The gaming community applauds the decision of NetEase Games to deviate from the same strategy that game developers usually take and let corporate greed get the best of them. Other live service games would ask players to cough up payment to get through a paywall before giving them access to certain content.

That’s amazing to hear. More games should follow your example

Other gaming studios should follow this example to build a strong foundation with their player base. Game development costs a fortune, and the developers are looking for monetization methods to make money back; however, there are ways to make it seem like this project is not just another cash cow, and they care about the characters and the community.

NetEase Games has the advantage of featuring high-profile heroes and villains, and the developers did not make a mistake about withholding certain characters at launch. This could set a precedent for what future player-versus-player games should be like, rather than prioritizing income.

Gamescom 2024 Was a Great Day for the Marvel Rivals Community

The gaming community had a terrific time playing the closed beta, andfans were upset to see the servers shut down. Fortunately, the developers use all feedback and comments to improve the game, and the wait will be worth it.

Corporate greed can drive a wedge between the gaming community and the developers. Other live service games established the idea of paying extra to gain extra content despite being free-to-play.
