I already ordered the game and season pass bundle. They already got basically the whole Soul Calibur 1-2 roster in the game, which is reason enough to buy it and support it and anyone that isn't buying it over this Tira situation probably wasn't anyway/was fence sitting and looking for an excuse. If you legit like Soul Calibur then that should stop nothing.
I think everyone is being highly dramatic. The Tira situation is highly amusing because most of these people are/were buying the season pass BLIND without even knowing what characters or items will be included so I find it laughable that people wanna throw a fit over this. At least you get a popular fan favorite that you KNOW you will get from your purchase.
I don't even care about Tira that much so for the so called fans of her to be crying about getting her via season pass purchase or standalone DLC is just obtuse. If Talim was in her boat, my response would have been, "I was already buying the game and season pass anyway." A lot of this feigned outrage needs to stop. Unless people are going to actually protest with their wallets, the whining is so pointless and as we have seen with MK and other games, lots of tears followed by lots of still buying the item/product anyway.
