Marvel Games authorized NetEase Games to develop a new hero shooter "Marvel Rivals", a few days ago launched an alpha test, but the test agreement requires live streamers and video creators to abide by the "no subjective negative comments" provoked controversy, after a day of the player community, NetEase apologized on the game Discord channel and the X (Twitter) platform, and announced that it would revise the terms and conditions.

Marvel Rivals is similar to Overwatch, featuring 6v6 team-fight third-person shooter gameplay featuring characters from Marvel Comics, and an alpha test that began on May 10 will open up 19 characters, 3 maps, and several game modes to players who qualify, such as Quick Match, Pocket Universe, Custom Battles, and more.

Many content creators have also applied to the official beta to agree to unreasonable testing protocols, according to terms paraphrased by former Overwatch esports player and live game host Seagull (Brandon Larned), including:

No disparagement: Content creators agree not to make any public statements or engage in discussions that damage the game's reputation. This includes, but is not limited to:

a. Make derogatory or sarcastic comments about any game-related material, such as game features, characters, or music.

b. Engage in malicious comparisons with competitors, or disparage the gameplay experience or differentiation of Marvel Rivals, or subjectively negative comments about the game.

Seagull was disappointed by the unpleasantness of restricting subjective opinions, saying that many creators were asked to sign the agreement when they applied for a test number, "and it's crazy that a lot of streamers sign up just to play unread content." The tweet received 20,000 likes, and a large number of netizens were surprised by NetEase's clause to deprive them of freedom of speech.

Then NetEase put out the fire urgently, issued a statement to foreign media PCGamesN and announced on the game Discord, after receiving feedback from the player community, the official realized that there was "inappropriate and misleading content" in the test agreement, and apologized for the unpleasant experience to everyone.

"Our position is definitely to be open to suggestions and criticism in order to improve our game. Our mission is to make Marvel Rivals more responsive to players through these constructive suggestions."

NetEase said that the current beta agreement is a "draft version", which is to work with content creators interested in Marvel Rivals for a long time, and is now revising the misunderstanding of the terms, and the progress will be shared with the creator community in real time, and all terms will not take effect until both parties discuss and agree.

Marvel Rivals beta is only available in North America.
