Obviously, Mortal Kombat was a big deal back in the day. I never said otherwise because that's exactly my point. I'm contrasting its former "greatness" (mediocre IMO) to what it is today. In the past few years MK has become a sad, tired franchise. Midway seems to think it still has the mega appeal that it did back then. It clearly doesn't. I still say most gamers won't give a shit if MK is sold. I think my original post is pretty clear. Not sure what the angry diatribes are all about. Some people like MK, most don't. Big deal.
