Today, during Warning Bros' conference call, chief executive officer David Zaslav talked about Mortal Kombat 1 and the company's gaming business.
Most interesting part of the article:
"Our focus is on transforming our biggest franchises from largely console and PC-based with 3-4 year release schedules to include more always-on gameplay through live services, multiplatform, and free-to-play extensions, with the goal of having more players spending more time on more platforms. U
Ultimately, we want to drive engagement and monetization over longer cycles and at higher levels where per specific capabilities we’re currently under scale, and see significant opportunity to generate greater post-purchase revenue"
I hate it when they give something the suffix “one” when there have been multiple previous versions. This is like the 13th game in the main series, but some asshole was like “Let’s call it Mortal Kombat 1!”, same goes for “Xbox One”.
When it started out as “One” suffix to signal that it’s a hub sort-of-thing it made sense but then they took it and ran with it. I wonder how many sales XBox missed because of their dumb naming schemes. I honestly still don’t know which xbox is the newest one.

The stupid thing now is the Xbox’s name got stupider. Xbox One was confusing, but now Xbox Series X/S is even more WTF?
