Mortal Kombat 1 continues the tradition of dealing with rage quitters in hilariously brutal ways

Scorpion and Kung Lao team up in Mortal Kombat 1.

There's nothing more annoying than absolutely rinsing your opponent in a fighting game, only to have them throw a tantrum and pull the plug mid-match. NetherRealm devised a fun way to deal with cowardly disconnectors back in Mortal Kombat X with "Quitalities," where the loser finishes themselves with a neat head explosion or, in Mortal Kombat 11's case, a giant rock impaling them. It beats the classic "oops, sorry" disconnection screen and thankfully, it's making a return in the new entry.

Mortal Kombat 1's stress test took place over the weekend—on Xbox and PlayStation only, sadly—letting fans try out four fighters and three supports across a handful of stages offline, or against other players online. It seems like some players took the "stress" part of the stress test a little too literally online, with people facing more than a few rage quitters across the weekend.
