yeah, man, I understand perfectly why some fans are disappointed, and full of hate, I don't blame them ....
But, people need to chill out, calm down and take easy this Freddy stuff, is not mandatory, is not hurting the rest of the game already made, and so, he is just another guest as Kratos, that, who hate Freddy, can just ignore him , or let him alone and forgoten ..... until August 9th, I'm sure people will accept the idea better, and, at least, try him for fun, for curiosity purpose .....
I think that , somehow, NRS are testing the fans : if they deny , in mass, to buy Freddy or download him, they will know that fans hated the idea, but, could not stand light a simple joke, and maybe this will be a frustrating disapointment for NRS to invest in more DLC ......... maybe they are thinking : "OK, we did 3 characters for the fans, but, they cannot accept a joke character, that, even not fitting MK, is still violent and gruesome enough to fit, at least, the gore and violence the game propose to have ...... so, why not the fans just cannot accept a funny joke, harmless one, just a little ?"
