I still don't know what type of game Rivals is
Turns out I also don't care
Care to explain what's wrong with it?
I'm not the person you replied to.
Netease is a Chinese company and some people don't like that. They have also been known to make scummy, cash grab, micro transaction riddled games and are disliked for this.
It's not that they are "a Chineese" company, it is that they have issues that are repeated in every game they have and it turns into a privacy / morality nightmare.
I.e. chat is censored, so cannot type "free Taiwan". Also the game is catered to casual players. This led them to add bots to PvP matches - where every 2 losses you get put into an unskippable bot match, where you stomp the other team. This is to make you keep playing and not get discouraged. But once you know about it, it's just a 15 min pity waste of time you could spend actually playing the game.
