By now we all know that DOA Xtreme 3 isn’t coming to the West, but now the title’s creator, Tomonobu Itagaki, has made statements on Facebook explaining his displeasure with the situation.
A fan posted a link on Itagaki-san’s Facebook page to an article from Player Essence titled “Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Isn’t Coming to the West Because of Social Justice Warriors”. Itagaki responded, saying “Guys, I don’t know the truth, can’t understand, and even estimate. Are they planning to sell DOAX3 only in Japan???
What the hell…..” before adding, “Huh?? Why??? Are they chicken????”
Itagaki then added a comment stating “To all gamers here,
Loving women / games produce a game worth to love / play.
But it seems puppets of money doesn’t aware the principle even after eight years passed. Besides, they don’t afraid to tell lies.
But needless to worry.
Sooner or later, nightmare will be end. Because this is a providence of professional game industry.”
DOAX3 will not be available in Western regions, but Play Asia will be selling the Japanese version. Outraged Twitter users have threatened a boycott of the retailer, which it has used to spin into a social media campaign, doubling their followers since the boycott began.
