And yet they did, and our games got fucked, and yes it's your fault because the demands for such came straight from your side. You will never, ever, EVER admit fault on this and that is why I don't want you back.

Because Koei Tecmo are cowardly ESG cocksuckers, they simply don't release Dead or Alive games in the west any more. A few journo hit pieces was all it took for them to just tell their whole western base to fuck off. The same company that formerly made Marie Rose just to mock moralfags in Sweden. They sabotaged the Ciel/Ar Nosurge rereleases as well in the same way (locking them to Japan-only even though Ar Nosurge ALREADY HAD a translation available, and of course just stubbornly refusing to translate Ciel Nosurge) so you can expect they'll do this for any game with substantial fanservice. Look at the absolute state of modern GUST for a good example of Koei Kekmo's new stance on fanservice. Just pirate it, KT doesn't deserve a dime, they deserve to go under.

The DOA Prism region-lock was entirely Koei Tecmo's decision. Steam's policies are global and if you're approved for one region, barring regional law (e.g., Germany), you're cleared for all, and vice versa. I think it's the same with Sony. Koei Tecmo has been very deliberately avoiding western releases for Dead or Alive since Xtreme 3 I believe. I'm not fond of it and I think they're being pussies and kneecapping sales potential for one of their most famous series for a dumb reason.
