That's nice you spent money on a port by a company with a bad track record.
Said it pre release and now I will say it for it's death. You will get no sympathy from me.
Never touch a game from NRS again? Welp Good Game Peace Out
You sir, are what tis known as a fan boy. Nobody wants your sympathy or expects. A bad track record just makes it even worse, a history of fuck ups, although none are quite as bad as this. Stop defending bad practices "oh they do it all the time" thats great it doesn't make them any less of a terrible company for doing it at all.

@RVB or anyone who might know. Why did CIS region use PC for ESL??? Just something I figured out I didn't know why.

Any clue if Xbox or PS4 could be used instead?
The CIS region is not fully supported by XBOX LIVE therefor you cannot have ESL request players from that region to play on XBONE.
MS added Russia to the list of XBOX LIVE supported countries just recently to get some revenue after losing sales to SONY in other areas.
As for the PS4 being used that was out of the question as ESL has an agreement with MS that guarantees them console exclusivity on MKX.

GGs for ripping off the entire CIS region you fucking muppets @NRS/WB, I know a lot of dedicated players from that region that worshiped MK and now they get the shaft like the rest of the PC community .
 
you know why I totally called NRS and WB doing a dick move, because there's not even a single apology being given here, @tylerlansdown just post a statement without any single apology to the gamers and their long time fans who spent their hard earned money to buy this game and KP1, I can get the point with not releasing it in 360 and ps3, at least no one is already spending their money on it, but on PC, look how many people already bought the game and already passed the refund state of the game.

again this is a dick move and an insult to fans and PC gamers everywhere.
i guess if they could they wouldve slapped each of us for asking about PC future! let alone apologizing.
At this point they are worst developer/company of the world for me

Just when I thought NRS/WB couldn't screw up any more, they pull THIS off.
Honestly, it's like these guys are bipolar:
MKX announced? YAY!...but PS3/360 are not getting it, and PC port needs to be patched.
KP1? Tanya and Tremor? Yeah!...oh and here are 2 guests and a set of awful skin packs (there were a couple of decent ones, but come on, they could have done better.
KP2? Hooray, Sektor/Cyrax/Smoke, Bo Rai Cho...but you get 2 other guests.
Enhanced Online? Yay!... but it's PS4/XBONE only.
Hell, KP2/Enhanced Online/XL Edition? YAYYYY.. PS4/XBONE only.

Really, is NRS/WB actively trying to sabotage their reputation? Are they really THAT money hungry? Someone needs to take their meds ASAP.
you forgot about microtransactions and how they made skins and stuff much pricier [needing more koins] after reviewers. reviewed the game... so people that didnt want to waste their time on a game they bought, go and give them around 20$ just to unlock a part of the game that they PAID FOR IN FIRST PLACE.

I had no way of buying a console, I got MKX for super cheap and I had hoped that NRS and HV had fixed their past mistakes and at the time I hadn't played a fighting game in a long time, since I switched from consoles to PC. So I don't really feel like I'm some sort of ignorant moron who should of spent his money better. It was a low risk, high reward investment. I got a lot of enjoyment out of it. It just makes me sad a game I really like is now going to be dead on the platform I plan on sticking to for a long time, because it's not worth investing 500-600 dollars into something I plan to only play for a few games and none of my friends have, not to mention I need money for upgrading my PC too. So while we knew the risk, is it our fault or their fault for this colossal fuckup? It seems pretty obvious to me but it's all on them, don't make a port if you can't do it right and support it when you fail. Don't lie to us that it's all better. We're stupid for thinking things would change but can you blame people for wanting something like this to finally be good? I don't, we had plenty of reasons to think this would be the time NRS gets it right. But now they've backpedaled more than ever it seems and at one of the most important time in online MK's life.

I think NRS should of just saved face in this scenario and sucked it up this one last time so that their future investments(if ever) on PC aren't completely ruined. From a logical money perspective at least in the short term it makes perfect sense to abandon PC but I just don't see it being smart in the long run and I feel like they(both NRS and WB) should be more than profitable enough to lose a bit of money keeping their customers happy. But I hope for their sake they've done some research and thought about this a lot to the point where they know this will affect little to nothing for their bottom line. Perhaps everyone saying they're done for NRS will be too tempted by their future products to stay away and they're better on it? By then they'll have it all ironed out and have a great system in place to create a good game across all platforms and the quality of that will bring people back? I don't think people can hold grudges or resist games they love for very long. Guess we'll see. At the end of the day I just want the PC fighting game scene to grow and this has left a massive mark in the regression of that, and it really sucks to see.

So now CIS region ESL will be on Xbox too? So that probably means a bunch of different competitors since I'm guessing new Console prices are weird over there. That and some people just won't/can't buy that. Sucks to hear man.

All that's going to happen now is a bunch of possible fighting game players will never become part of this community and move to things like Arcsys, Capcom, and Namco if they ever port to PC. NRS just lost a chunk of a fanbase and I'm not surprised no one here except for PC players really cares.

If NRS still releasing games with shit not working properly (mids whiffing): "welp that sucks. I can't play properly because my shit just doesn't work. But it's ok they fuck it up all the time."
NRS pushes out MKXL suggesting not only is KP2 coming out real soon but support is stopping real soon too. "OMG WOW SO COOL TAKE ALL MY MONEY."

No one "cool" enough and not enough people actually cares what happens with this franchise. Which actually makes feel sorry for some of the people here that only play NRS games. Like this kinda shit among other things just further solidifies NRS' bad rep in and outside the FGC. The MK community is one of the newest groups but also could be one of the fastest growing but that won't happen with shit like this.

2) Do we know if Krypt unlocks or DLC are linked to our WBID accounts? I think the least they could do to compensate (and milk some money in the process) is allow players going from PC to any console to keep the extra stuff they unlocked or bought from NRS.
I doubt it because Tyler Lansdown said he bought the option to unlock the Krypt for his PS4 on a Kombat Kast. If the WBID worked, he would not need to do that.

But they did go along with WB and did nothing. If they really cared about their PC fans, they wouldn't have done this. And don't even tell me "It's because WB is their boss/it's the publisher" they still could have done something. Could it have created some unfortunate consequences for NRS' employees? No doubt, but money isn't everything. Unfortunately, it seems that isn't the case and as one post very well stated:
"NRS is a shady company partnered with a greedy/money-grubbing corporation, where they both share responsibility."
Couldn't have said it better.
Look I'm a PC player and am just as peeved by this as any other PC player but people need to temper their delusions. No dev of any company will get fired over you. WB made NRS happen. NRS wouldn't exist from Midway sinking without WB. It very likely has a very tight and long term contract involved, likely one that was made even longer and tighter with MK9's success. They aren't going to risk a lawsuit to make you happy.

Tyler told us what we wanted to know and I commend him for it. I am positive he wanted to say that as much as we wanted to hear it. For a company that had literally 0 devs involved in the PC port, I can't hold too much against them for this. I sure as shit won't gamble on another WB PC port but hiring HVS, firing HVS, and cutting PC support was without a doubt all WB's decision.

So yeah, I don't post here often, but I just came in to say that one of my goals this year was to play more MKX. I'm no stranger to the tournament scene, and I love the MK community (<3 @Tim Static).

I have the PC version. Bought the Premium Edition week 1, even knowing about the bugs. I had faith in NRS that they'd fix things. After hearing the news about MKXL and how PC players got snubbed, I bought KI Season 1&2 instead (which is cross-buy on PC and releases next month).

You guys deserve the best in all things, and I hope this legitimately doesn't hurt your community.

How many viewers were during the Injustice days? I didn't really follow that game all that much.

So I'm watching the madcatz tourney stream. 19k viewers. There were like 6k for top 8 of KIT. Good fuck NRS.

it's 22k now :)
Actually, I recall KIT being about 10,900, never quite breaking 11,000. Street Fighter had higher, but I'm not convinced that wasn't because they were running over time on the schedule by like an hour, so a lot of the NRS fans that don't normally watch it were there, myself included.

the problem with the cis region is that to buy all that stuff you have to be quite rich, for example, the average salary in my town is $184, xbone costs $375, ps4 costs $413, the game costs $40, not to count xblive and ps+, steam version costs only $18 (for russia)

basically you have to save up your money for a lot of time to buy all that shit, a lot of people out here just can't afford it
 
So here's the thing.

I bought this game not even a month ago already knowing the port started out bad.

But you know what? It got better. So I picked it up, tried it. And what do you know it worked great. Got matches at a fairly steady pace without much issue particularly since it was right after christmas and lots of people were picking it up from the winter sale. So I was really looking forward into getting into it, getting together with the PC bros here. It looked like the game was getting all the support it needed and the PC version was running well.

Well fuck me I guess. I just want my money back at this point.

There's plenty of people on steam and everywhere else getting justifiably angry for remaining faithful with both their time and their wallets that they got casually screwed after loads of promises to do better. But hey, if you want to shit on me or anyone else because they have better expectations from the people I had faith in not to run off with my wallet moments after showing me it was worth buying...

reviews exist for a reason. Nobody made you buy a shitty port.
Sorry, I have enough experience with NRS game ports since MK9 and I've never had any problems, this is including MKX. Why would I believe someone else as opposed to what I actually see? And how was I supposed to predict such decision seeing how game gets patches well in time and other people claiming their issues with the port are solved over time?

How were the PC people suppose to know if the game was good out of the box if no one was to buy it? Someone had to bite the bullet to let everyone know. So those first individuals are morons for doing so? What kind of logic is that?

I love MKX as this is the most fun version of Sub-Zero I have played since MK1. I was looking forward to the changes when KP2 was to come around but now I have no means of practicing and playing because of the abandoned support. I can't afford to buy a console + game + DLC so I'm out of luck. I don't even want my friends to support the console version because of something this horrible.

The least the PC people deserve is an explanation and an apology. Hopefully down the line our voices will be heard and push the PC version back to life. There is no way NRS and WB should accept this much backlash from the people and media without some sort of repercussion. The sad thing is I don't even think NRS and WB care or will be effected because all the others buying and supporting the console versions will make up for their PC loss ten fold.

I agree with this.

I bought the game on PS4 once I heard HVS was doing the PC port, and my suspicion was right. The launch was a shit show, and the game was broken for months.

But after several patches it got better, and then they took HVS off the project had had QLOC come and clean it up a bit, and it really looked like it was on track.

So for them to just pull support like this, it really fucking sucks.
