I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
NetEase has apologized for a creator contract regarding its still-in-alpha Overwatch clone, Marvel Rivals , designed to stamp out potential negativity about the game.contained a “non-disparagement” section where among other things, creators were not to be “engaging in malicious comparisons with competitors or belittling the gameplay or differences of Marvel Rivals or providing subjective negative reviews of the game.
I’ve heard some weird NDA/review rules in my day but “don’t be negative about the game” put that plainly is one of the more ridiculous things I’ve ever seen. I even saw a few creators start to get removed from the program as they started to talk about this, but they’ve since been reinstated, and NetEase has issued an apology and promise it will relax the language.
“We sincerely apologize for the confusion, suspicion, and frustration caused by these excessively restrictive terms and thank you for sharing with us. We cherish and appreciate every suggestion given by our players and always respect your feedback. We are currently working with Creators who have expressed these concerns and are revising the current version to be less restrictive and more Creator-friendly. Thank you for bearing with us while we make these adjustments.
This is also viewed as such an own goal because the sentiment around Marvel Rivals is…mainly really positive. Players seem to be liking the superhero take on Overwatch with its stylized design and fun character kits. While even inThe closed alpha test is ongoing and we’ll see how things continue to evolve from here. Hopefully this is behind us and the new terms are going to be less controversial with creators allowed to freely give feedback about the game.
