For everyone who either bought the premium or Kombat Pack, Shang Tsung should've came up as a download in notifications or in the store like the Klassic skins did. I understand the DLC is technically not supposed to be officially released until next week, but they are punishing the premium and Kombat 1 purchasers in the process. We were supposed to have access 1 week in advance and had to use the search to gain access.

Sinister is a system
Yes. The only thing the Kombat Pack does is give you access 1 week earlier. So by June 25, Shang Tsung should be available to everyone. I know Shao Kahn was a free exclusive if you pre-ordered, but on the day of release, he could be purchased.
The only thing I don't like about this game is the grind for skins and gear. A lot of these should be unlocked since most are color variations. If they were going to make players grind this hard, they should've had hidden fighters or hidden matches that unlocked secret characters. You're grinding for items you didn't want.

What you see, is what you get
The grinding on Injustice 2 was way worse though. I agree the grind for different color variations/skins are ridiculous.

At least Injustice had a somewhat larger variety of costumes/gear, on MK it's 3-4 different skins with 12 different colors.

Hidden characters??? Lmao
They want your money bro
Of course they do. Once you've purchased the game (well if you have the premium), it's no longer about the money. It's more about actually playing every mode of the game (still think AI Battles are pointless). If you play the game, you really don't have to pay for anything unless you don't have the premium. You earn time Crystal's, which allows you to randomly buy skins and gear that you don't feel like grinding for.
You can't tell me that hidden characters would make people shell out more $$$$ or that hidden characters would make the grind less of a pain. Imagine some of those boss fights in Towers of Time rewarding your win with a hidden fight against Mileena, Reptile, Ermac, Rain, Fujin, or Nitara. If you beat them, they become playable.
Been playing Kotal* for a minute and he seems like the least effective command grab character ever. You have no moves that are plus enough to force a person to guess between grab and anything else. doen jab beats everything. Why dousnt ex grab have armor? Do the developers hate that archetype or something?

Why is that a BS tactic?
You’d rather this game become tekken or worse SFV with DLC drop?

$30 to buy all six separately
$40 to have 7 whole days of access before anyone else
There's also the additional skins that come with the Kombat Pack. The ninja mime Johnmy Cage skins were a waste though.
