At This point Ed Boon could take the remaining OG Creators to make a new Company and a new IP with How Mortal Kombat is going on.

Look I know I probably will make a LOT of people angry and everyone upon reading the title PROBABLY is preparing to do their favorite character's Fatalities on me BUT Hear me out! Let me Cook!

Mortal Kombat has been retconned the ever living CRAP out of at this point. If Mortal Kombat kepts its identity and gritty dark fantasyness with every character still being recognizable and still being themselves until MK11 in MK1 2023 SURE AS S**T they couldnt.

They rewrote so many things that at this point they could just rename every character and location change a few things and NOBODY would even know that this is Mortal Kombat they LITERALLY could break away from Warner Bros and they couldn't be held accountable for "Simmilar features" since there are BARELY anything that reminds me of Mortal Kombat in Mortal Kombat 1 2023.
Hell what makes Mortal Kombat Mortal Kombat at this point? the Gory fatalities? As far as I know Netherrealm doesn't own any patent that only they can do this so its free for them to do it elsewhere, The characters and whom they are? They managed to make the Tarkatans into just a diseased people, they Turned Bo Rai Cho, Cyrax and Sektor into women, HELL SCORPION IS NOT SCORPION ANYMORE SINCE ITS NOT HANZO HASSASHI!

And the whole story in Mortl kombat 1 2023 I'm gonna be honest I've reached my limit. I cant pull back Mortal Kombat from the cliff because it already fallen off, Gritty maps that we had in MK9 and MK11 Gone, we got some beautiful maps instead but they are soooo cleeean and sooo different that..... again why not make a new IP what would be a good reason for them not to leave Netherrealm?

Oh they wont be able to do more Mortal Kombat games anymore if they do leave..... well they already not making anymore Mortal Kombat games apparently if this keeps up.

YES they wont have the full throttle full force of Netherrealm as they wont be able to afford it but in a day and age where Indie devs from a group of 20 to 3-5 friends in the basement to 1 GUY (or girl) manage to cook AAA companies with NO Experience in making games I want ANYONE try to tell me I'm wrong and that Ed Boon with some veteran devs of 20 people couldn't do the same

they wouldn't need to rush projects, neither make some egregious choices such as the in game cash shop is, Which they MIGHT STILL NEED if they wanna keep their heads afloat but If Larian Studios can sell FULL GAMES with no bullshit cash shop in their games I see no reason why other game companies couldn't..... yes they make RPG games but I dont see what good reason is there to sell a game for 120 euro BTW Without Shang Tsung you have to buy him separately only so a yearlater they can sell a Expansion for 80 euro PLUS the Cash shop.....

I'm making this comment because I went down the rabbit hole of "What is a Mortal Kombat game anymore" cause it sure as shit not what direction we are having, they DID retcon a few things in the Netherrealm triology but it made sense the new timeline there are characters who are NOWHERE resembling their old versions, They EASILY could rename the characters and sell it as a new Spiritual Successor for Mortal Kombat.

Iga sensei managed to do it with Bloodstained and that worked out.

So I made this comment and I want anyone here try to convince me that I'm wrong and tell me what reason Ed has to keep the carcass of his franchise alive when he cant even do with it what he wants to
