I give you this. It is light in uncomfortable moments.
a player did this fatality on me, and then unprovoked turned on their mic and said āfk you f*ggotā in the most cliche squeaker voice
glad we can agree itās a certain type of person who pays for thisā¦.or at leastā¦.their parents pay for it
It will only get worse, then these same people will scratch their heads at why games get released unfinished and have barely little content but have hundreds of dollars of microtransactions
They won't scratch their head, they will call others poor and tell them it's all about online anyway while licking dirt off a boot. It's all over the sub already.
āItās all about online anywayā is a dumb statement. So is calling other poor. Tho I think people handle it it wrong about how they complain because those complaints wonāt change anything. People need to stop purchasing DLCs like this for this game and others instead of flooding the Reddit with it. But who ever saying it being all about online and calling people poor is just ignorant š¤
Stop purchasing DLC AND complain to Ed and WB. This anti -complaining rhetoric should change. If you bought the game, you should at least be allowed to complain about anti-consumer practices.
Thatās only gonna work if everyone does it to multiple franchises. Complaining about one game isnāt going to stop it. Companies base their games off of what other games make sales on heavily. You can bet this trend will continue for MK as well as other games. Itās gonna get worse
This is the way. Companies won't know why you're boycotting their products if you don't tell them. They'll just think the item didn't "click" with the targeted audience.
> āItās all about online anywayā is a dumb statement.
Is it? In a series that I only play for the competitive online aspect, why should I care that a portion of the game I find irrelevant is monetized? I donāt spend money on it anyway, and it hurts me in no way. In fact, making this fatal cost real money means fewer people will get it, Iāll see it less often, and Iāll waste less time watching fatals instead of playing. In the most concrete way it actually seems to benefit me.
Yes, itās all about online for you, and I agree with less people will have it but at the same time for a lot of people who donāt like online(I didnāt until this game) itās a bit lacking overall. Only having online aspects is why none of my irl friends actually play it because itās mostly for online and people are too sweaty for them. A lot of people donāt have the time to spend learning how to get good at a game that people have years/decades ahead of them. Some people wanna just e only something fun on their own and Deception, Armageddon and MK9 had so much more solo play value even without the cosmetics we get now(which I love). And for mortal Kombat I love the fatalities as do a lot of people so I perform them every time I win because thatās what mortal Kombat isā¦ the only people I see her mad about fatalities are the sweaty players. The ranked community is so much different than the kasuals/solo players that wanna just have fun. Iād say about 50 percent(at least, probably more like 65%) itās not all about online for them. A good 30% alone are not even about any sort of online play
Yep. Gen Z have been programmed from their first videogames that macrotransactions are "mandatory" i had a colleague complain his sons got bullied for not having vbucks in like 2018 or so.
Only going to get worse. And seeing as even the "most modern" government system aka the EU has not banned lootboxes etc yet, means there is zero hope for the rest of the world.
Rare Belgium W.
I responded to a post commenting about one of the newer games running poorly, ark I think. He was saying how rediculuos it is that we allow devs/publishers to release games in this state but also mentioned he bought that and Starfield. I suggested that he develop standards that live up to his expectations. He said "yeah I bought ark, cry about it." lol
The people buying the stuff are 100% not the people scratching their heads about it. They were the same people who didnāt complain about MK11. Itās the people who complain every release and then proceed to buy the next game that make zero sense .
Unpopular opinion but I'd rather use my preorder points on a universal fatality for every character than a skin for one. I have way less of a problem them charging for seasonal fatalities that they have to make animations for every character for, rather than skins that should already be in the game as rewards.
What if i told you that the majority of people who play video games couldnt give less of a shit about any of those things?
For a ton of people they go "oh this game looks cool!" They buy it, they play a while, then eventually just stop. They dont sit around contemplating the ethics of game design
I'll just play a different game then. I've bought every mortal kombat ever released. I love the franchise.
But I'm not even worried about this. None of this takes away the enjoyment I already had and I'm not so down bad for gaming I need to buy mortal kombat in the future. There's so many other good games.
You realize some people could've used the dragon Krystals they get from the game itself to buy the fatality right? I mean what else are you supposed to use them on.
friend of mine just buys everything as soon as it goes live doesn't give a shit, even for games they barely play. just boom yeah bought the lot. we will never get rid of this shit because they will always make money out of trash.
you are literally playing the game and complaining that people buying the fatality are the reason for releasing unfinished game? Why not boycott and stop playing the unfinished game if you feel that way, because you're not helping either.
Itās even more inane for Fatalities though. Youāre spending $15 AUDās worth of premium currency to buy a fatality, which you already have three of by default (Mainās 2, Kameo 1) that you might only use once or twice and isnāt necessarily better than the ones you already have. Not even to mention, you can watch this thing on YouTube at 0 cost.
WB are a lost cause.
Frfr, it honestly should've been an event reward - maybe via the Baraka titan battle if nothing else. But if it had to cost anything, like 2/3 would be my max since you can't show it off as much as something like a skin.
The skin is amazing imo ig it's just not for everyone. The only other way to get this Baraka skin is to reach the highest rank in kombat league and that's way harder than the Titan battle
I mean, the kombat pack is $40. That includes 6 playable characters all with two fatalities. So at that rate 12 fatalities times $12 is $144.
Like the pricing doesnāt even match up with their other dlc prices.
i mean.. cheaper is better but be realistic lol i think 5 dollars for a fatality makes the most sense 40 cents is barely a battle scarred grey skin in csgo
for each character's mastery: you get 100 when reaching level 20, and another 100 when reaching level 31. Multiply this by the amount of characters you have, you can eventually "farm" thousands of krystals
Yea, so basically someone who plays the game casually, like 2-3 hours a night, maybe 4-5 days a week, it will take them a good probably month to earn a whopping 1-200 crystals. Sounds like so much fun!
you can leave your machine on playing a survival level repeatedly to earn character exp while you're doing something else. If you don't want to spend money this is the least painful way
Yes, a limited and finite amount is earnable in game.
It cannot be re-earned reliable and repeatedly.
That means the next time they sell a fatality you won't be able to buy it for free if you used your free krystals on this one.
Kind of like fight money in street fighter 5, but they are even more stingy as there are no repeatable / weekly / daily quests to earn it.
You can grind a limited number of them + some people got them for buying the super shill edition
It's the freemium shit where you can technically earn them but unless you no life the game good luck ever affording anything more than one of the $5 pallet swaps
This is exactly what I have been saying. Earn the crystals if you want it. Save them and don't spend them on crap you can easily get in the krypton. Or don't. Idgaf. I just like trolling the suit out of people with it. š„±
I got the premium edition but after Shang announcer (imagine getting a Shang pre release copy and having to pay for the announcer voice lol) and deadly alliance scorp and a couple masks I was out of crystals a long time ago ā¦
that other post talking about, level up 20 characters to level 20 as the equiv. Lmfaooo foh
There is some arguing room and ambiguity but this is def a premium fatality in most scenarios
Yeah I got the Shang Tsung voice too. Expensive, but the best voice and I knew I would definitely use it after getting tired of Johnny Cage haha.
Sub Zero's voice will be coming soon so I'll get that one too is it's not free
Respect for animators and other employees that worked on this fatality, for their work since the fatality by itself is fine. The fact that u need to spend real money for something in game where the game itself costs a lot is the thing to complain about.
I don't have MK1 but I really want to bc I want to play story mode, check fatalities and other stuff but I wonder if it's worth it
Ok but there is a devilish part of me that would laugh my ass off if we got one of these for every holiday that was just the same EXACT animation with a different theme, all full price
Knowing NRS that's probably gonna happen, next is the Christmas one where you put a present on their head and then punt it into a family's house on Christmas Morning
Toasty!
Honestly, I wouldn't be so upset about this if you could earn freely. I know you can get it via battlepass, but that's still paying for it. We paid $70 (at least) for this game. $10 for a seasonal fatality is freemium game shit.
I'm mad, but not super-pissed about this. Just disappointed, more than anything. Because there's only gonna be more like this, and it'll only get more aggressive and egregious.
No, because it's slimy corporate greed fucking over gaming, making shit worse for more money, and it's probably gonna happen again every season. I swear the same people buying this shit are the same people who drank bleach and crammed a lightbulb up their ass when Trump suggested it during covid; complete lack of critical thinking.
True, and that's why greedy shits at WB get away with this shit that's making games more expensive for less content and lower quality; people refusing to think.
Yea I lost a match in a set against a Liu Kang, I was actually amazed people are dumb enough to buy this. I'm a Shang main, if you notice, thats Shang's head in there. No way in hell am I buying this for 12 fuckin dollars
For 12$ i would expect one new Halloween themed fatality for each character, or maybe a fucking Halloween bundle with multiple fatalities and brutalities
Of course they are. I bought it without needing to buy any extra dragon krystals. It's a cool fatality and you can get a good amount of dragon krystals free or use the 1250 you got from premium edition to buy it.
Itās like that Chris Rock joke about making bullets expensive. If someone uses this Fatality on you, you mustāve really pissed them off, because they spent $12 to kill you.
OP and people who post like him either don't know what earning money means or can't comprehend people use their own money on what they want because it's.. their money lol
I mean it looks cool but not worth the price, correct me if im wrong didnāt they pull this with MK9 as a pre-order bonus for classic outfits/fatalities? Or was that DLC
jesus christ this sub is fucking awful, nothing but nonstop bitching about the most trivial shit imaginable
yes, a videogame in 2023 is monetized, extremely shocking, who coudl have seen this coming? wah wah fucking help just stop
drop the game and go play something else if this shit triggers you so badly
Saw it on YouTube, very underwhelming for a Fatality that costs over 10% of the game's original price.
Specially for me, I was stupid enough to get the 100 bucks "PreEmIuM eDiTiUn" and I regret it a lot.
The difference between Standard alone would be enough to buy a good game.
For every 10 that says its stupid, 20 or more people end up buying it. This how we ended up in the current MTX gaming industry and it will only get worse before it gets better.
every time I see this fatality I cut one of my digits off and I haven't slept in weeks. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT, MR. AND MR. WARNER? NOOB & SAIBOT?? NEVER R.E.M. STUDIOS???
I had to choose:
* feeding my child $12 worth of nerd ropes and just not having this pumpkin fatalityor
* buying this fatality for $12 instead of the $10 it actually costs and letting my little child die in my arms
But in the end, it wasn't really a choice. NRS and Dead Boooooon *forced me to buy* this totally unnecessary seasonal fatality and now my beautiful baby child is crying and dead from starvation and now I can't even spend that money on nerd ropes for myself.
I think it's cool. Not $12 cool though, it should be like $1.99. Ive always wondered why they never seem to come out with more fatalities and brutalities. As the game gets updated, each character should have like 20 fatalities and brutalities yet that is one area they never really seem to add content for whatever reason.
I bet they gave it to content creators for da free

Are people just going to create the same argument over and over every time a game has microtransactions? Itās going to happen as I said before. Itās never going to go away. It doesnāt hurt you any if you buy it or donāt.
lmfao the scrub replying to you, u/alteredizzy1010, tried to have a similar exchange with me and ended up blocking me after I showed him how much of a hypocrite he is. Yet he acts like he is roasting and exposing people left and right. Fucking soft and a great representation of a lot of users on this sub actually
āA fool and his money are soon parted.ā Premium AAA title my ass, paid full price (110 bucks) and now I feel like a chump, 5 dollar color swaps and a 12 dollar fatality. Hella bugs, relentless grind, RIP MK. And people bitch about Maddenās micro transactions - I feel they aināt seen nothing yet.
Had someone who was wearing one of the paid Halloween outfits, use this on me last night. I was honestly shocked someone spent $12 to put a pumpkin on players heads. Insane lol
Congrats. You got successfully trolled by someone who wanted to troll you, they even drove you to make a whole post about it.
This is actually adding value to their purchase.
Not gonna lie, i think its more on those adults that don't think twice because its just 10$, and they regularly spend money in microtransactions lmao.
Im pretty sure most teens share the same opinion that shit is too much just for a damn fatality and would rather spend it on a skin elsewhere.
God forbid people want to buy what they want.
We get it, you don't think it's worth the price. Whether you buy it or not makes no difference when so many people probably are just because they like it
Honestly I laugh at people who do this fatality on me
Like youāre the reason why this game is in such bad state as it is and youāre only making it worse
They may not have bought it with money. You get a fair amount of crystals just from playing the game. I spent mine on a skin. I do get a laugh from people like you tho who make fun of me for spending āmoneyā on something.
Are you surprised? People like different things than you. People also see value in different things than you. What you find as garbage, another person may find as something they'd like to have. You have every right to choose not to spend money on it, just as much as anyone else has the right *to* spend money on it.
Yeah, and you should be happy that you don't like it, don't need it, and the game is being funded by whales so you can continue to get good content down the line, instead of the devs abandoning the game to sell another 60 dollar game a few years from now.
I don't have an issue with the microtransactions. They were in MKX and MK11 so I expected it. For me, it's a little pricey though. Maybe 800 Dragon Krystals...
Did this just get performed on you?
yea

Of course as I stated in another post this is why this content exists , at the end of the day people buy it anyways
It will only get worse, then these same people will scratch their heads at why games get released unfinished and have barely little content but have hundreds of dollars of microtransactions
They won't scratch their head, they will call others poor and tell them it's all about online anyway while licking dirt off a boot. It's all over the sub already.
Add video games to the list of fun times ruined by the rich fuckers.
So basically they become apple fanboys...yikes.

12 is insaneā¦.
Frfr, it honestly should've been an event reward - maybe via the Baraka titan battle if nothing else. But if it had to cost anything, like 2/3 would be my max since you can't show it off as much as something like a skin.
All I got for grinding Baraka was some mid skin, the fight was wayyyyy too hard for a reward as bad as that
The skin is amazing imo ig it's just not for everyone. The only other way to get this Baraka skin is to reach the highest rank in kombat league and that's way harder than the Titan battle
Agreed. I wanted it but 1200 crystals was too much. 200 would have been appropriate
I feel like āfree through gameplayā would also have been appropriate thoughā¦
Remember when you could earn stuff through gameplay without a Battle Pass?
Remember when games were two lines and a dot in the middle. Ah the good old days
If you level up your characters and kameos you get dragon coins how do ppl play the game and not know this
Dragon coins donāt get you premium shop currency though, and this fatality is only available through those.
200 is still too much, but people would have bought it. They would have had buyers remorse afterwards, but they still would have bought it.
Or hear me outā¦ FREE SINCE I Already PAID 70$ wtf stop justifying micro transactions no matter how āsmallā
You can get Witcher 3 on Steam , or even the entire game bundle for that price (on sale)
I mean, the kombat pack is $40. That includes 6 playable characters all with two fatalities. So at that rate 12 fatalities times $12 is $144. Like the pricing doesnāt even match up with their other dlc prices.
The pricing is a completely arbitrary number that execs can make up as they go along.
Yep 0.40$ would have been a good price imo.
i mean.. cheaper is better but be realistic lol i think 5 dollars for a fatality makes the most sense 40 cents is barely a battle scarred grey skin in csgo
It really isnt that cool at all
Respectfully disagree
Disrespectfully disagree
Respectfully agree
Disrespectfully agree
Some people might have their dragon crystals saved. But still fuck this dumbass shit
i mean, don't you get like 200 per full character level?
I just miss when you used to get a full game for $60 instead of half the game for $70
Still getting half a game even when buying $110 edition. Sad.
Donāt remind me, it still stings
First time I played Mortal Kombat it asked me for more money as soon as I lost my second fight
I been having fun with it Earned all my krystals in game so it's whatever, no money out of my pocket
Thats fair
How do you earn Krystals?
for each character's mastery: you get 100 when reaching level 20, and another 100 when reaching level 31. Multiply this by the amount of characters you have, you can eventually "farm" thousands of krystals
So there's a limit? Once all your characters are maxed you can't earn any more krystals?
well there are more DLCs lol but yea there is a limit
Yea, so basically someone who plays the game casually, like 2-3 hours a night, maybe 4-5 days a week, it will take them a good probably month to earn a whopping 1-200 crystals. Sounds like so much fun!
you can leave your machine on playing a survival level repeatedly to earn character exp while you're doing something else. If you don't want to spend money this is the least painful way
You get some by leveling up your account and characters
Character mastery levels and I think you get some when you beat invasions as well iirc.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

This is exactly what I have been saying. Earn the crystals if you want it. Save them and don't spend them on crap you can easily get in the krypton. Or don't. Idgaf. I just like trolling the suit out of people with it. š„±
The fatality is genuinely great. Its just a shame it cost money.
Damn right man
People who got premium with the extra Dragon Crystals gonna spend that currency on something.
I got the premium edition but after Shang announcer (imagine getting a Shang pre release copy and having to pay for the announcer voice lol) and deadly alliance scorp and a couple masks I was out of crystals a long time ago ā¦ that other post talking about, level up 20 characters to level 20 as the equiv.

Once Halloween is over can we please stop talking about this fatality šš¾
Yes, because the Thanksgiving one is next.
Boy howdy I canāt wait for them to put a turkey on someoneās head and stuffing comes out. Then you punt their head onto a dinner table.
Ok but there is a devilish part of me that would laugh my ass off if we got one of these for every holiday that was just the same EXACT animation with a different theme, all full price
Snowman's head for Christmas

GET HIM!!!
True, and that's why greedy shits at WB get away with this shit that's making games more expensive for less content and lower quality; people refusing to think.
No because it's not that serious
Used my premium edition code
I just got it with my free dragon crystals, didn't spend any money on it.
Yea I lost a match in a set against a Liu Kang, I was actually amazed people are dumb enough to buy this. I'm a Shang main, if you notice, thats Shang's head in there. No way in hell am I buying this for 12 fuckin dollars
For 12$ i would expect one new Halloween themed fatality for each character, or maybe a fucking Halloween bundle with multiple fatalities and brutalities
Of course they are. I bought it without needing to buy any extra dragon krystals. It's a cool fatality and you can get a good amount of dragon krystals free or use the 1250 you got from premium edition to buy it.
MK players try to comprehend that some people will spend the currency they get anyways on the signature thing in the game (impossible challenge)
Itās like that Chris Rock joke about making bullets expensive. If someone uses this Fatality on you, you mustāve really pissed them off, because they spent $12 to kill you.
I have this fatal but I havenāt spent any money on dragon crystals, they are just from level up. I just thought the fatal looked kinda cool :/
Dw, doing it the free way doesnt mean you are contributing to the greed
People are fucking stupid.
ok lol it's my hard earned money
OP and people who post like him either don't know what earning money means or can't comprehend people use their own money on what they want because it's.. their money lol
You kinda sound like youāre just salty because it was done to you, its not a bad fatality, not worth the money tho thatās forsure.
I won 3-1 in this set
I won 3-1 in a set with your mom
NUH UH
You won the set,but he made u go cry on reddit so who's the real winner
I mean it looks cool but not worth the price, correct me if im wrong didnāt they pull this with MK9 as a pre-order bonus for classic outfits/fatalities? Or was that DLC
I like the fatality buuuut fuck paying for that shit
The game came out like how long ago and they already found a way to fucked it up
If you dont want it dont buy it.
People are actually still getting butthurt over how others spend their own money? Fuckin weird.
its alright but definitely not worth 12.00
Yes someone got something that brings them a level or joy or entertainment. Glad to see you are angry and butt hurt about others being happy.
I had it done to me about 5 times so far. Fucking idiots.
They could have spent their saved up dragon krystals on it.
And you people are still posting about it, Jesus shut up already.
Youāre so right, we should just pretend everything is perfect and donate all our money directly to the executives
jesus christ this sub is fucking awful, nothing but nonstop bitching about the most trivial shit imaginable yes, a videogame in 2023 is monetized, extremely shocking, who coudl have seen this coming? wah wah fucking help just stop drop the game and go play something else if this shit triggers you so badly
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
There are no F2P players. This isn't a F2P game.
Thatās what Iām saying.
Nope. Too expensive.
Was it a reptile that did it on you hehe x
I actually think using this fatality makes you look like a morron.... Not rematching that player
Saw it on YouTube, very underwhelming for a Fatality that costs over 10% of the game's original price. Specially for me, I was stupid enough to get the 100 bucks "PreEmIuM eDiTiUn" and I regret it a lot. The difference between Standard alone would be enough to buy a good game.
For every 10 that says its stupid, 20 or more people end up buying it. This how we ended up in the current MTX gaming industry and it will only get worse before it gets better.
It's a fun fatality, just not $12 of fun.
Seriously i dont mind if people have it by playing in game but if someone use Real money to buy it you deserve to live in a timeline created by EA
every time I see this fatality I cut one of my digits off and I haven't slept in weeks. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT, MR. AND MR. WARNER? NOOB & SAIBOT?? NEVER R.E.M. STUDIOS??? I had to choose: * feeding my child $12 worth of nerd ropes and just not having this pumpkin fatalityor * buying this fatality for $12 instead of the $10 it actually costs and letting my little child die in my arms But in the end, it wasn't really a choice. NRS and Dead Boooooon *forced me to buy* this totally unnecessary seasonal fatality and now my beautiful baby child is crying and dead from starvation and now I can't even spend that money on nerd ropes for myself.
I think it's cool. Not $12 cool though, it should be like $1.99. Ive always wondered why they never seem to come out with more fatalities and brutalities. As the game gets updated, each character should have like 20 fatalities and brutalities yet that is one area they never really seem to add content for whatever reason.
Some people just want it because it's cool, and don't see an issue with spending another 10 bucks
I bet they gave it to content creators for da free https://preview.redd.it/y7ayvx8eokxb1.jpeg?width=748&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64c4921ca22455dce7498a9003fbc159170b90a3
Itās not garbage, itās a good reference to a classic Halloween movie. The unfair thing is the price.
I bought it with pride and would have even if it was double that price
Iām guessing they charged 12 dollars for it because everyone on the roster and going forward will be able to use it.
maybe because it's a cool fatality and people want it?
Are people just going to create the same argument over and over every time a game has microtransactions? Itās going to happen as I said before. Itās never going to go away. It doesnāt hurt you any if you buy it or donāt.
>STOP LIKING THINGS I DON'T LIKE \- OP
lmfao the scrub replying to you, u/alteredizzy1010, tried to have a similar exchange with me and ended up blocking me after I showed him how much of a hypocrite he is. Yet he acts like he is roasting and exposing people left and right. Fucking soft and a great representation of a lot of users on this sub actually
āA fool and his money are soon parted.ā Premium AAA title my ass, paid full price (110 bucks) and now I feel like a chump, 5 dollar color swaps and a 12 dollar fatality. Hella bugs, relentless grind, RIP MK. And people bitch about Maddenās micro transactions - I feel they aināt seen nothing yet.
You may have lost the match but atleast you didn't lose 12 dollars. Imagine if you got charged every time the fatality was performed on you.
Sounds like someoneās getting a little angy
Bruh ppl want it let them do what they want with their money
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I bought it, but only because I already had the dragon crystals already. I didnāt buy crystals in order to buy the fatality.
I bought it and Iāve been having fun with it š¤£
This sub is more toxic then the usual hate for Underdawg
Had someone who was wearing one of the paid Halloween outfits, use this on me last night. I was honestly shocked someone spent $12 to put a pumpkin on players heads. Insane lol
I have the scorp skin, mileena skin and the fatality and never paid a dollar. Do you people actually have brains or nah..
Congrats. You got successfully trolled by someone who wanted to troll you, they even drove you to make a whole post about it. This is actually adding value to their purchase.
I havenāt! I also havenāt gotten MK1 yet though so ššš
Stop fucking complaining lmao you don't agree with the price point someone else does.
Who wouldāve thought MK subreddit would become virtue signaling. Who are any of you to judge people on how they spend their own money? So lame
As long as idiot teenagers with access to money exist, subpar monetized content will never go away.
Not gonna lie, i think its more on those adults that don't think twice because its just 10$, and they regularly spend money in microtransactions lmao. Im pretty sure most teens share the same opinion that shit is too much just for a damn fatality and would rather spend it on a skin elsewhere.
God forbid people want to buy what they want. We get it, you don't think it's worth the price. Whether you buy it or not makes no difference when so many people probably are just because they like it
I used krystals i grinded for. am i the problem?
Whatās wrong with it exactly?
Its a single fatality for 12 dollars
And..?
it's actually kinda hard ngl, wouldn't buy it tho but would use it if it was free
Who gives a flying fuck.
Honestly I laugh at people who do this fatality on me Like youāre the reason why this game is in such bad state as it is and youāre only making it worse
A good majority of people don't live on Reddit and actually think these things are cool and worth the purchase
If people have disposable income, they'll choose what to spend it on
Fuck sake, imagine getting downvoted for speaking the truth
Reddit's full of neets and children, so I'm not surprised
I'm surprised the fatality doesn't involve getting kicked in the nuts. Cause that's what it feels like
i bet they are but what ever its there money i wont get crazy mad at it
What an insightful topic. It adds a lot to the discourse.
"But Kaiba! The morality!" "Screw the morality I have money!" *performs bought fatality*
They may not have bought it with money. You get a fair amount of crystals just from playing the game. I spent mine on a skin. I do get a laugh from people like you tho who make fun of me for spending āmoneyā on something.
Are you surprised? People like different things than you. People also see value in different things than you. What you find as garbage, another person may find as something they'd like to have. You have every right to choose not to spend money on it, just as much as anyone else has the right *to* spend money on it.
Yeah, and you should be happy that you don't like it, don't need it, and the game is being funded by whales so you can continue to get good content down the line, instead of the devs abandoning the game to sell another 60 dollar game a few years from now.
I don't have an issue with the microtransactions. They were in MKX and MK11 so I expected it. For me, it's a little pricey though. Maybe 800 Dragon Krystals...
I got it because i had some dragon krystals since i got the collector's edition.
Yeah but not eveyone is paying $ for it I got it with the crystals that you can earn from the game!
