That's pretty much my position too. At least hopefully the next update will bring more changes like 1.19 did, and hopefully the backlash changes the way we get hair colour changes.
Yes but its not going to matter if they'll be making terrible business decisions after terrible business decisions, even if the gameplay gets better and better as time goes on since most of the playerbase, or what remained of it so far, will leave by then. KT is literally dancing on extremely sharp blades that can cut through pretty much anything with DOA6, you can only milk your fans for so long.
If it'll have any players who are willing to play it by then, unless if a ton of new players would want to play the newest entry in the franchise and they'll end up loving it, which would be one hell of a miracle considering how KT handles DOA6 or how it is going to handle it in the future.
