I'm not sure that you got the main reason to invite people like Ronda. WB did it not for MK fanbase, because we'll buy almost anything related to MK anyway (we bought the game with Ronda's voice acting lol). But for people who don't give a f about the game, it may get their attention. Like "I like Ronda and she is in, interesting". Also, different websites not related to gaming spread news like this.
It's quite close to guest characters, WB and NRS don't add them for MK fans.
yep, fair point .... anyway, despite the intention being pure marketing strategy tactics, the quality level delivered for the final product, is cringeworthy, doubtful, poor taste, and bad, really bad .... only blind fanboys could really aprove that, hehe
is just like when you use T&A hotness to promote something, if you gonna do it, at least, use a chick that is very good looking and a trully bombshell, right ? using a normal pointless ugly bitch will not help that good the marketing departament ....
Ronda Rousey brought attention, ok, no argument here ....but the final result is subject to high criticism so, it's a double edge sword scenario
... anyway, since money is all that matter , right ? in this case, the developers don't give a shit for what people think, if the game reached their finantial success goal , what seems to be in MK11 ... so, mission accomplished, they say !
