"Mortal Kombat 1 Responds to Halloween DLC Backlash with Free Fatalities"

After facing backlash for expensive Halloween microtransactions in Mortal Kombat 1, NetherRealm Studios has announced that players who purchased the pricey Halloween fatality will receive two additional fatalities for free. The Seasonal Fatalities bundle, which includes Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Winter-themed finishers, will be available for purchase. Fans criticized the game's monetization efforts, calling them "greedy business practices." While some see the offer of three fatalities for the price of one as a good deal, others argue that the overall cost is still too high. Expensive monetization has become a common practice in both free and paid games, with cosmetics often locked behind expensive paywalls.
