Mortal Kombat 1’s Omni-Man Is Cheaper Than the Halloween Fatality and Even His Own Announcer Pack
Mortal Kombat 1’s aggressive monetisation has once again come under fire from players after Nintendo spilled the beans on the standalone price of the Omni-Man DLC character.
The Nintendo eShop currently displays the $7.99 price of Omni-Man, who arrives in Mortal Kombat 1 as a standalone purchase later this week after his early access arrival as part of Kombat Pack 1.
Players of the full-price, $70 fighting game were quick to point out that Omni-Man’s price, which cements publisher Warner Bros. Games’ strategy of setting characters at $7.99, is further evidence of Mortal Kombat 1’s "wild" monetisation.
Omni-Man, who of course comes complete with eye-catching Fatalities lifted from the Invincible Amazon Prime series, is cheaper than the recently released and highly controversial Halloween Fatality, which cost $10. (Warner Bros. Games subsequently said it “appreciated” fans’ “feedback” when it announced those who’d bought the Halloween Fatality would also get the upcoming Thanksgiving Fatality and a winter Fatality “free” as a make-good).
Making matters worse, Warner Bros. Games is currently selling the Omni-Man announcer pack, voiced by J. K. Simmons, for 1,000 Dragon Krystals. That’s another $10 on top even for those who bought the $39.99 Kombat Pack 1, and it’s more expensive than Omni-Man himself. The announcer pack sees Omni-Man say iconic Mortal Kombat lines such as “Fight!” and “Finish Him!”.
Y’all can’t be this stupid. Stop buying at these inflated ass prices!
It’s the only feasible reason they kept the price this fkn high. We have a couple of dipshit whales buying anything the second it drops. Fuck y’all for turning rewards and replayability into a cash grab. Fuk U https://t.co/oxe49qU7t9
