From everyone who I thought wouldn't play #MarvelRivals, I didn't expect Bricky to even make a video recommending it.
While it may not be the “Overwatch Killer”, I am a huge fan of the gameplay and it came highly recommended!

I get the sentiment about #MarvelRivals being a total success.
What I don't get is putting it as a "total success". They already jump over "The Chasm", something that #Concord didn't do (spectacularly).
The thing know is how they stay relevant in the next month. #Helldivers2, #Palworld, #TheFinals, #DiabloIV, all of them had major user base drips.
How #NetEase will try to avoid this symptom of modern live services?

Will be #MarvelRivals free and fair forever?
No. Once there is no more growth possible, #NetEase will turn the monetization up to eleven. Premium Battlepass, $20 Skins, Paywalled Heroes, you name it.
Hopefully they come with a better alternative than predatory microtransactions. Look at #Warframe for example.
Will #DC make their own hero shooter?
#WarnerBros forced their best studio, #Rocksteady, to make a live service for USD $200M and flopped hard. I don't believe they will want another adventure on the same market.
Even if that looks like a grim proposition, it's impossible not to see the successful release of #MarvelRivals.
Of course #SkillUp would bring its own review of #MarvelRivals.
I have my theories why #MarvelRivals had a very successful launch:
1. The IP is the most recognized in the world.
2. Better than Overwatch 2 (which was a disappointment)
3. Art style is great.
4. It's free.
5. Crossplay.
Not only they're banking a huge influx of users from the start, but also from every platform available. Much different like #Concord.

#Concord developers close forever. What a Live Service games does to a mf.
#FirewalkStudios may be dead now but that’s on #PlayStation. They bought a project that released late, over budget, pricey and and without player base.
Thanks, Jim Fucking Ryan!
