Mortal Kombat 1 Players Are Furious With Inclusion of Paid Fatalities (comicbook.com)

Mortal Kombat 1 players are finding themselves quite upset this week following the announcement that paid Fatalities will soon be coming to the popular fighting game. With the last few Mortal Kombat installments, NetherRealm Studios has added paid content that players can choose to purchase outside of the main game. Not only has this additional content taken the form of DLC fighters and story expansions, but an in-game storefront has also been established that gives players new cosmetic options for various characters. Now, with Mortal Kombat 1, NetherRealm is tucking exclusive Fatalities behind a paywall too, and it's not going over well with fans.

It used to be cleanly paginated like mobile Twitter... back when mobile Twitter existed. You'd get 20 or 40 posts in a row, and then a Next link. Which I think was based on timestamps instead of being /page/2 nonsense, so reloading a tab would actually put you where you left off, instead of some arbitrary distance behind the eternal present.

Okay! That makes sense. I can see how this both improves the using experience for some but also makes it more addictive.
