Tekken 8 director responds to threats about Eddy Gordo

Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada says that threats regarding the inclusion of Eddy Gordo in the upcoming fighting game will cause "the motivation of the development staff [to] decrease rapidly." The developer says that comments from some Tekken 8 fans can result in increased event security and responses from "company founders, board members, and lawyers." Harada's response comes as we await the Tekken 8 release date, and the next generation of the Bandai Namco beat-'em-up.
