As long as the community still has the tenacity to support the game along with positivity, it still lives I guess. They've become very demanding for DOA6 since 2016 and losing interest with DOA5. I feel bad for them about the NEC18 announcement though.

As long as you have someone to play then really it doesn't matter what anyone says.
