WWE 2K20: 10 Reasons To Be Worried

9. The Fiend Is Effectively DLC

Bray Wyatt's new 'Fiend' character is one of the most visceral gimmicks to come along in years. The mix of creepy children's TV show host, nightmarish snorting beast and everything in between has made Wyatt a hot topic again, and his momentum shows no sign of slowing for the rest of the year.

Gamers will be eager to play as the 'Fiend' then, but they'll have to pay extra for the privilege. Wyatt's new guise, Halloween mask and all, will be hidden behind a pay wall in 2K20. He's part of a special 'Bump In The Night' pre-order pack, meaning anyone hoping to attack legends and cause mayhem will have to fork over a bit more cash.

Bummer.

This makes sense from a business perspective, but it's a worrying trend to lock customers out from established main roster wrestlers. New gimmick or not, it's still Bray Wyatt, and it's not cool to stuff him behind the counter away from those who can't afford to pre-order or buy after the fact as DLC.
