A commercial for the DLC is also a commercial for the game...

No Freddy without owning the game...

That's true, but on the other hand, that could also mean that they are only reaching a small target audience (those who already have MK9) and it's all for DLC that is only $5.

I dunno, it just seems strange to advertise DLC for a character when I've seen much larger DLC downloads that may as well be considered expansions not get such media attention.

Arkham had a shit ton of commercial spots for the scarecrow whatever it was DLC level.

But wasn't that a pre-order bonus? That encourages people to buy the game new, so it's a no brainer to advertise that.

Yeah, I mean, they could have Dracula, Frankenstein, Elvira, Pinhead, Jason, Leatherface, Mike Myers, Ghostface, and more all in a fighting game. Would be pretty epic. I even know a pretty decent name for it: Darkstalkers 4.

that game would be awesome, but the copyrights and movie studios will fight like crazy for their share of the licensing fees!

leaving the game in development hell

this has happened before for other games that would have been ported to the US, but fail cause companies squabble over the rights.
