« Team Ninja: We have no plans to sell characters as DLC »

Speaking with videogamer.com, Yosuke Hayashi spoke on what is possibly one of the most disliked practices in the fighting games industry, selling characters as downloadable content:

"We don't feel that it's right for fighting games."

"We feel like this is a kind of sport, and you don't change the rules for sports. Everybody plays by the same rules. You don't have a 14-player soccer game versus an 11-player soccer game. That's just not fair."

Team Ninja stated they have no plans to sell DLC characters. Certainly, his words will be appreciated within the fighting games community, and may influence other publishers to stop this practice.
