The creator of Marvel Rivals, NetEase, has apologized to angry players who were wrongfully banned for cheating.
NetEase said in a Discord post that it had unintentionally labeled certain players who were participating in compatibility layer programs as cheaters, although they were not using cheating tools. Unfortunately, NetEase does not specify the number of bogus bans that came from this.
“We want to reassure you that we do not and will not ban gamers that are playing legitimately and without cheating,” NetEase stated, expressing their genuine regret for the incident.
A list of the impacted gamers has been created, and their bans have been lifted, according to the developer. The statement read, “We have compiled a list of affected gamers and established the particular causes for these incorrect bans.” “These bans have been revoked, and we sincerely apologize for any trouble this has caused.”
NetEase continued by stating that it is making investments to enhance its anti-cheat software and urging gamers to report cheats they come across. Here is the complete rest of the statement:
