Tanya is getting an overhaul in Mortal Kombat 1, and fans are unhappy with the new design. Every week there is another fighting game, with more controversy. This genre is a magnet for criticism, and Mortal Kombat is the latest recipient. There is currently a lot of online debate regarding the portrayal of women in video games. By this point, it feels like I am covering this topic every week. That is likely because I am. Fighting games have become a particularly contention point of debate for many within the industry. Due to some unknown reason, they are subjected to the most scrutiny regarding appearance.

There is a particular reason for this. Firstly, fighting games are highly visual. Since there is no solid story to follow, you must make up for it in other ways. Mortal Kombat is the best example of this practice. Their success within this space is no coincidence. They rely massively on visual appeal to win fans over.

They have sold over 80 million units of their game, which is growing the game.
