Marvel's Answer To Overwatch Blasted For Trying To Ban Criticism

Marvel Rivals developer NetEase is retracting a contract that prohibited creators from criticizing the game

Marvel Rivals , the Overwatch -like starring Spider-Man , Scarlet Witch , and other Marvel superheroes, came under fire over the weekend during its ongoing closed alpha playtest. After reading through developer NetEase’s contract for access to the playtest, streamers noticed a section that precludes them from speaking negatively about the game. The blowback was loud enough that NetEase had to put out a statement.

This culminated in a public statement on Marvel Rivals’ official social channels on May 13, apologizing for the “confusion, suspicion, and frustration” caused by the “excessively restrictive terms” from the original contract and said it is revising the agreement. The full statement reads as follows: Dear Marvel Rivals players, Today is the third day of the Closed Alpha Test, and we are truly grateful for all the love and support from the community.
