Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest

No way they can enforce that. I hope nobody is going to intimidated by this.
This isn’t a “we’ll sue you” clause, it’s a “we’ll never do business with you again” clause
Which is usually unwritten but understood. It’s wild that they put it in writing.
Well normally they just tell you you aren’t allowed to talk about the game period. This is a slightly relaxed position from that stance.
Yes but it still looks bad because it’s saying “you can talk about it, but only if you say nice things”. A full embargo would’ve made more sense and wouldn’t have raised any eyebrows. This current contract leads me to believe it’s a shit game.
