History YMMV / NetherrealmStudios

* BrokenBase: The team has a habit for all their fighting games to patch them once every month. One side of the fanbase (casual) thinks this is fine, since it essentially keeps the game fresh each month, the other half (competitive/[[UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity FGC]]) looks down on this practice since it needlessly changes the meta game instead of giving them a chance to properly evaluate and adapt to the game. It only got worse in the case of ''MKX'' after people were complaining about one of Tri-Borg's variations[[note]]Sektor[[/note]] and NRS ''immediately'' released an emergency patch that completely {{nerf}}ed it to near-useless status.
