In the words of Thanos, “Fine, I’ll do it myself.” You see, not too long ago, Bandai Namco released a closed test of the upcoming Tekken 8 to do some trial and error with the internet side of the game. It’s very standard stuff, and gamers like to help the developers do these tests to improve the game and get some hands-on before lots of other people do. However, when the test ends, that’s supposed to be the end of the line. However, on PC, gamers cracked the game and played it without hesitation.
One man who wasn’t amused by that in the slightest is the Tekken 8 Director, Katsuhiro Harada. At first, Bandai Namco released a statement saying that if you, the player, keep using a cracked version of the game, you could get banned from official paying tournaments, as using the cracked version gives you an unfair advantage in playtime. However, a pro player named Joe Crushed decided to do a live stream of the game in its cracked form, so Harada pulled a Thanos and did the work himself.
He entered the stream under his official account and called out the “Cracker.” As you probably guessed, many people weren’t sure what was going on, and some people felt that this wasn’t Harada at all but merely someone using his name or even hacking his account to make that post.
