I’m not so sure MK1’s woes speak volumes about anything else besides MK1. Has any NRS game ever had three years of content updates?
I remember when Riot first bought Radiant Entertainment, all the discourse about how the League fighter would kill every other FGC title just by being F2P and having Riot money behind it.
Then they took a whole decade to release, and the development hell was not kind to the final product. But I’d also just say that the landscape changed so much in that decade, other fighting games have become a lot more mainstream now, enough so that this was not enough to compete with them anymore.
