Bottom line... IT'S A BUSINESS. You have to make people pay for things to make money. Why not complain that the game was $60 instead of $40, or the Kollector's Edition was over $100 instead of $75 for an art book and book ends?

Seriously people, let it go. Everyone always wants s free hand out. Stop complaining so much, buy it if you want it, don't buy it if you don't think it's worth it. Who cares? Quit being babies.

Content that you've already paid for, and if you hacked your own personal copy of this game you'd have unlocked in seconds. Nothing is being downloaded here at all. All of the fatality files and classical costumes are already there on your copy of the game that you've already paid for, but it's locked away until you pay even more for it.

I suggest you read the EULA. We don't own anything. We have paid for the right to use the game. Everything on the disc is still owned by WB.

McNasty Wrote:
are you talking about the fact that is already on the disk and Boon said there would be free DLC? Who cares? It's a business. Honestly, if you had the opportunity to charge people with more content, wouldn't you?

How is the play data for Kintaro and Shao Khan any different to this?

Zentile Wrote:
What exactly is your problem? Clearly the content is not "already on the disk" or you'd be able to use all the classic costumes and fatalities without paying for anything.

Would you prefer if they didn't include all the stuff in the disk and then sold it, would that make you feel better?

....ALL for free and you guys actually have the AUDACITY to complain and moan for 5$ costumes that don't really add to the enjoyment of the game?

EULAs don't work like that and do not hold up in court in regards to a tangible object.

Law precedent has established that the game disc is yours and you are free to do whatever you want with it as long as it does not infringe on the copyright of the publisher.

Everything on that disc is fair game to be hacked, cracked, and manipulated as its owner sees fit for personal use.

It's nice to see the Pessimist-Optimist Dichotomy has come in to play here. It's a product I bought with my own money man, if there is anything about this product that I dislike or diagree with I've the right to complain about it just as much as you have the right to get so easily offended by my complaints.

And yes, I am making a complaint about the DLC because as proven with the pre-patch classic fatalitys, all of that data is there on the disc right now as we speak with no need for additional tweaking or modification. I couldn't give a fuck about a business perspective and what works better for NRS's sales because I don't work there, but as a paying customer I don't like the idea of being ripped off for paying additional money for locked data.

Fair? Probably not, but considering you can encounter 4 of these purchasable outfits for free in the ladder mode/challenge tower I find it a bit distasteful that we're not actually paying for a brand new download but merely paying to unlock something that's technically already there.

Kintaro and Shao Khan are two examples I stated because you'd actually need to download their character icons and places for the main roster in the ladder and tag modes, plus you'd need the additional data for tweaking them for casual gameplay and presumably their alternate costumes too. There's nothing to download here though. Those Retro models are merely just cosmetic outfits that are already there, present, and the CPU can use them perfectly with no problem. They're not like Khan or Skarlet who'd be taking up a whole new icon on the select screen, it's just a cosmetic difference applied to a character who's data is already on the disc. In my mind it makes no sense to pay for something that is in no way shape or form a new addition to the game's content, since this was all developed and included when the game was being created.

Did I once say that I can personally hack my own game? No, I didn't, so chill the fuck out there buddy. I just said it's possible, and for the very reasons you stated. It was well known when this game was released in South America that the Classic Fatality's your now paying for were included on your standard copy of the game, until NRS found out about it, and decided to lock that information in a patch until you paid extra to have it back. I'm assuming you know that yeah? Do not lecture me on what I personally buy a video game for kid, you don't know me at all.

I'd feel better if these weren't just 2 costumes with various colors. Even making Kitana's fans into full metal fans I'd feel better. Or heck making Kitana / Mileena / Jade have an additional MK2 costume would be a plus.

These reskins just feel lazy.
