Warner Bros. Offers Free Fatalities to Address Mortal Kombat 1 Backlash

Warner Bros. Games is responding to backlash over the aggressive monetization in Mortal Kombat 1 by offering two "free" Fatalities to players who purchased the controversial $10 Halloween Fatality. The Seasonal Fatalities bundle, which includes the Halloween Fatality, a Thanksgiving Fatality, and an upcoming Winter Fatality, will be sold next week. While some see this as a step in the right direction, there is still widespread criticism of the freemium-style monetization in a game that players have already paid for. Warner Bros. has yet to announce the price for the bundle, but it is expected to be around $30.
