A MK game can do well without Scorpion and Sub-Zero and people who can't look past that aren't really true MK fans.
I love you, FJ, but this is just a pure bullshit statement.
To say that you have an opinion on something is fine, but to say that people who don't agree with you aren't true MK fans is BULLSHIT!
I've kollected every single MK game since MK 1 on my Sega Genesis, and am a huge fanatic of the series since day 1, and I'm one of the people that is of the mindset that Scorpion and Sub Zero = the Ken and Ryu of MK.
Every other character can be gone and MK will sell well as long as those 2 are in it.
Deadly Alliance and Deception are proof of that.
UMK3 is proof of that as well.
I, for one, wouldn't buy an MK game if it didn't have them in it.
To you it's "childish" because you don't agree with it, but to me it's voting with my wallet.
I didn't want Freddy Krueger and Kenshi in MK9, so I just didn't buy them.
I bought the compatibility packs that went with them.
Why should I be forced to buy something that I don't agree with?
So that people can put me in a box of what an MK fan SHOULD be, and say "You're not a true MK fan if __________"?
What gives?
I could see why you don't want them in, but be open other opinions too.
