Tekken 8 players are getting banned before release for playing illegal beta

As if no one in the fighting game community (FGC) could see it coming, Bandai Namco is today threatening to ban players after an illegal version of Tekken 8’s recent closed network test client was passed around online.

The PC test, which ran from July 28 to 30, was the first chance for many to test out T8 while Bandai used the opportunity to gather data and stress test the game’s netcode. Unfortunately, since it was a PC test, that means certain parties were also able to save all of the files for the test client and get it working outside of the intended usage period.
