Not Even Arslan Ash Can Escape The Wrath Of Harada

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: “Katsuhiro Harada, the producer of Tekken 8, had some strong words for Arslan Ash, a legendary multi-Evo champion. After blocking him on a certain platform, Harada made it clear that he wasn’t open to any requests or discussions from Ash at that moment.

Expressing it in a more approachable manner: The bond between developers and the gaming community is currently at rock bottom, and this statement might even be too mild. After fans asked Tekken 8 to rectify some fundamental problems from the first season, Bandai Namco instead intensified the problematic game mechanics, which turned season 2 into a frustrating, difficult-to-play experience for everyone in the community.

As they gradually work to resolve several problems, such as a critical bug in the most recent DLC, Anna, players are expressing their dissatisfaction with the game’s current development trajectory, airing their grievances on various social platforms.

In some cases, constructive feedback has been provided, but a loud group of individuals have instead opted for personal attacks and excessive, disruptive behavior that negatively impacts the dialogue aimed at addressing and improving the game.

It seems that Harada has been on a widespread blocking rampage, including blocking Arslan Ash, leaving both of us equally bewildered about the reason behind this well-known Harada Twitter ban.

Some people are wondering if perhaps Harada employed an automatic blocking mechanism, while Arslan unfortunately found himself caught up in the ensuing conflict. Others argue that the issue might have been intentionally sent, given the developers of Tekken 8’s history of dismissing constructive criticism in the past.

Irrespective of the circumstances, it’s not beneficial for Harada to block a significant member of the Tekken community. Given the current state of the community, which is so poor that there are mods removing the Heat system from Tekken 8, Harada might want to address this issue openly.
