The reality of games that aren't a household name like SF. What SFV did at launch and what they're still doing? If they didn't pump so much money into it, it'd be deader than KoFXIV.
DOA5 actually had a pretty healthy online playerbase for many years after it's release.
It's looking like DOA6 won't be so fortunate, but I suppose we'll see once (if) lobbies eventually come around.
i think everyone just want to play with there friends , in 5 we mostly just chatted and played together, you really can't just enjoy the game like that in rank .
