Mortal Kombat studio responds to allegations of toxic work culture
Mortal Kombat 11 is an astounding fighting game. It’s even managed to get my friends - who traditionally don’t play fighting games to not just play the game - mashing buttons, as fighting game newcomers do – but also begin to learn the nuances of the genre and want to play better. Its polished presentation and able tutorials are a large part of that. The game’s sold incredibly well too, so Mortal Kombat 11 is a resounding success for NetherRealm and Warner Bros. Unfortunately that success has been dampened by accusations not just of studio crunch, corporate bullying, low wages and a toxic working culture
