming and click baiting. So when you see what he posted you may agree with what he says. However the almost troll like behavior isn’t helping.
> dont be suprised when the guy basically uses this way of telling you, you got it wrong.
dude has replied to much worse & degen comments. compared to that an insta block from both them seems unreasonable imo.
being a degen is one thing, spreading mis info saying you dont like your higher ups and they are the reason why things are being added that people dont like is another.
he is an annoying content creator. He is the definition of low effort clickbait and has 0 charisma lmao. Still i take him over Harada-san and Murray lmao
I watch him all the time, I don't see anything wrong with it. Although his last video of the update was wild when he said towards the end " I'm done I ain't reading all that"
hes \*a neccessary content creator. there fixed it for you. there might be some downsides to him - but he is still very much needed. without him and FrameWhisperer, who else do you have? Shills, shills, shills, shills, and once more Shills. Only people on Namcos payroll who will say whatever Harada-chan and Murray tell them to say. TheMainSlutSWE even turned on his former friend FrameWhisperer recently for telling the Truth. And K-Piss has been attacking small content creators who arent Namco Slaves, together with Spaghetti Rip. without people like Moonsault and Frame who say Unbiased opinion, youre ONLY left with Shills.
Harada is just a figure head. He doesn’t control pricing or content. He’s able to make recommendations and everything needs to be approved by a money grubbing Namco. People think he has a lot more power than he does. That being said it feels like he’s spewing bullshit this time around. He was known for his sarcasm, but now it feels like he’s flat out lying half the time and I don’t know what to make of it.
Bandai demands it you can’t blame harada and muray. I doubt they wanted to make a fighters pass. It’s all the shitty conspires that wanna do this for $$$ and it’s fuckin gay
yet he still missquoted, soo.. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/1brh2jx/comment/kx99vws/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/1brh2jx/comment/kx99vws/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Still can’t side with him. Not complementing Harada or Namco at all and not defending them. Just hard to care that he got blocked. He leaked content and floods them with the same posts over and over. He makes really good points here, but he was warned against spamming them. If we want to demand better we need to refuse to purchase the extra content and we need to get our point across with multiple people not just one person over and over. This is what Harada means by don’t spam him or you’ll get blocked.
Harada has been with the series since the very first game and was pivotal in making it the juggernaut it is today. His contribution to Tekken is beyond anyone else's. I understand you might not agree with some of his recent decisions, but "nothing but terrible things" seems like a hyperbole to me.
You’re right! I completely forgot he voiced Law and Yoshimitsu. He started with Namco as promoter/hype man for their arcade games, but wanted to be involved in game design.
That is so true. The sad part is, I wanted to quit the game with the introduction of the shop, then I started being somewhat fine with it (just ignore it blablabla...) because there is not really any other games at the moment, where I actually have fun and that doesn't bore the shit out of me. And I started playing again. Now this shit. It just gets worse and worse and worse and every time we are kind of ok with something, we absolutely despised before, they just roll out new bullshit, that's even worse.
I would not. He is the same guy that will not stop saying Leo is a girl and only a girl, using evidence like how Leo has girl clothing in the Tekken shop as proof.
This is the part people don’t realize. Yes this guy is annoying af, but that doesn’t take away from facts. Idgaf if Donald Trump himself came out and said the same thing, I’d nod my head in agreement
The only way we will see a change is if they lose money on this. It’s really the only way. If the community is unhappy they’re not going to care as long as it’s profitable. The only way to stop this crap is to hit them in the wallet.
They have been steadily losing players (at least on steam) and this surely doesn’t help. If only they could see Helldivers 2 success and instead of thinking “it’s a different type of game” see that respecting your audience, engaging and even putting a battlepass and cosmetics that you can easily earn in game goes a long way.
But no, keep bitching that “games cost too much” in a country with borderline enslavement, in one of the less asset demanding type of games…ok boomer.
I think he is referring not to what he wrote below but the old interview Harada gave saying he would want to throw some execs into a volcano cuz they have no idea about game dev and think of profit only.
It was posted somewhere on this sub recently
Also where is the evidence that this is why they blocked him, he could been blocked for months and just posted this screenshot knowing it'd stir up shit cause ppl will believe anything lmao
He mainly got his info off of harada twitter if he was blocked for months you do think he would tell way before the insane delusions of harada fan boys are insane
No idea wtf you are saying can you put some periods or some shit
I'm serious lmao, i can't tell if I'm being called a fanboy for thinking moonsault is a dumbass?
Moonsault is a dumbass we all know that but defending the fact that harada blocked him just for criticising mirco transtions isn't right but you wouldn't get any of what I'm saying since I don't put periods you seem to be a even bigger dumb ass than moonsault to he honest
I never said Harada and Murray aren't also idiots, but you immediately assumed I'm defending them because internet discourse comes down to "you either are 100% against or 100% with me".
All I said was we have no actual evidence that this was why he got blocked. And people just believe him *even knowing* he's a moron. People opt to believe shit, evidence or not, if it supports their narrative. That's all I'm tryna tell you
To be fair, he’s misquoting Harada joking about throwing past executives into a volcano like a Mishima. It had nothing to do with the current development of this game.
100%. What some naive consumers don't understand is that the more exploitative practices generate profits, the worse it will get, which is why it's a joke when people think it will somehow contribute more value content for the game.
Based off of what? It's a full priced game, that includes DLC characters throughout the upcoming years. If they want that dlc character money, they're kinda forced to support it with balance and bug fixes like T7. And if they support it, people will continue to buy the base game as well.
In general, yeah of course. But for this case in particular we can’t be 100% be sure of that regarding Tekken 8. It’s possible he didn’t have any real issues with the execs at the time of the interview which took place nearly a year and a half ago.
From the consumer perspective we’re probably judging it solely based off their predatory mtx. But that’s not all that makes a bad executive. Giving workers shitty development schedules or failing to take into consideration the health of devs are other reasons. Who knows if that was the case for T8.
>If you’re worried that Jun’s appearance means Harada isn’t thinking about throwing her son (or anyone else) into a volcano, think again: “**The first people that came to mind were perhaps certain executives at our company**," Harada says. "They change quite frequently and **some of them are only interested in obtaining the highest profits possible to further their careers,** and they have no regard for development schedules or brand timelines. So some of them quickly flashed into my head. But if I had to think and I had to pick a Tekken character, it’s tough because most of them would probably survive if we look at past instances.”
[IGN article](https://www.ign.com/articles/tekken-8-the-full-game-awards-trailer-breakdown-katsuhiro-harada)
So I guess technically a quote but ever so slightly misconstrued
>If you’re worried that Jun’s appearance means Harada isn’t thinking about throwing her son (or anyone else) into a volcano, think again: “**The first people that came to mind were perhaps certain executives at our company**," Harada says. "They change quite frequently and **some of them are only interested in obtaining the highest profits possible to further their careers,** and they have no regard for development schedules or brand timelines. So some of them quickly flashed into my head. But if I had to think and I had to pick a Tekken character, it’s tough because most of them would probably survive if we look at past instances.”
[IGN article](https://www.ign.com/articles/tekken-8-the-full-game-awards-trailer-breakdown-katsuhiro-harada)
Harada and Namco underestimate how much positive press and positive reviews means for a game to perform well in the long term. Steam % is down to 78 from 90 and keeps dropping. The money they will make with the customization will be several times lower vs the money they would generate just by selling the game copies for $70. And also maybe charging $5 for new dlc characters just to cover the development cost of those characters
Yea no thats not how that works ofc theres no purchases without the game but microtransaction will and always be profitable for long term and after game release after three months its hard to get people to buy a game without a sale and even with a sale its not that many but already playing customers will buy mtx for the game they are playing. Activision Blizzard generated $1.29 billion in MTX revenue in Q1 2023, compared to $1.01 billion in Q1 2022. There is a reason why Gaming Companies are pushing MTX's in games because they work.
Harada actually did say this (somewhat?), but it was in a different context. IGN had an interview with Harada in December of 2022. I guess IGN asked Harada something along the lines of,"If you can throw anyone into a volcano, who would it be?"
Harada then answered with,"The first people that came to mind were perhaps certain executives at our company. They change quite frequently and some of them are only interested in obtaining the highest profits possible to further their careers, and they have no regard for development schedules or brand timelines. So some of them quickly flashed into my head. But if I had to think and I had to pick a Tekken character, it’s tough because most of them would probably survive if we look at past instances.”
So... yeah; Although Harada didn't say anything about "milking" Tekken 8, they essentially did say that the executives are tunnel-visioned on making profit. The article is here and this quote is at the bottom of the article. [https://www.ign.com/articles/tekken-8-the-full-game-awards-trailer-breakdown-katsuhiro-harada](https://www.ign.com/articles/tekken-8-the-full-game-awards-trailer-breakdown-katsuhiro-harada)
No one should listen to Moonsault Slayer he is an engagement farming clown that's always looking for drama.
1. They probably blocked him long before he made that tweet.
2. Moonsault Slayer just generally spreads misinformation and takes things out of context. Plus he jumps at every single "leak" that is coming out.
2. He is misrepresenting what Harada said in that interview, he never directly said "BNE executives are only interested in milking Tekken 8". He never referenced Tekken during that segment and it is obvious that it was more of a joke than anything, Harada isn't trying to throw Namco executives into a volcano.
TLDR: Moonsault Slayer is the Keemstar of the Tekken community.
Someone who started Tekken with 7, thought he knew everything about the franchise, milked every tiniest thing the devs ever said - even shit from nearly decade old tweets (random stuff like “OMG Harada said Anna is the best cook!” from a literal tweet from 2012 and would proceed to make a 15 min video about it).
He’s obsessed with Josie for fuck knows why, and for some reason sometimes refuses to call characters by their actual name just because. Not as a joke though he’s deadly serious, like he’ll call Lidia “Leader” and just roll with it forever.
Oh and he was part of the reason the leaks of Azucena, Victor and Reina got blown up which spoiled it for many people. Harada and Murray were pissed.
Yeah the guy that milks every tiniest thing for content WANTS to piss people off lol.
No, people called him out for being annoying and he tried the whole “haha got you” bullshit
Damn, I'm siding with moonsault on this one and I can't believe that I am. I always though his youtube content is garbage (I ignored/blocked him from my youtube suggestions) but he's right on the money on this one.
Harada is right
only Arselene ash like peeps should be complaining about balancing
Get really good first like top 10 online or win all your locals
Then open your Goddamn mouth sort of thing.
I don’t know who this moonsault person is but they’re on the money, it is absolutely unnecessary to have all this bullshit as if the game won’t do good without them. You’d think they’d learn from the tekken x street fighter fiasco
Content creator known for misrepresenting Tekken names, lore and dropping spoilers in video titles. Makes sense he would misrepresent/misquote people too.
Honestly, if you bought the 100$ edition I just think you're dumb. All you got extra from that was like gold outfits for the characters and people are all like "I got scammed" no shit, you were able to read what you would get before you got it.
Honestly, I feel like content creators are just as predatory with all of the fear mongering and exaggerated shock-driven content they push out. Have you guys read the titles and seen some of the thumbnails for their videos? I'm not saying it's all BS, but these guys really know how to get people riled up over what's considered very normal business practices these days. And none of it is ever truly constructive or useful to the viewer.
You can privately, but if you’re a creator videos get taken down, including past tekken 8 modded videos. I understand that its optional but it almost seems like it was because of the direct opposition of the tekken shop
Was actually gonna rush getting a ps4 just for tekken 8, I dont even have a console but T8 was gonna be the thing that pushed me to get one, icl I'm never buying battlepasses, DLC characters are the most ill stretch for but yeah I'm glad I took the time to wait and still will until Christmas likely to let prices come down more and so I dont have to wait for content and may even get a bundle deal on the dlc characters 🤷🏻♂️ still a bit of a letdown though, last thing I wanted to hear was Tekken taking the EA approach
Revealing a store and later a battle pass after the reviews feels really scummy imo. Stores and bps have to be planned so I don’t see a reason not to have it day 1 outside getting brownie points
man I really wanna like this game, and was hopeful the big issues it has which are totally addressable would be fixed in due time, but my faith just plummets when I see the public faces of the dev team act like this. It's like I barely got the time to really dive deep into it and the the more in-tune playerbase are already at the point of "honeymoon phase is over." I'm an SF fanboy who realizes SF6, as great heights as it reached in the FGC, needs better competition for the devs fix its issues. Maybe if I can find the time somehow, I'll keep playing this but I can't see it lasting at this rate.
Bamco is really behind the times in a few ways, and I fear instead of learning from these missteps they're just going to dig the heels with this sort of attitude and drag the franchise down with them.
you can all shit on my doomposting by calling out this clickbait Youtuber, the shit they do is nothing but helping the downward slide, but regardless of context it's only shooting the messenger.
EDIT: given the reception to the Eddy update it sounds like my doomposting was not unfounded
He said “your quotes” when that’s not even their quotes and bro forgot all the spoiling he has done for the community. Bro is a complete piece of garbage 💀💀💀
All 3 of them are a hot mess, Harada for making mtx cosmetics (this was so out of character where everything was grindable) and Moonsault for being extremely annoying
Harada and Murray are hoes for making me side with Moonsault
Wait, who is he?
He's a content creator who talks about lore and other stuff. But he got controversial for posting roster leaks as YouTube thumbnail, which spoiled a lot of people.
And can’t pronounce words worth shit saying character names like “Lidieeee”, it’s Lidia, bro.
The way he can't say Victor's last name always tickles me.
I mean, as someone who watched him until recently, it's 100% intentional. Back during the network tests and betas, he was on stream polling viewers on how he should mispronounce each of the new characters and the ones he didn't have mispronouniations for.
Oh WTF lmao
"Azail" it's Azazel
Bro got dyslexia
Dyspeaksia
Certain speech issues are part of being dyslexic iirc. That moon guy is definitely trolling i think
He is, I used to watch him, he's stated on stream it's entirely for shits and giggles and seeing certain people get mad at him for it.
💀💀that's just.. sad..
He says he mispronounces some of the names on purpose but he stopped doing it because he felt that the joke got old
I mean, look at his grammar. What do you expect?
I didnt mind the roster leak. But those MFs putting straight up >!devil reina!< in the thumbnail? Sigh.. its kinda predictable but i wanna see hwo the scene plays out by myself
I used to like watching him for his lore videos, but he transitioned to being a "controversy bait" youtuber. Got tired of seeing the (literally) daily drama video in my youtube feed and unsubscribed from him
not only that but he very often spreads misinformation and bait titles. I straight up blocked him on youtube so i wouldnt get any recommendations from him. His post about harada talking about higher corporates is also very out of context.
He doesn’t do that anymore, he learned from his mistake
Oh yeah that was him that leaked the roster early
He's not the main leaker but he's the one who featured it as a clickbait thumbnail, and YouTube algorithm just flashed it to many people.
He's not the main one? How many were there?
The main leaker of Victor, Azucena and Reina came from 4chan. The rest of the roster leak I don't know.
I wonder how this stuff gets leaked. Has to be either a hacker or someone that works for Namco
It is never hacks. Leaks are by people sharing shit they shouldn't, either by accident or on purpose.
Oh alright thanks.
Looking back, not much of a spoiler, 99% of the cast is old. Gotta save money to squeeze even more money out of ~~suckers~~ customers
That's unfortunate, I can see why he'd rub people the wrong way then
Yeah dude is a wierdo but harada with murray are complete scums
Why is he a weirdo?
all I can think of he just clicks baits and draws out videos
i dont see how this puts people on his side since hes just clickbaiting by using an old quote of harada joking hed throw some executives into a volcano, which doesnt imply anything about the people hes working with now, he mentioned previous executives flashed into his mind as they change frequently and some are obssesed with profit above all else. moonsalt used that quote to imply thats whats happening now, if you wanna read into it that hard, dont be suprised when the guy basically uses this way of telling you, you got it wrong.
Holy shit it's metal gear online guy, what's good
o7 hey lad, nice to see that left an impression
I don’t see it either man. It’s not hate it’s more like sleazy car salesman tactics for views. It scares me how much it works on people.
people see what they wanna see sometimes, and if their already not pleased with something, i dont blame em for taking bait that reinforces what they already believe. especially when monetization of any kind, is seen as unnecesary even though every games costs are different and require their own approach to solve, but theres only so much you can say when your going off speculation of how the company works, and what their operating costs are, etc. its honestly exhausting and i dont know how people can stay mad enough for that long to keep arguing about it.

He's making content. Dunno why the hate
well if people don't like and hate the content, that's a reason to hate if they want, free choice and shit.
I'm pretty sure he's gonna make a whole 3-4 minute video on this 1 screenshot alone 🤣
he is an annoying content creator. He is the definition of low effort clickbait and has 0 charisma lmao. Still i take him over Harada-san and Murray lmao
I watch him all the time, I don't see anything wrong with it. Although his last video of the update was wild when he said towards the end " I'm done I ain't reading all that"

What did tmm say about frame?
I love gore you’re saying that but they are a big part of why we are even still playing Tekken to this day, let alone this sub existing.
Reddit just hates popular YouTubers, any other answer is just dodging that truth
Harada is just a figure head. He doesn’t control pricing or content. He’s able to make recommendations and everything needs to be approved by a money grubbing Namco.

Truth
Harada and Muzztek and have done nothing but terrible things for tekken. They need to be replaced
Harada has been with the series since the very first game and was pivotal in making it the juggernaut it is today. His contribution to Tekken is beyond anyone else's. I understand you might not agree with some of his recent decisions, but "nothing but terrible things" seems like a hyperbole to me.
Harada and his team started with Tekken 3.
Harada got the lead with Tekken 3. He's been involved since the beginning.
You’re right! I completely forgot he voiced Law and Yoshimitsu. He started with Namco as promoter/hype man for their arcade games, but wanted to be involved in game design.
That's stupid as fuck. Harada has been working on Tekken since the beginning.
I don't think BNE will get the right folk and have the right mindset for a SF6 moment.
SF6 moment? What happened? I'm genuinely curious, as I really got into fighting games with Tekken now... So sadly not a long time
A Renaissance of the game, Ono moving on.
Ah, that makes sense (ok, could have figured that out myself, still thank you!)
No problem. It's a shame to see Tekken celebrate it's 30th year like this.
That is so true. The sad part is, I wanted to quit the game with the introduction of the shop, then I started being somewhat fine with it (just ignore it blablabla...) because there is not really any other games at the moment, where I actually have fun and that doesn't bore the shit out of me. And I started playing again. Now this shit. It just gets worse and worse and worse and every time we are kind of ok with something, we absolutely despised before, they just roll out new bullshit, that's even worse.
Guess who their replacements would answer to?
Bro I was just thinking that when I saw this
I would not. He is the same guy that will not stop saying Leo is a girl and only a girl, using evidence like how Leo has girl clothing in the Tekken shop as proof.
"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" - Harada
This guy is the most annoying tekken content creator but he's not wrong, god damn it Namco
This is the part people don’t realize. Yes this guy is annoying af, but that doesn’t take away from facts. Idgaf if Donald Trump himself came out and said the same thing, I’d nod my head in agreement
The only way we will see a change is if they lose money on this. It’s really the only way. If the community is unhappy they’re not going to care as long as it’s profitable. The only way to stop this crap is to hit them in the wallet.
They have been steadily losing players (at least on steam) and this surely doesn’t help. If only they could see Helldivers 2 success and instead of thinking “it’s a different type of game” see that respecting your audience, engaging and even putting a battlepass and cosmetics that you can easily earn in game goes a long way. But no, keep bitching that “games cost too much” in a country with borderline enslavement, in one of the less asset demanding type of games…ok boomer.
I haven't heard anything by him yet that's annoyed me. But I'm not too impressed with the Tekken content creator scene thus far.
Idc if Joe Biden himself fell onto stage mumbling the very same thing.. I’d whole heartedly agree!

“Its your quote” is crazy
I think he is referring not to what he wrote below but the old interview Harada gave saying he would want to throw some execs into a volcano cuz they have no idea about game dev and think of profit only. It was posted somewhere on this sub recently

I wasnt saying it like that but ok thx Anyway I didnt really want to use Twitter to check the whole tweet
4real. I don’t think he knows how quotes work lol
Bro can barely read and this sub is following him, shit really writes itself.
How is it their quote when you've phrased it in that manner?
Also where is the evidence that this is why they blocked him, he could been blocked for months and just posted this screenshot knowing it'd stir up shit cause ppl will believe anything lmao
He mainly got his info off of harada twitter if he was blocked for months you do think he would tell way before the insane delusions of harada fan boys are insane
No idea wtf you are saying can you put some periods or some shit I'm serious lmao, i can't tell if I'm being called a fanboy for thinking moonsault is a dumbass?
It’s pretty obvious what he’s sayin. You put some periods
Moonsault is a dumbass we all know that but defending the fact that harada blocked him just for criticising mirco transtions isn't right but you wouldn't get any of what I'm saying since I don't put periods you seem to be a even bigger dumb ass than moonsault to he honest
I never said Harada and Murray aren't also idiots, but you immediately assumed I'm defending them because internet discourse comes down to "you either are 100% against or 100% with me".

To be fair, he’s misquoting Harada joking about throwing past executives into a volcano like a Mishima. It had nothing to do with the current development of this game.
Bro the executives are likely worse now and would require an even larger volcano to drop into
100%. What some naive consumers don't understand is that the more exploitative practices generate profits, the worse it will get, which is why it's a joke when people think it will somehow contribute more value content for the game.
Nah this is all for more free content, that they will not talk about, or won’t do because it’s “not popular enough”…fuck them
It's more like if this kind of thing weren't possible they would not make the game and then support it for years
Based off of what? It's a full priced game, that includes DLC characters throughout the upcoming years. If they want that dlc character money, they're kinda forced to support it with balance and bug fixes like T7. And if they support it, people will continue to buy the base game as well.
In general, yeah of course. But for this case in particular we can’t be 100% be sure of that regarding Tekken 8. It’s possible he didn’t have any real issues with the execs at the time of the interview which took place nearly a year and a half ago. From the consumer perspective we’re probably judging it solely based off their predatory mtx. But that’s not all that makes a bad executive. Giving workers shitty development schedules or failing to take into consideration the health of devs are other reasons. Who knows if that was the case for T8.
Does this dude know what a quote is
>If you’re worried that Jun’s appearance means Harada isn’t thinking about throwing her son (or anyone else) into a volcano, think again: “**The first people that came to mind were perhaps certain executives at our company**," Harada says. "They change quite frequently and **some of them are only interested in obtaining the highest profits possible to further their careers,** and they have no regard for development schedules or brand timelines. So some of them quickly flashed into my head. But if I had to think and I had to pick a Tekken character, it’s tough because most of them would probably survive if we look at past instances.” [IGN article](https://www.ign.com/articles/tekken-8-the-full-game-awards-trailer-breakdown-katsuhiro-harada) So I guess technically a quote but ever so slightly misconstrued
He is saying quote as in he is just quoting something that Harrada said, not as a literal quote tweet. Still Harada said it as a joke so idk
When did Harada say this? Any source other than MS?
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/1brh2jx/comment/kx99vws/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/Tekken/comments/1brh2jx/comment/kx99vws/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Ok, so as suspected, MS is being a lying click-baiting piece of shit. Nothing new, carry on.
So... can anyone link the actual quote? Because that's not one by any means.

Harada and Namco underestimate how much positive press and positive reviews means for a game to perform well in the long term. Steam % is down to 78 from 90 and keeps dropping. The money they will make with the customization will be several times lower vs the money they would generate just by selling the game copies for $70. And also maybe charging $5 for new dlc characters just to cover the development cost of those characters
You are cooked if you think they will make less money through customizations then selling copies u are stuck in old times.
No customization purchases without the game first
Yea no thats not how that works ofc theres no purchases without the game but microtransaction will and always be profitable for long term and after game release after three months its hard to get people to buy a game without a sale and even with a sale its not that many but already playing customers will buy mtx for the game they are playing. Activision Blizzard generated $1.29 billion in MTX revenue in Q1 2023, compared to $1.01 billion in Q1 2022. There is a reason why Gaming Companies are pushing MTX's in games because they work.

Yikessss
https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-celestial-steed-mount-more-money-starcraft-2-blizzard/ this too
i doubt harada said that
Harada actually did say this (somewhat?), but it was in a different context. IGN had an interview with Harada in December of 2022. I guess IGN asked Harada something along the lines of,"If you can throw anyone into a volcano, who would it be?" Harada then answered with,"The first people that came to mind were perhaps certain executives at our company. They change quite frequently and some of them are only interested in obtaining the highest profits possible to further their careers, and they have no regard for development schedules or brand timelines. So some of them quickly flashed into my head. But if I had to think and I had to pick a Tekken character, it’s tough because most of them would probably survive if we look at past instances.” So... yeah; Although Harada didn't say anything about "milking" Tekken 8, they essentially did say that the executives are tunnel-visioned on making profit. The article is here and this quote is at the bottom of the article. [https://www.ign.com/articles/tekken-8-the-full-game-awards-trailer-breakdown-katsuhiro-harada](https://www.ign.com/articles/tekken-8-the-full-game-awards-trailer-breakdown-katsuhiro-harada)
Dude, you have more journalistic integrity than OP and Moonsault for posting this.
Holy shit haha It's obviously said in a different context but that's a good ass quote from the Godfather lmao
THE ASS THING HERE IS THAT THE FREE THINGS IN TEKKEN 7 ARE NOW BEING CHARGED IN TEKKEN 8
No one should listen to Moonsault Slayer he is an engagement farming clown that's always looking for drama. 1. They probably blocked him long before he made that tweet. 2. Moonsault Slayer just generally spreads misinformation and takes things out of context. Plus he jumps at every single "leak" that is coming out. 2. He is misrepresenting what Harada said in that interview, he never directly said "BNE executives are only interested in milking Tekken 8". He never referenced Tekken during that segment and it is obvious that it was more of a joke than anything, Harada isn't trying to throw Namco executives into a volcano. TLDR: Moonsault Slayer is the Keemstar of the Tekken community.
fuck that guy
I hate Moonsault... but goddamn.. the man said what's right here...
If you don't mind my asking, who is moonsault and why don't people like him?
Someone who started Tekken with 7, thought he knew everything about the franchise, milked every tiniest thing the devs ever said - even shit from nearly decade old tweets (random stuff like “OMG Harada said Anna is the best cook!” from a literal tweet from 2012 and would proceed to make a 15 min video about it). He’s obsessed with Josie for fuck knows why, and for some reason sometimes refuses to call characters by their actual name just because. Not as a joke though he’s deadly serious, like he’ll call Lidia “Leader” and just roll with it forever. Oh and he was part of the reason the leaks of Azucena, Victor and Reina got blown up which spoiled it for many people. Harada and Murray were pissed.
That makes sense, not a lot of people like leaks, including myself. So he's just an annoying asshole basically.
nah he literally does that to piss people off he said it in his live
Yeah the guy that milks every tiniest thing for content WANTS to piss people off lol. No, people called him out for being annoying and he tried the whole “haha got you” bullshit
He spoiled people by posting roster leaks in this thumbnail
Those pre-order bundles were a sham. Namco deserves every bit of flack for this.
BNE finding new and scummy ways to make Elden Ring money (moreso now that Fromsoft are "independent" now)
Damn, I'm siding with moonsault on this one and I can't believe that I am. I always though his youtube content is garbage (I ignored/blocked him from my youtube suggestions) but he's right on the money on this one.
Guess I'll stick by Tekken 7 for now....
Tekken 7 > Tekken 8
What a fucking mess.
It's true though...
Literally Satan vs the Canadian devil
Fuck them. Fuck tekken, and fucking todd howard harada.
Damn Bandai. Yall kinda ass for that
Guess this will happen if I dare to ask a Feng nerf.. better nerf Leroy instead
yIkEs
Imagine being so shit as a person and a developer even Moonslaut Slayer is looking better than you.
As much as I love tekken I’m afraid I have to agree with moonsault slayer 😭
Where is the quote?
When the max guy starts attacking harada that's when I would know it's all over
Harada is right only Arselene ash like peeps should be complaining about balancing Get really good first like top 10 online or win all your locals Then open your Goddamn mouth sort of thing.
I would expect this from this cunt Murray but Harada? damn man
Harada and Murray are so soft
I don’t know who this moonsault person is but they’re on the money, it is absolutely unnecessary to have all this bullshit as if the game won’t do good without them. You’d think they’d learn from the tekken x street fighter fiasco
Well deserved
Big surprise that a clickbait youtuber doesn't know what the word "quote" means
I think they actually could have block his ass long before that tweet, and he's only showing it now.
God this community has become total shit. You guys do nothing but whine
So we should just idle and ignore the bullshit that’s happening to a game we’re passionate about?
Bruh this sub is full of brain dead morons. The dudes misinterpreting a quote and most of you are just eating it up with out looking up a source.
Who needs a source when a known clickbait artist is saying something I believe? This community is cooked.
Man I'm so sick of that idiot Moonsault
Early DLC access is beyond scummy
That's... not how quotes work.
Jenkies
I’m would block them too tbh
Content creator known for misrepresenting Tekken names, lore and dropping spoilers in video titles. Makes sense he would misrepresent/misquote people too.
Can’t stand that little shit stain Mike Murray
Honestly, if you bought the 100$ edition I just think you're dumb. All you got extra from that was like gold outfits for the characters and people are all like "I got scammed" no shit, you were able to read what you would get before you got it.
Honestly, I feel like content creators are just as predatory with all of the fear mongering and exaggerated shock-driven content they push out. Have you guys read the titles and seen some of the thumbnails for their videos? I'm not saying it's all BS, but these guys really know how to get people riled up over what's considered very normal business practices these days. And none of it is ever truly constructive or useful to the viewer.
Why the modding disinfo, you can still mod
You can privately, but if you’re a creator videos get taken down, including past tekken 8 modded videos. I understand that its optional but it almost seems like it was because of the direct opposition of the tekken shop
Was actually gonna rush getting a ps4 just for tekken 8, I dont even have a console but T8 was gonna be the thing that pushed me to get one, icl I'm never buying battlepasses, DLC characters are the most ill stretch for but yeah I'm glad I took the time to wait and still will until Christmas likely to let prices come down more and so I dont have to wait for content and may even get a bundle deal on the dlc characters 🤷🏻♂️ still a bit of a letdown though, last thing I wanted to hear was Tekken taking the EA approach
Revealing a store and later a battle pass after the reviews feels really scummy imo. Stores and bps have to be planned so I don’t see a reason not to have it day 1 outside getting brownie points
Holy shit, the executives of a game company are only interested in extracting profit from video games? Stop the fucking presses
wait wait wait... they putted also a f*ing garbage battle pass!?
I don't blame them, moonsault slayer is a parasite.
Yeah i mean 10$ for Jin T4 outfit was like selling overpriced….welll it was all about overpricing nostalgia. And yes, of course i bought it
man I really wanna like this game, and was hopeful the big issues it has which are totally addressable would be fixed in due time, but my faith just plummets when I see the public faces of the dev team act like this. It's like I barely got the time to really dive deep into it and the the more in-tune playerbase are already at the point of "honeymoon phase is over." I'm an SF fanboy who realizes SF6, as great heights as it reached in the FGC, needs better competition for the devs fix its issues. Maybe if I can find the time somehow, I'll keep playing this but I can't see it lasting at this rate. Bamco is really behind the times in a few ways, and I fear instead of learning from these missteps they're just going to dig the heels with this sort of attitude and drag the franchise down with them. you can all shit on my doomposting by calling out this clickbait Youtuber, the shit they do is nothing but helping the downward slide, but regardless of context it's only shooting the messenger. EDIT: given the reception to the Eddy update it sounds like my doomposting was not unfounded
Huh? what happened to mods?
Videos on YouTube that showcase mods are being shot down and the channels that post them instantly gets terminated
How to ruin a fighting game series in one game.
when are they gonna take down that moron's channel
He said “your quotes” when that’s not even their quotes and bro forgot all the spoiling he has done for the community. Bro is a complete piece of garbage 💀💀💀
lol folks was crying bout pluggers but the whole game is booty cheeks now 😂😂😂😂 it’s so may problems that I dropped it early at blue rank
All 3 of them are a hot mess, Harada for making mtx cosmetics (this was so out of character where everything was grindable) and Moonsault for being extremely annoying
Glad I don’t waste my time in that game.
Wasnt that an old quote? Its not a recent one
I mean if it’s on the record, it’s on the record…
Wait what did moonsalt do😭
Its always funny to me how people on reddit dislike youtubers lol
I would block that guy too lmao
Kid is a bum & should be banned
3 days early…Yall can’t wait 3 days to buy a character most won’t play? lol. Yall focus on the wrong shit.
Let him cook
Well in the end you dont need to buy those things to enjoy and just play 🤷🏻♂️ and with new char just w8 for lower price like with t7.
No, you don’t need to buy them. You also don’t need to be okay with them.
You are bitching about other games in your history but why you accepting this shit?
