if there's a time for a controversy around him to happen, it would be rn, I would love for them to have to scramble around and make a "universes within" version of his character lmao
and that doesn’t change the fact that a real life man in the character select screen of this game paid a real life woman hush money and made her sign a real life NDA to silence her on the real life reasons why so she couldn’t file real life sexual assault charges against him
This shit was inevitable when SNK Playmore got bought out by the Saudis. I figured we'd immediately get more releases and sequels but with so much bull shit tacked on, and lo and behold, we get a pro soccer player shoehorned in as a guest character and glorified advertisement.
They should've pandered to only fighting games fans instead of people who couldn't care less about the genre and only cared about it because one famous person is in it. Is it bad to think that it reminds me of Megan Fox as Nitara? Where they shoehorn in someone famous despite not fitting the role?
My take is this:
1. Don't put real people into these kinds of games! Not in this capacity. No matter who, it's weird and a big risk!
2. If ignoring point 1, have a contingency plan for if/when things go south.
Misk be damned, SNK better have a "Ronald Christian" back-up waiting in the wings lol
Yea... this whole thing kinda killed any excitement I had for the game. I was *really* looking forward to it, but now I almost don't want to even keep up anymore.
Yeah, I think this one guest character that broke the line. Like, what I expected (and what SNK should have done) is a character based on Ronaldo, instead of actually putting ronaldo. Now you have a giant elephant in the room.
