The story of MultiVersus is one that should be studied in gaming industry textbooks, right alongside the cautionary tale of Concord's failure. As the game nears its end, the developers have unveiled the final two characters: Lola Bunny and Aquaman. This announcement comes at a time when fan frustration has reached a boiling point, with some players going as far as to threaten the developers.
MultiVersus game director Tony Huynh has responded to these threats in a detailed message, pleading with the community to refrain from such actions. He issued an apology to fans who were disappointed that their favorite characters did not make it into the game and expressed hope that they would find enjoyment in the content of the game's final Season 5. Huynh also took the opportunity to clarify the complexities behind character additions, noting that his influence over these decisions was much more limited than some fans might have believed.
Following the announcement of MultiVersus' impending shutdown, players have expressed frustration over their inability to use in-game tokens to unlock new characters—a feature that was supposed to be a perk for those who bought the $100 edition of the game. This issue may have been a significant factor contributing to the threats against the developers.
