Of course, a bad port hurts the brand no matter who makes the decision. But the conversation always seems to float back to the whole, "NRS is responsible for everything" propaganda, and its just not true.

Yes, I know NRS and WB aren't the same thing, but there are plenty of people saying the fault lies with High Voltage (or whatever the third party is called) since they messed up the port, meaning WB and NRS are in the clear. Thats pretty stupid. If anything, point at WB for their fucked up decision making and abandoning PC players for a product they are ultimately responsible for.

Not one person has said WB are in the clear. But NRS had nothing to do with the port. This is a fact. By all means, fling shit over the decision to abandon the PC, but at least have the courtesy to fling it in the right direction.

So outsourcing fell to WB, but NRS demanded High Voltage be removed from porting and they subsequently were. So who is in charge exactly? You seem to be contradicting yourself. If poor little NRS had no say over the quality of a PC port why wasn't High Voltage retained? Why would WB take any consideration into what NRS suggests? If NRS had no connection to a PC port, why even make any suggestion to WB on who should or shouldn't port in the first place?

Sounds like a cop out to me.

NRS are behind MK. Warner Bros are really just the money men. Why do so many of you complain to Ed Boon and everyone else at NRS if they're powerless when it comes to the game they wrote, designed, tested, etc. Shouldn't all your bitching about characters, guests, stages, costumes, the story line, etc. be directed to Warner Bros.?

Guys, this really isnt a debate. It's not a question. WB owns the MK IP just like they own DC. They will own MK for decades to come, just like they will own DC. When Ed Boon retires WB will hand MK over to other developers to reboot it once every 10 years, just like they do with DC media.

PC players are getting screwed by WB. If you keep questioning this fact, you're only wasting time and energy that could be spent drawing attention to WB's bad practices. But if you'd rather repeatedly post on a forum that those responsible will never look at about how Ed Boon is the illuminati of MK, go for it, playa.

I don't like Street Fighter, never have. Tekken is pretty cool though.



The average gamer has a lot more cash to throw around than i do. I got my 360 third- or fourth-hand about 3 years ago for £25.
Ultimately, decisions that exclude the minorities will be bad for business, since all those minorities make up the community - in this case, the MK fanbase. So for those of us left behind with an afterthought and a weak apology, we're now turning against the company for their bad business practises, because it's hard NOT to take being left by the wayside personally. Why support a company that breaks promises and ritually discontinues support for good customers?

Alienating a segment of a focus group because of poor management isn't without its price. Thinking that the consumer doesn't have to like it is not a very smart move for a company, bad rep builds up in the long run and NRS will inevitably be affected by this in one way or another, no matter if the blame isn't justifiable.
