The saga of MultiVersus is a compelling case study that could be featured in gaming industry textbooks, much like the cautionary tale of Concord. Despite its impending closure, the game is set to conclude on a high note with the introduction of its final characters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman.
Amidst the excitement, there's palpable frustration among the fanbase, with some extreme reactions escalating to threats against the developers. MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh took to the community with a heartfelt message, pleading for civility and emphasizing that threats are unacceptable. He extended his apologies to fans disappointed by the absence of their favorite characters in the roster, and encouraged them to savor the remaining content in Season 5.
Huynh shed light on the complexities behind adding characters to games like MultiVersus, pointing out that numerous factors come into play and that his decision-making power was more limited than many fans might have thought. This transparency aims to bridge the gap between player expectations and the realities of game development.
Following the announcement of the game's shutdown, some players expressed dismay over the inability to use their in-game tokens to unlock new characters, a benefit promised to those who invested in the $100 edition of MultiVersus. This unfulfilled promise may have fueled the intense reactions, including the threats mentioned earlier.
