[QUOTE="Admin, post: 61331, member: 1"] Mortal Kombat 1’s aggressive monetisation has once again come under fire from players after Nintendo spilled the beans on the standalone price of the Omni-Man DLC character. The [URL='https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/mortal-kombat-1-switch/']Nintendo eShop[/URL] currently displays the $7.99 price of Omni-Man, who arrives in Mortal Kombat 1 as a standalone purchase later this week after his early access arrival as part of Kombat Pack 1. Players of the full-price, $70 fighting game were quick to point out that Omni-Man’s price, which cements publisher Warner Bros. Games’ strategy of setting characters at $7.99, is further evidence of Mortal Kombat 1’s "wild" monetisation. [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/mortal-kombat-1s-omni-man-is-as-broken-as-he-is-hilarious']Omni-Man[/URL], who of course comes complete with eye-catching Fatalities lifted from the Invincible Amazon Prime series, is cheaper than the recently released and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/mortal-kombat-1-halloween-fatality-costs-10-and-the-community-is-pushing-back']highly controversial Halloween Fatality[/URL], which cost $10.

Making matters worse, Warner Bros. Games is currently selling the Omni-Man announcer pack, voiced by J. K. Simmons, for 1,000 Dragon Krystals. That’s another $10 on top even for those who bought the $39.99 Kombat Pack 1, and it’s more expensive than Omni-Man himself. The announcer pack sees Omni-Man say iconic Mortal Kombat lines such as “Fight!” and “Finish Him!”. Omni-Man is also cheaper than Mortal Kombat 1’s most-coveted premium skins. Last week, Warner Bros. Games released the classic Deadly Alliance skin for Li Mei, which costs 1,000 Dragon Krystals / $10. As you’d expect, Mortal Kombat 1 players aren’t particularly thrilled, although at this point they’re not surprised at Warner Bros.
