I want to know why it has taken months to write just one bio per character. I'm not complaining about the lack of them, I just want to know, why it is taking so much time? Well, answer the question Midway! Im calling out a response from you! 
I'm expecting to be flamed for this thread, so just a heads up to potential flamers, especially animereaper, I honestly don't give a ****.

Believe me Meathook. You've just opened the gates of war.
Nonetheless let me provide you with a good explanation.
They're hard at work on MK8. Determined to make it the best MK game ever.
There, now don't you feel guilty for complaining?

Not one bit. Despite working on another chapter in the series, how hard of work is it to write a couple of paragraphs for a character in one month? One month is still pretty sad too, there should be a bio weekly. If I were writing these bios, I'd have the job done by december with ease. In a sense, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is not yet complete production.

I kind of look at the issue on both ends. I'll admit it's frustrating to get a game without character bios and to only have a handful here and there after the game's been out for some time, but at the same time Midway makes a lot of games and are undoubtedly rather busy. The best way for them to avoid fan backlash like this in the future is to insure that MK8 and all other titles have bios in them prior to release, even if it delays the game's release in some capacity.

Oh what a load of bollocks. It's the same crap every time.

I'll admit some stories basically go unchanged from sequel to sequel. Hell, Scorpion's always going to want revenge on somebody for example. At the same time though, I think a lot of people are frustrated because some long term favorites with few MK appearances have just simply been put back into the game with little to no explanation. People want to know how they got there and why, and that also includes series regulars too.

Oh don't worry Meathook49 as I totally see where you're coming from. I too am frustrated at Midway for the lack of bios. 
I'm also frustrated at Midway for not releasing the bios before this even game came out. Heck I would've even accepted it if the bios for this game (Not the trading card bios), were only on disc 2 of the Premium Edition if they couldn't be put on the actual game.

An expansion disc would be a good idea. Hell, Koei does it all the time with their Dynasty and Samurai titles. While they've done it in such a way that it's severely milked the franchise at times, Midway doing this with MKA on the other hand would undoubtedly prove rather useful I think.

I know there are people interested in storyline, but no matter what the story turns out to be, it won't drive me away from the gameplay. I've gone from MK1 - MKA reading a few bios here and there, just to get a feel for who the characters are. Besides that, I don't really care how they interact.
Anyway, I don't have an answer as to why the creators are taking their time, but those are my thoughts on the subject.

Hey man, you are not alone. You can read and sign this petition if you agree with it, in order to let Midway know we want to get more bios:

You talk like you are not a mkfanboy... And you have posted 2000 messages in these boards 
the difference is that you are just a bored flamer mkfanboy, aren't you?
You have stated your position about the bios each time a member of the forum has requested them... We don't need to hear it so many times, so please, you can save it, and let the people who want the bios ask for them.
