Fans have taken to the likes of X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok to question NetherRealm’s decision to market Mortal Kombat 1 as a $70 Switch release. It has been called “robbery” and “disrespectful” to users.

    Seriously, it’s a product for sale. Don’t like the price, vote with your wallet and don’t buy it. What’s with the manufactured outrage for every topic nowadays

      People are complaining because they don’t like a thing, that’s fine. Same as you’re complaining in this post. Call companies out on their bullshit. Also don’t buy bullshit, that’s a good point too.

        Because it doesn’t qualify as bullshit. Company made a product, set a price. Either you find it worth the price or not, but either way what’s the reason to kick up a fuss over an optional good

          Company also sold pre-orders for a product, which means people can’t really decide whether the product is exactly what they want until they get it. At which point they complain, because they trusted the company not to sell a sub-par product. What is your issue?

            ? The complaint right now is about the price, not the quality of the product. Are you saying they didn’t know the price when they preordered it?

            On a side note, preorders are a scam. If you’re dumb enough to preorder a game in unlimited supply, that’s on you.

              My guy, the complaint is about the price because of the quality. Or, as you are asking, are you saying people didn’t know the price when they bought it?

              On a side note, preorders are a scam. If you’re dumb enough to preorder a game in unlimited supply, that’s on you.

              I agree that pre-orders are a scam, but it’s shitty to say “you knew what you bought!” when some people literally couldn’t.

                I’m not saying they knew what they bought, I’m saying it’s on them for choosing to buy before they knew what they were buying. Seriously, people need to take responsibility for their choices already.

      I don’t think it’s “outrage”. It’s people making fun of the port on x and the website capitalizing on that to publish a story

        They’re calling it robbery and disrespectful. I’m not seeing where the joke is

          Crying at the Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1, Why didn’t they just wait for the next gen switch console, the fact it costs 70$ is robbery💀💀💀

          I think it’s clear that they’re not literally calling it a robbery, they’re just expressing their discontent in a twitter way.
