The developers of Marvel Rivals apologize for including some controversial requirements in order to access the game's Alpha test.

​​​​​​With such a broad scope on what counts as “disparagement,” this has caused quite a stir among the community, with some players being banned without realizing the terms of this contract. The developers released a statement addressing these terms, with NetEase saying it is aware of the “inappropriate and misleading terms” regarding the non-disparagement clause to access Marvel Rivals’ closed alpha, and apologized for any miscommunication. The developers state that they are open to both suggestions and criticisms about the game, wishing to make Marvel Rivals better and satisfy gamers.

The conditions of the contract are also going to be revised, with progress being shared with every content creator.

Even that doesn’t make sense though. How would people not have caught on when they were banning people but not telling them what for other than you violated some terms of service agreement?

The obvious next step would be to actually go look at the agreement.

So this outcome was 100% inevitable, and moreover 100% predictable. How else could it possibly have gone down.
