Royalties? Well I guess DBFZ will never have an official hosted tournament...

@KasumiLover At this case, might just let DBFZ be a one time thing and that's it unfortunately lol, though it sounds like the outcome it came to be was all from money. Companies trying to get more cash returns and Toei wanting more of that cash percentage that Bandai Namco and Arc System was getting I guess.

Welp, Rip any future Dragon Ball games ArcSys had planned. Crazy how money can change everything.

Toei: Sure make a Dragon Ball fighting game lol That'll be fun.
Arcsys: Heck yeah we're great at anime fighters!

Toei: Hey hol up this is getting really big we want a cut from the competitive scene.
Literally Everyone: Uhhh..... ._.

lol looks like capcom can make a new marvel game.

Well, that puts an end to "Nr. 1 competitive fighting game" in the lamest way possible. I'm not really surprised that this happened, it is business after all, however, this is the first fighting game that had something like this happening to it. With SFV having ads in the game too now things might be getting worse.

What about other DB games like Xenoverse I'm sure this doesn't just affect FighterZ

DBFZ is the only competitive DB game

Wow, this really, REALLY sucks for DBFZ. Wow Toei, not cool. I know you want a piece of the pie but this is bullshit. Welp, SFV or MK11 will be the main event at EVO'19 it looks now. Lame...

@NewWestFan Which is a bit of a shame really. Games like Budokai 3 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3 could be tournament-worthy with a few tweaks, maybe even Raging Blast 1.
