Well, I guess that was an "explanation." Except, in your explanation you said they "cancelled the stream" when in fact they postponed it. Your explanation also revolved around the assumption that there's internal ambiguity. I'm sorry, but based on what? What internal ambiguity could there possibly be?

As far as why am I so combative about this, it's simple really. If you guys are just impatient and want MKX news, that's fine with me. You don't think I want MKX news? But when your average TYM user suddenly becomes a marketing genius and acts like he has an idea what the fuck he's talking about, that's the problem. Websites like IGN and Gamespot are giving MKX plenty of coverage. And whenever there's MKX news, the game gets even more coverage.

The game is still 4 months away. That's not when the heavy marketing push is supposed to happen. You think your average consumers (who constitute the majority of buyers) are impatiently following MKX news every day, itching for new info? And if so, do you think the lack of info is going to make him go "fuck this, I'm not buying this anymore", despite the plethora of reveals we'll be getting as the game's release approaches?

Newsflash, the kind of people asking Ed Boon whether Nitara will be in the game on twitter, are the kind of people who will buy it no matter what.

It is the sense of entitlement that is mostly irksome.
Oh, the delicious irony. Rolls around on the tongue.

Sounding like NRS's white knight bud

Is it still a knee-jerk reaction after nearly 3 months? If so, at what point does it stop a knee-jerk reaction?>_>
OK, let me ask you a question: Did NRS state or imply in any way, that they would be revealing a character within X amount of time after they announced Quan Chi? No they didn't.

They gave us a stream in November, said there would be another one in December, postponed it till January, and they will be revealing a new character (and allegedly "LOTS more") on January 2nd. That's in 2 weeks. So please, explain to me, what exactly are we reacting to?

@coolwhip I usually agree with you but this time I gotta say that you are crazy bro lol.
While I normally would not dispute that, I must say, I seem to be the only one with a level head in this thread. I really don't see what's so crazy about NRS not revealing a character for 3 months when the game won't be released for another four. We know info will be pouring throughout 2015 up until the game's release, and I'll make sure I'll dig up this thread in February/March once characters are revealed like candy and TYM is losing its mind in excitement, with all over the top reactions in this thread a distant memory.

I have yet to see a single post explain what the big deal is beyond "I'm impatient and irritated." Like, please, someone give me concrete thoughts on why this will hurt MKX's sales without somehow making far-fetched assumptions that NRS will not go into hardcore sell mode in 2015. I'll gladly discuss it without being "combative and aggressive."

I specifically said that it was my issue, and I was the one who originally posted the thread (storms rightly spruced it up and promoted it). You came in swinging cock, and calling out my opinions like they were yours to molest. Entitlement, indeed. The difference between you and I is that I know my opinions are just that. Opinions. You seem to believe that yours somehow carry more weight and value. That is why I ( and others, apparently) are finding you insufferable. A wise man would learn and grow.
