Is MK1 getting too carried away with in-game purchases? Some fans believe so.
Mortal Kombat 1 players are finding themselves quite upset this week following the announcement that paid Fatalities will soon be coming to the popular fighting game. With the last few Mortal Kombat installments, NetherRealm Studios has added paid content that players can choose to purchase outside of the main game. Not only has this additional content taken the form of DLC fighters and story expansions, but an in-game storefront has also been established that gives players new cosmetic options for various characters. Now, with Mortal Kombat 1, NetherRealm is tucking exclusive Fatalities behind a paywall too, and it’s not going over well with fans.
It’s an antipattern. It prevents you from segmenting your time on a site, so you’re more likely to just keep going, never recognizing it’s been hours.
It’s also dogshit for usability. Are you trying to catch up on some artist’s comic? Have fun holding Page Down for half an hour. Hope the site doesn’t reload whenever it feels like it.

What’s so bad about infinite scrolling pages?
