- No Disparagement: Content creators agree not to make any public comments or participate in discussions that might bring the game into disrepute. This includes, but is not limited to:

b. Making malicious comparisons with competitors, or disparaging the gaming experience or differences of “Marvel Confrontation”, or making negative subjective evaluations of the game.
This approach to controlling the expression of subjective opinions is unpleasant, and Seagull is very disappointed. He said many creators are required to sign this agreement when applying for testing licenses. “Many streamers sign it just to play directly without reading the content. crazy.” “The tweet received 20,000 likes, and a large number of netizens found it inconceivable that NetEase had removed the conditions for free speech.
Extremely disappointed with @MarvelRivals.
Several creators have requested key codes to access the playtest and are invited to sign a contract.
The contract deprives you of the right to negatively criticize the game.
Many streamers signed without reading just to play
