>>73956826DoA as a series just extremely fucked cause ever since the first beach volleyball game came out on Xbox that made the series synonymous with the idea of being this game for horny coomers and kinda killed its appeal as a "legitimate" fighting game, but the team behind it desperately want to held in the same level of prestige as 3D fighter such as Tekken Soulcalibur etc.
So they've treated for YEARS to be taken serious whether it be the "Imma fighter" campaign with DoA5, or outright toning down a good amount of the salaciousness in DoA6 which has a caused a split in a fanbase that already very small to being with
So the series is sorta on life support with the only DoA property still getting updates being VV
