Yesterday on testyourmight.com Tyler Lansdown the community manager for Nether Realm Studios made a post saying that MKXL and Kombat Pack 2 are 100% confirmed to be console exclusives. This leaves the new netkode up in the air still but I'm willing to bet this is considered part of KP2 and will also not come to PC.
Combined with the sordid history of the PC release for me this is definitely the nail in the coffin for WB and maybe even NRS titles. We the PCMKX community have received no apology for any of this shit, constantly get delayed content and now flat out won't get content. The worst thing is you know there was ass backwards circular logic used in this decision. You know a WB exec said the community size on PC isn't large enough to justify the investment into keeping it at parity with the console version. Why does PCMKX have a low pop community? maybe because of poor support even worse communication and the netcode was shit to begin with.
Now i don't 100% blame NRS because this just smells like corporate bullshit but i can probably guess that Injustice 2 is going to be announced this year. So more than likely the netcode improvement is just meant to be a test for their next product because if they really cared about their fans experience they would have shipped MKX with a decent netcode to begin with. Hell maybe they would have even made an effort to try and do an in house port for a change so they could actually have some quality control over it.
So i know for a fact that i will never buy a WB games title ever again due to this. As much as i would love IGAU2 since the original was one of my favorite fighting game ever sadly i know that any PC port will be garbage tier. I want to give them my money but evidently they just don't want it.
