Marvel Rivals, a new multiplayer shooter by NetEase, quickly attracted 20 million players after its December 2024 launch. However, despite its early success, a number of US employees, including key developers, have been laid off. This has sparked outrage among players, leading to a barrage of negative reviews on Steam, protesting that the game’s popularity didn’t shield the team from layoffs. Currently ranked among the top 5 games by active users, the disconnect between game success and employee treatment has raised questions in the gaming community.
Welp, just got laid off from my job working on Marvel Rivals with NetEase.
My stellar, talented team just helped deliver an incredibly successful new franchise in Marvel Rivals... and were just laid off!
