Having many MK kharacters that were given the bloody axe of death both during and after MK9 is a sign that the story of Mortal Kombat is showing its true colors in its truest form.

It's not like Street Fighter and Tekken who can just freely kill off their characters just to introduce new characters into the perspective universal franchises of both Street Fighter and Tekken (although they did got rid of endboss characters such as Azazel, Gill, and Ogre).

The new characters in such fighting games such as Street Fighter and Tekken stated earlier are there just to expand their franchises universes and mythologies, giving on more depth on what they are.

And please, lets not bash on Capcom and Konami, let's not forget that Sega is also in the same situation as they are. Capcom is indeed coming back; Street Fighter 5 lets you unlock all the DLC in-game without having to buy it with money by instead letting you buy the characters with 'Fight Points'.
