Maybe if they are already working on KP3 Fujin may be in it with Rain, Sindel and possibly Baraka even though the alien has his abilities now.

Do the right thing: refuse to buy Leatherface.

I wish I could manipulate events so that his sales figures were literally in two or three figures worldwide, just to give NRS a massive F U and make them realize what a mistake it was.

The others can and should sell pretty well, and even if I won't buy Alien I do understand the appeal, and especially with Predator. You have to try to be objective about these things.

...but f'ing Leatherface? No, just no. Do not buy.

It's pretty obvious they went with Leatherface to create more buzz with the casuals. Unfortunately all the casuals stopped playing a long time ago.

Because according to someone who works at NRS, WB also have a say in who becomes DLC and people keep buying shitty guest characters. So 2 + 2 = $$$

Yeah, Leatherface is definitely the result of WB meddling.
My mom liked Texas Chainsaw Massacre because it was partially based on a true story.
She's into crime/true crime stuff, not gore & violence.

I looked it up thismarnin. Been so long since I seen them, I forgot he had different masks. Wonder how that'll play into the variation.

Anyways, MK started with real life(Lin Kuei/White Lotus/Black Dragon), and movie references(Bruce Lee/Big Trouble in Little Chinatown/Bloodsport/etc...), so yeah...

Aside from Predator, he's probably one of the more fitting guests. Though I question his martial arts ability as much as Jason, and maybe Freddy...

Oh, I'm positive there will be some shitty boomerang styled chainsaw tossing, a lot of slashing around and stabbing like with Jason's machete. In other words, Jason with a chainsaw

So, its all about money for Leatherface/Alien/Jason/Predator, but them charging 4.99 for Fujin, Bo or some other MK character somehow changes that?

The price isn't the issue.

It's the fact that they knew core fans wanted other characters and were completely ignored in favor of bringing casuals back to the game because casuals can't resist guest characters. The casuals make up 90% of the game's sales. (Not an actual figure but I imagine it's close to that)

I don't think who the guests characters are is the relevant thing, but the quantity. Idk, it's like you buying an album you like but 4 soundtracks are from other artists. Some may like, some may hate, cuz they are buying something they like, and you usually want the full experience, so, if there were possibilities to put 4 soundtracks from the original artist, why put someone elses?

idk if I explained why the hate or just made the thing more confusing to you sorry

I feel like this isn't fully NRS' fault. WB's hands are touching the whole thing, and you know how companies can screw the artists' creativity over more selling products. To me it's like "ok we will give you the resources ($$$) to make another KP but you have to put X character so it can balance things (WB has to profit over it)" and NRS can't say no to that.
I blame WB for Leatherface
I blame casual speakerphone Maximilian and his constant shilling for an Alien
I blame the storymode writers for Baraka's overall part in this
I blame Boon for picking Bo Rai Cho instead of Fujin
I blame NRS in general for Triborg's terrible name.

Everyone gets some blame lol

I don't know what would make it worse; If one of the guests potentially took Fujin's spot or if they never even considered Fujin in the first place. LOL
Oh and to answer your question op this is why:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leatherface_(2016_film)

Gotta dredge up interest somehow and market this prequel movie.
I remember when people hated Fujin for being an Ermac clone. Airmac.
