She helped Shinnok in invading Edenia. I suppose that because Edenia is still merged with Outworld in this timeline, she's not so important. But also, Tanya was named after Boon's sister. I suppose it could be something personal. True. But if she was in MKX because she's important to the story, I guess she would be in the game as a normal character, not as a DLC. DLCs usually have nothing to do with the campaign, no participation on it, unless she does have a role as an unplayable character but only becomes playable if you buy her DLC.

Anyway, I guess people would only buy her because she's a DLC and comes in a kombat pack, not because they are actually her fans. Not saying that she doesn't have any fans or that they won't buy her, just that most of the players who would buy her would do so just because she's a DLC, and they'd presume she's cool for that.

Not saying that she can't become a very good fighter in MKX, with awesome gameplay and fatalities. In fact, I think that's very likely to happen. All I want to know is what led NRS to make her into DLC, because usually in MK characters only become DLCs because fans keep asking for them a lot - like Tremor, Kenshi, Predator, Rain, Jason. I can't see that happening to Tanya.
