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"

What a major turn-off ngl.

I was on the fence about buying on launch and glad I didn’t. I’ll just pick up the complete edition in a year or two.

If I’m reading the article right, there won’t be a “complete” edition. Like waiting for a “complete” edition of Fortnite or GTA Online
