I will leave my seal on you!
I was gonna post this as a response to the latest negativity thread:

But after giving in some thoughts, this one deserves it's own thread, because someone need to shove in the truth and the mirror to all of your faces ASAP.

There are more, but these are the main ones.
I love Mortal Kombat, and everything I said about MK1 is the truth, and my genuine and honest thoughts about the game.
You keep saying I'm a stan, mentally ill, delusional, yada yada yada.
But yet you, ALL OF YOU, keep buying the games, play the games, and talk about the games, even though you all hate them and can and can't stand them. And it's not just MK1, you keep doing this since MK9.
I keep praising MK games because I truly love them, and therefore I buy only them when it comes to fighting games, because these are the only fighting games I can truly enjoy right now. I used to buy and play all kinds of fighting games (MK, SF, SC, MVC, Tekken and more) but now I can't anymore. Ever since 2014, the only non-NRS/WB fighting game products I bought were SC6, DBFZ and the MVC collection that came last year (I also got to play Tekken 7 once, and it was fucking horrible, this the first time I truly felt what is like to play a stiff fighting game). And that is because there were the only Japanese fighting game products that looked good enough, and even these had some SUPER SERIOUS issues with them.
I'm voting with my wallet, but yet you keep not only spending so much time talking about a game series you don't like just because you liked the previous games, but you keep buying them and play them, AKA giving your money and time to WB, yet screaming so much for them to change their approach.
I even looked at the Tekken community recently, and I saw when those who hate Tekken 8 season 2 being asked why they wouldn't just stop playing and go play something else, they say that they can't stop playing just because they've spent so much money and time on the previous Tekken games, as if being a fan of an IP, is like being in a marriage with someone. All of your are no different than them when it comes to MK.
And you keep talking about me thinking NRS/WB can't do no wrong? 1) I called them out a few times in the past, I just don't think they did anything wrong when it comes to MK1, and 2) All of your toxic actions show that you think that YOU are the ones who think you can do wrong.
You think you can say and do whatever you want, even to the absolute extreme, and still think that everyone needs to hand you everything on a silver platter and go along with whatever you say or else you gonna tear them to shreds. And it came to the point that you need this like air, food and water. I agreed with @Vulgar about the history of MK, and immediately after that, what he does? He insulting me about the way I'm posting. And then starts a 2nd conversation with me, this time about Tekken lore, and it only took 2 posts before he insulted me again like a 7-year old with no mature counter points to my response.
All of that shows me that you are not MK fans, or least you used to be not you're no longer as such, instead, YOU ARE FANS OF EACH OTHER. You actually like the community more than you like the IP, and instead you are using the IP as a platform just to keep your fandom going.
So no, it's not me being a stan of NRS/WB, but it's you being stans of the community, and you only keep burying the community and the scene just for the sake of making the community to look superior!
Oh, you don't believe me? Answer me this:
When it was the last time ANY OF YOU have posted about tech, combos or guides in NRS/WB games, ESPECIALLY MK1? When it was the last time that you posted ANY RESPONSE OR COMMENT to tourney results news that DID NOT lead to trying to justify your bitching and crying about buffs and nerfs? And how is it that all Japanese companies make clearly bad decisions both in terms of gameplay, single player content, online, tourneies etc; but you ignore all of them almost all time and you still trying to make them look better than NRS/WB games, just like with that @YagamiFire did in his last response to me, or how @M2Dave kept praising Tekken 8 season 2 while still bashing MK1 despite clearly MK1 being the better game from the start and ESPECIALLY now compared to Tekken 8?
Even @Juggs admitted just a few days ago that arguing and bitching is the only thing keeping this site going, calling everyone who does that a "valuable asset", meaning that he, and perhaps SOME other higher ups here on TYM are only using all of you, and you still keep coming to this site, like a bunch of fucking mindless robots.
And then you wonder why NRS/WB don't wanna communicate with the community anymore, because of bullshit like this. Yes, it is partially because WB not allowing NRS to do so, but Ed Boon said himself that he loves to interact with the fans, and now he barely does that, and so is everyone else from NRS, with Dominic Cianciolo even deleting his Twitter account because kept harassing him so hard, and the hate against became so bad that people actually tried to make a petition for him to get fired (thankfully that petition failed so hard, but the fact that Dominic had to delete his account is still horrible). Also back in 2019, when the whole Sindel thing in MK11 erupted, people kept harassing Shawn Kittlesen, the one who worked with Dominic about the MK11 story, while he had to deal with personal issues with his child, all because of ONE CHARACTER IN A VIDEO GAME.
And you wonder why they barely wanna talk to you anymore. And it's only because of YOU.
THAT is being mentally ill, THAT is being unhealthy, THAT is being delusional, THAT is being parasocial
Until YOU GETTING BETTER, this site, this community, and this overall competitive scene, is always gonna stay in shambles. And yes, I know, this site is only one place, but it's one of the biggest culprits for the fall of the community and the scene, when it should be the opposite.
I left this site 5 years ago, and the only reason I came back was because @Mr Aquaman announced the overhaul for Kombat Akademy, because I wanted to contribute to Mortal Kombat 1, because I love the game and I'm so passionate about it and I wanted for more people to see what this game can offer. But the thing is, with how this fucking shit continues, with all of your pathetic toxicity pushing people away from this site and community, no one who is not already a member here is gonna see it, meaning only you are gonna benefit from it, and with your behavior, why should I give you any effort? I contributed to MK Secrets for the last 9 years, posting news, working on pages on the site such as the pages for secrets and Brutalities for MKX, making videos on my channel of all kinds for Mortal Kombat X, Mortal Kombat 11, Mortal Kombat 1 and also Injustice 2, trying to give everyone the proper info, and I know that people come from the outside to MK Secrets deserve to get the info. But this site, with only you, the bitches, being the ones that can benefit from my work, why should I?
I did true work for that Mortal Kombat series, because I love it. BUT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT KEEP INSULTING ME AND DISRESPECTING ME, WHAT THE FUCK ANY OF YOU HAVE EVER DONE FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS?!?!?
I know that Mortal Kombat as a franchise is gonna keep going, MK1 is the best selling fighting game now with over 5 million copies, beating both SF6 and T8, and also being in the top 20 most played games on PS5, while SF6 and Tekken 8 are not in even in the top 100 most played games on any platform. So why should I contribute from a game I love, to a community that only loves themselves, but not the game. Yes, we are supposed to help each other, but we are supposed to do it IN THE NAME OF THE GAME, NOT THE EXPENSE OF THE GAME.
That's it, do whatever you want, I don't give a fuck about you at this point. I know, that no matter what, Mortal Kombat is the best and greatest fighting game series of all time, and Mortal Kombat 1 is, was and always will be PHENOMENAL!
Netherrealm, We Have a Problem
Ok I was waiting for some form of confirmation that MK1’s life cycle was at an end before making this thread, and it seems like the Definite Edition is making it final. What are your thoughts about NRS as a whole after the life cycle of MK1? Are you guys happy with the end result? What were the...
