>>22082296Your conclusion is not logical. If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say that older fans make up about 30% of the consumer base? No marketer is going to try to purposely drive away sales, even if that 30% is 10% or 5%. There is no incentive to purposely not make money.
Also, I find it sad and odd that GF could easily keep older fans and new fans (having their cake and eating it too) by taking some time to add a hard mode or some real post game. Hard mode is not a tedious task, all you need are increased levels all round and reworked movesets and hold items on major battles. I can't see how that's too much work to keep older fans.
Masuda appears to be an arrogant cunt to be playing his cards this way.
