Tappelupelisarja Tekken on edelleen hyvin suosittu, ja sarjan pomona toimii Katsuhiro Harada. Tekken 8 on tulossa, ja on olemassa joukko faneja, jotka reagoivat kaikkiin peliä koskeviin uutisiin hyvin voimakkaasti. Haradaa itseään on niin ikään uhkailtu. Harada on nyt ottanut kantaa asiaan todeten, että uhkauksista on vain haittaa kaikille.
Joka tapauksessa varsin viileästi ainakin julkisuudessa hän asian ottaa.
"When people make these silly threats, I and everyone at FGC suffer the following losses (See attached image).
---
(1) The event operator overreacts and increases security, which increases operating costs and increases the burden on the players attending the event. In the worst case, the event management will request me to cancel my attendance at the event.
(2) Company founders, board members, and lawyers "Don't like to be intimidated," so they ask me to Cancel inclusion in the game, even though, for example, the specification or character under threat "Should have been included in the game in the first place".
(3) If the person making these threats uses the word "We" instead of "I" to represent the fans, the probability of the two aforementioned disadvantages occurring is increased (Many of them don't understand this. I do not adopt the views of those who use "We" when expressing their opinions. It is up to Development Team to decide whether the opinion is majority or minority, and the person expressing the opinion says, "Everyone around me says so! (at most 5-6 people around me)" is irrelevant)."
