With Mortal Kombat 1’s launch looming shut by, it’s no shock that some have a distinct tackle the combating recreation’s violence. Loads of folks had points with the sport itself early in its life, however now, a distinct creed of individuals have points.
Talking with IGN, NetherRealm Studios‘ Ed Boon mentioned how they will’t merely “tone down” the violence within the recreation. Lots of what makes the sport itself is the violence, fatalities, and gore. Sadly for content material creators, this hinders their capacity to earn money from the content material they produce.

Mortal Kombat 1 Full Response:
“Yeah, it does. The dilemma, I don’t know if I’d name it dilemma, however the factor that I take into consideration is, let’s say we had a mode that turned off all of the blood or one thing or didn’t have fatalities or one thing like that. A part of it’s… a part of the definition of Mortal Kombat is these issues. And so to strip away a complete layer of it, do we actually need that to be the primary illustration that’s of the sport on-line? It’s not the entire presentation. Now, granted to me it’s not like, “Okay, in order that’s a deal breaker. We’re by no means going to do it.” I’m at all times attempting to assume what can we do to maintain the spirit of what the sport is, but additionally permit streamers, as a result of I’m absolutely conscious of streamers, to indicate the sport and make content material based mostly on the sport. I believe that’s the dilemma.”
