I thought marvel rivals was doing well? Are the people in charge just being shit or what's going on?

I've seen claims that this is just the level design team, and that NetEase is consolidating development, but I have not seen that presented as anything other than rumor at this point.

I did see I missed an actual new article that might get some kind of update in the future, if NetEase responds. No idea if/when that'll happen though:

But yeah, the game seems to be a big success? Kinda wild.
