It makes far more sense to include the guest character sooner rather than later, does it not? Boosting sales near launch is far more important than boosting sales later on in the game's life. They got the pre-order from the long time fans and people who were excited for Geralt, and now post-launch, they're gonna get people who were on the fence and also potentially fans of Nier Automata, including people who haven't even played SoulCalibur, and just want in to be able to play as 2B. It's a very smart business decision.So it's guest characters above legacy characters and it's one that has the same issues that I have with the Star Wars characters. If there ever is a season 2 for Soul Calibur in the future I will not buy it until I know what I'm paying for as I made the mistake of putting too much faith into Project Soul not to pull this jarring stunt again.
I would only agree with your point if the other two DLC characters are also guests, but I really doubt that will be the case.
