Ya know, with the casuals that'll get lured back into the game by the guests which is probably where most of like Leatherface's sales will come from, they'll prolly just make the initial purchase (which I guess is all that really matters), play it for about a week or two, and then move on from the game again...

... Whereas if we had gotten more of the requested MK characters in these packs like some of the ones Chard would've preferred, the more hardcore fans and community would have been drawn back to the game for more months/years to come.

Case in point, I know I would've played MK9 a little longer than I did in the long run if the last DLC wasn't Freddy but another MK character. A lot of longtime fans I knew were put off from MK9 with that being the last DLC as well, even as much as they loved the game at first.

And don't get me wrong. I thought Freddy's inclusion was pretty cool at first, but now that kind of thing seems to have turned out to be the ultimate getaway drug. Even though the guests will sell the most as always due to their wide appeal outside of MK, it won't keep the devoted fans playing the game as long compared to if they had gotten more of their MK favorites.
