** Tatsh was one of the sound directors for ''IIDX'' up to ''[=DistorteD=]'' in 2006. Years later, after he left Konami and would only contribute songs as a commission artist going forward, he would contribute songs to ''VideoGame/PumpItUp'' and ''VideoGame/EZ2DJ'', two games that Konami ''filed lawsuits'' over.

** The songs removed from one style to another tend to upset fans, since instead of focusing on songs that fan don't like, Konami focuses on songs by artists that no longer work for them. Music by Slake, Naoki and Akira Yamaoka are few and far between.[[note]]Akira Yamaoka now works for Suda 51 while Slake and Naoki left Konami to contribute to ''VideoGame/CrossBeats''. This has led to Konami scrubbing their songs from BEMANI games and ''face'' in the case of Naoki.[[/note]]

* GrowingTheBeard: Early DoublePlay charts were simply not designed for single-player play, often introducing patterns that are meant more for two-player CoOpMultiplayer instead. It wasn't until the fifteenth main installment of ''IIDX'', ''DJ TROOPERS'', that the dev team really started making charts that are much better-quality for Double Play.

** The Random modifier. If you're not using it, you're apparently a {{Scrub}} who's preventing themselves from practicing optimally. If you're using it, you're apparently a cheater for trying to make charts easier (especially charts with scale patterns) and relying on [[LuckBasedMission luck]] to get easy patterns.

Unlike other old rhythm game arguments such as using speed modifiers (''VideoGame/GuitarHero'', ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'') or using the bar (''DDR''), this has ''not'' died out and people still argue about using Random to this day.

* WinBackTheCrowd: For years, American ''IIDX'' players had been growing increasingly pessimistic about playing in the United States due to the rather complicated regional settings locking them out of a number of features that other regions have...until January 2020, when Konami brought over Lightning Model cabinets ''with US-specific builds''.
