Fans have taken to the likes of X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok to question NetherRealm's decision to market Mortal Kombat 1 as a $70 Switch release. It has been called "robbery" and "disrespectful" to users.

The game doesn't cost them less and probably costs them more. Discounting it because the hardware is bad is not fair, rational, or reasonable.

the point isn't that it should cost less, it's that it shouldn't have been released to begin with AND it costs more than most games. the price isn't really the problem, it just compounds on it to make it all seem worse.

So they'd rather not have the option of running the game on their bad hardware?

Why not just not buy it?

Believe me that's going to happen too. But it was still a mistake to release it on Switch if they couldn't be arsed.

Couldn't be arsed to what?

Couldn't be arsed to make a good Switch game.
