An interesting story unfolded around Marvel Rivals. It’s both intriguing and pleasant because we saw how quickly the developers responded to player feedback.

The story itself is quite simple: the Marvel Rivals team announced a partial rating reset for all players. This announcement was met with backlash, which isn’t surprising. People don’t like being forced to grind more to reach the desired rank and rewards. Not everyone has the time or commitment for that, so a universal demotion in the middle of the season raised valid concerns.

However, within a day, the developers quickly addressed the issue on social media, stating that the decision had been reversed. After a big game update on February 21, players' ratings would remain unchanged.

This story highlights how important it is to communicate with your audience and listen to their feedback. Poor communication and a refusal to engage in dialogue have sunk more than one live-service game, and it’s refreshing that the Marvel Rivals developers have learned from others’ mistakes.
