The tale of MultiVersus is one that could easily be studied alongside other notable gaming industry case studies, such as the downfall of Concord. Yet, the game is set to end on a high note with the introduction of its final characters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman. This announcement has come at a time of heightened tension and frustration among the fanbase, with some individuals resorting to threatening the developers.
In response, MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh took to the community with a detailed message, pleading with players to refrain from making threats against the team. He issued an apology to fans disappointed by the absence of their beloved characters in the game and encouraged them to enjoy the offerings of the final Season 5. Huynh also shed light on the complexities behind adding new characters, emphasizing that his decision-making power was not as extensive as some fans might have thought.
Following the news of MultiVersus's impending closure, frustrations escalated among players, particularly those who had invested in the $100 edition of the game. These players were unable to use their in-game tokens to unlock new characters as initially promised, which may have contributed to the intensity of the backlash, including the threats directed at the developers.
