Well, it was technically given away with the kollectors edition of MK:A. Maybe it should be a Kollectors/Tourney edition bonus. And I guarantee a lot of people have spent money on this game, myself included, but it is nostalgia. No need to get up in arms because YOU paid for it. Look out for the rest of the fans as well who might have not gotten the chance to play this game in the arcades/cant download it for live anymore/dont wanna play a pocket sized version.
Um, yeah. They started the series, they brought the series to prominence, I dont know why you would forget about that because a new game is coming out and stop playing the old games as a fan of MK. No matter what, nothing will make MK as popular as it was back then. They may come close, but they wont meet or surpass the popularity from the past. Just my opinion.
