DOA Producer Asks PC Modders to not mod the new game

Dead or Alive: Last Round is coming to PC next month, but if modders do unsavory things with its characters, the franchise may not appear on PC again.

“We have to deal with mod issues from an IP holder perspective,” said Koei Tecmo producer Yosuke Hayashi to MCV. “We would like to ask PC users to play our game in good and moral manner. Otherwise, we won’t be able to release a title for PC again.”

Hayashi didn’t further explain what he meant by “moral,” though he later elaborated on Dead or Alive’s traditionally attractive, scantily-clad fighters.

“Our characters, male and female alike, are created in a fantasy setting and are using extraordinary abilities to compete with each other in a clearly light-hearted, over-the-top universe,” Hayashi said. “Their abilities are very balanced and we want to present all of them as dynamic, strong, sexy, and confident.”

Dead or Alive: Last Round was recently delayed on Steam from February 17 to March 30. To make up for the delay, if you buy the game on steam, you’ll receive the Halloween 2013 set, which included 28 costumes.
