Bitter Reactions to Switch Version of Mortal Kombat 1

The early access release of Mortal Kombat 1 last week on various platforms including Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S was met with disappointment as fans took to platforms like X (previously known as Twitter) and TikTok to express their dismay over the subpar performance of the game's Switch version. The game, developed by NetherRealm, is sold at $70 on Switch, equivalent to other platforms, a pricing decision that has provoked cries of "robbery" and "disrespect" from fans who feel the poor quality warrants a lower price.
