Mortal Kombat 1 will be playable five days early for players who buy the fighting game’s Premium Edition.
That’s according to modder and reverse engineer Thethiny, who noticed that Steam has updated its Mortal Kombat 1 store listing to confirm that for those prepared to pay for the fancy edition, they’ll get playable character Shang Tsung and five days early access, starting from 14th September.
I don’t understand these “perks”.
So the game is done and could be released earlier. But just let people give some FOMO and pay extra so they can play “sooner”.
Sometimes I just wish games were like in the past. They released a full game, get some patches to improve. Throw in some extras for free if you’re lucky. And DLC were actual expansion packs that could practically be a whole new game.
The shift in mobile gaming in how developers / publishers could nickel & dime different features seeped into paid content. The separation was most of these games were free-to-play or at least ad-supported.
Now, it’s just a double-dip. The filthy casuals will wait while the dedicated fans will pony up their wallets if they want a better product. The one that infuriates me most is exclusive or pre-order content that becomes available to everyone a few months after launch.
I didn’t give in for Starfield. But I’m tempted. I did instead spend a bunch of money on a new video card.
Same. I’ve only bought one game at launch in the last 10 years i think. Not worth it.
