No satire? Guess anything on the internet is out of the question then.

Engaging or providing subjective negative reviews

What do they think a review is?! If they wanted an advertisement, buy an ad spot on Google ya cheap bastards.

Vespair, rok temu

Because they want the benefits of advertising with the power of word-of-mouth, all at the expense of free.

That they think they can get away with it is bananas to me.

If you say “x and y is broken it not implemented yet” that’s an objective negative review.

troglodytis, rok temu

If both x and y are broken, then it’s totally unplayable.

Y’all heard it here, this person says Marvels Rivals is unplayable. Do not preorder!

EatATaco, rok temu

I actually looked into the game because I didn’t know anything about it and figured I should inform myself a bit.

What makes this whole overreacting raging we are seeing here even more funny and ridiculous is that the game is going to be FTP. So basically, once released, anyone can go and try it out, for free, to see whether or not it’s worth any investment by them.

So, yeah, if someone is offering you to pre-order this game, I definitely suggest you not buy it because they are trying to scam you.

Y’all heard it here, this person says Marvel’s Rivals is a totally unplayable pay to win scam!

I saw that line and immediately thought “oh ho ho, we have a loophole. This wasn’t a subjective review, it was entirely objective. The game is objectively shit.”

cactusupyourbutt, rok temu

you can do a non subjective review.

Product X has Y thingamagingies which is better than their previous model and Z percent more than their competitors product

Oh, you want only good reviews? It’d be a shame if people reviewed your game like “I apologize, I have nothing to say - I am under contract to say nothing bad about the game, and I have nothing good to say about it either.”

This is utter hogshit, but also seems relatively easy to work around. “I am legally forbidden from sharing my opinions on the quality of Marvel Rivals.” is a pretty clear and succinct review that technically flies under their legal fuckery.

Iron Man is shooting green lasers? wtf?

Edit: After watching the gameplay video, I can say it’s a similar game to Paladins by Hi-Rez studios. The only thing is that Paladins has EAC and makes it unplayable on my OS.

No satire either??

So you can say nothing but praises for the game, but if they detect sarcasm, you’re STILL getting sued?

This is so stupid. Isn’t this a free-to-play game? With one-time-purchase games you can try to fool people, then take your money and leave while people complain about the game behind you.

But this is a free-to-play game, they intend to make money by gradual ongoing revenue from in-game purchases, etc. You can’t fool people who are actively playing the game.

The contract hurts their image, and prevents them from receiving critical feedback.

Aww, the Devs feelings might get hurt

rockSlayer, rok temu

Nah, this is a pathetic attempt to get free ads from games journalists without any downsides

voracitude, rok temu

The developers of the game had zero input on this. They’re developers; this is a contract which would be written by lawyers, directed by management. The same management who force crunch on the devs you want to blame. Learn to recognise the enemy, please and thanks.

_sideffect, rok temu

Management is part of the development team… Developers doesn’t just mean programmers.

A director of a project is still management, but also a developer.

Good call. Imagine a studio that simul releases with much more well known competititon, twice.

Could be wrong but this does not sound sound outlandish for a alpha. There should be no point to ruin a name/brand before it is out. You should not leave a “review” of a unfinished product.

zalgotext, rok temu

If the product is unfinished, why is it being released to the public, in any capacity?

If they want to playtest and find bugs in their unfinished product, they should do that. By paying a QA team and playtesters, not by trying to dupe streamers into generating free advertisement.

Blxter, rok temu

You have never played an early alpha of a game and signed a NDA to not disclose it I did this with many games the finals, th division heatland, x defient, arc raiders etc. although in this case since there are yt videos and streams seems a little weird. I was uneducated the games I am talking about when I played had watermarks on them and were made for testing etc had no idea the game was like viewable. In this case it looks more like if tarkov or an EA game said you can’t leave reviews.

To clarify yes I fully agree that not ok and didn’t know the full facts.

It did say “subjective negative reviews”. I would take that to mean that strictly objective negative reviews are perfectly acceptable.

Artyom, rok temu do games w Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review in order to access the playtest

It must be a REALLY good game. Only the best games that were already going to get high reviews would ever resort to such a policy

Timecircleline, rok temu do games w Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review in order to access the playtest

Hmm… A perfectly neutral review with a share of the wording from the contract is nothing but factual, and I believe could be argued to be non disparaging?

voracitude, rok temu

No, disparaging is disparaging, even if it’s warranted. But, if I were a small streamer who got a key, I would just repeat the non-disparagement clause any time I saw something obviously broken.

They can stop me saying anything negative but that doesn’t cover body language (they might try to sue but they wouldn’t ever be able to prove it to the degree required unless I had posted something like this explanation, and even then it’s dicey), and I don’t see anything in there about a minimum number of positive sentences of words to hit. God help these chucklefucks if they ever run into a Djinni or a cursed monkey’s paw.

It’s one of the reasons that nobody says anything bad about the product that their sponsor provided to them. Either that or people don’t want to ruin their relationship with their sponsors so they will talk highly of a product even if it isn’t good.

Veedem, rok temu do games w Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review in order to access the playtest

I’m assuming it’s with regards to the Play Test which is in very early stages and shouldn’t be judged as completed. Seems fair enough if it’s nowhere near complete

hoshikarakitaridia, rok temu

Right. It makes sense right up until the point where they only act on negative reviews.

Non disclosures / non disparagement are industry standard, but this is bonkers. Non-disclosure but only for the stuff we don’t like? The fuck

PapstJL4U, rok temu do games w Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review in order to access the playtest

Just black list people like a normal company - whoever i suspect they did this to revoke access during EA.
