The official launch trailer of the Mortal Kombat: Komplete Edition.
This weekend, news surfaced that Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition has been taken off of various stores, with online functionality also shut down.
Exactly, digital is still available to download again if you bought it and sp modes.
Its not like anyone (000.01%) of people actually want a physical or digital copy of a 2011 game.
Did you completely miss the part where online modes are shut down regardless of whether it was a physical or digital purchase?
I already know, I own it on Steam and PS Vita digitally. But for anyone wanting to buy it now, they'd need a physical copy for PS3/360/PS Vita, or maybe an already existing Steam key, I guess
its not like physical copies stay in stores forever ... i don't really get your point then

Literally if you dont already own it, stores (And used sources like ebay) are your only option now.
If not for physical copies existing literally not a single person who doesnt own it would ever be able to buy it again.
Imagine if it were a digital only release (there are plenty of them). Gone, Lost to history.
This is exactly what publishers would love to become normal- Because believe me they'll release it on another platform in a couple more years as a retro title and you'll be re-buying it. All it will take is to include a new halfass mode or run at a different resolution and its a unique product.
You can still reinstall it and play offline from your digital copy.
Do you think anyone is moaning at no option to buy digital or physical in 2020 from 2011 title? No didn't think so.
Don't message back with the usual physical BS either, I've heard it all b4.
"My physical copy got snapped or scratched, I'll just buy and download it digitally to play it again...oh wait, this is BS that's no longer an option" Some people buy games in their own time, not everyone has to buy stuff on day one.
If you go back and play MK9 and MKX you'll realize how much of a fast and fierce fighter it really was. MK11 is so dumbed down, slow and simple that It lost that hardcore edge. I really miss MK9 and X.
I hope this means there is a remaster or updated version coming.
I really liked the 2011 Mortal Kombat! I certainly hope it's not some attempt to erase the game.
Right now you can get two critically-acclaimed fighting games for just $5. Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition and Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition are bundled at Fanatical. The deal is only good for the next 16.5 hours.
Karan writes- "The modern fighting game scene has been plagued by saturation, microtransactions, terrible business models and a lack of creativity. Which is a shame, but also the perfect excuse for you to look back in time a bit, and experience some of the classics of the genre in all their glory. The steam sale is the perfect occasion for you to binge-purchase some true masterpieces — games that will help you rediscover your love of the genre, or make you a fan if you already weren’t one."
... I was kinda excited about it when it just came out, got positive reviews and feedback, but didn't buy it because of the DLC...
... and now, quite honestly, I can't be bothered to pick it up anymore. Feedback has kinda changed over time (less positive), and thus my personal interest in the game has also dropped.
Gonna get this for the PS3 even though I have the 360 version with all the DLC :P
Good thing I didn't buy this, will wait for this version :-)
Nice good things come to those that wait had a feeling complete edition would be on the way will be getting this
