Bow before the mystery of Zod

Especially the idiots asking for refunds for Seasonpasses. I already have a bad feeling MMH is being released early and replacing Scorpion.
No I don't think they will go that far. They have already spent a lot of time developing the DLC characters and should definitely leave whoever they have in the season pass in. Otherwise that was a waste of time and money and again, could dissuade them from doing more. If they have already made MMH, just sell him seperately from the season pass. I'll still pay for him.

Well, the poll reminded people of Power Girl's comic which had been cancelled for the sake of New 52, and it had been a pretty popular and fun comic, and I'd say better written than the other two that were shown.

Then there's also the people that only voted because of boobs.

I am surprised she got as much of the vote as she did though, even with the smaller sample size of being 6+ months before release.

You have not seen the FB and Twitter response to this news. Pages upon pages upon pages of bitching.

Exactly, all this negativity towards what we are being given is going to decrease our chances of getting more.
Yes but in the same vein: being grateful/praising shite only ensures further shite. If we didn't do our moaning we would get PG, SG, Batwoman and sub zero for season two.

Doesn't matter, they spent a lot of money, time and resources to make the DLC characters and simply cancelling them because several hundreds of people are pissed off won't do them any good

I seriously doubt they'd replace a partially completed character at this point.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if Scorpion's announcement also came with the announcement that they were doing a second season pass or something to soften the blow somewhat.

Well, maybe a little surprised because I'm trying to not get my hopes up for a second season pass yet, just in case it doesn't happen like with MK9.

They won't sell DLC no one would buy. If NRS thinks Scorpion won't make a profit they'll save him for later.

We don't know if they are shite. Not liking a character and a character being bad in this game are going to have to be seperate, it's just that simple. You may not like Batgirl, Zod, Lobo or Scorpion as a character choice, but if they end up be truly good characters in this game (which if I'm going off of just Lobo so far and what I've seen that will be the case) then I think you will simply have to hold that and respect what they have done with the game.

I recall Boon said in an interview that for MK9 they decided to swap out a character at the last minute and it was a nightmare.

That would be actually good because a huge number of people are really upset right now. Of course there would be always the people that will bitch about how much DLC is coming out for this game and they can't afford it and blah blah blah

I agree except in the case of Scorpion. It's not unreasonable to want DC in the DC game you bought and the subsequent season pass. If I wanted to play as Scorpion there is a fantastic series of games that I can buy to do that.

Lets be real... a lot more people know Scorpion over a random DC character. The only ones I think people who don't know much about DC want are MMH and Black Canary. Real talk.:16Bit

Although it may not be what you wanted, it's still a great way to market and sell MK through another series. They may want this game to be it's own established series, but they still want MK to sell too. Not every decision is for the fans if you know what I'm sayin'.(Even though we all probably feel it should be that way) Plus there are going to be tons of casuals who eat that shit up. I didn't want Scorpion either tbh, but I'm still going to get the character and give him a shot. Who knows maybe I like him in the game in the end, I know I ended up liking Freddy.

I have a feeling this is advertising for MK10.

people are forgetting another reason this game was made to promote DC character get people to buy the comics so saying Scorpion being more popular doesn't mean anything
now saying Scorpion will promote MK is something different

Martian Manhunter
Black Canary
Poison Ivy
Mr.Freeze
Red Hood
R'as Al Ghul
Scarecrow
Atrocitus
Robin
Darkseid
Black Manta

and many more would sell a lot more than Scorpion
