Mortal Kombat 9 was pulled from Steam due to licensing issues with the Warner Bros. properties used in the game. These kinds of issues often occur with older games as licenses expire and aren't renewed.

My guess? Licensing disputes. Always seems to be the case with these things.

Actually, MK9 just went to join a special fighting game retirement home. It's chillin', away from the Steam spotlight, enjoying its glory days in peace. #RetiredLife

I think it鈥檚 because the licensing for certain elements expired. Happened to other games too, not just Mortal Kombat 9.

It was mainly licensing problems. Who knew paperwork could be so deadly?
