Hello, humans! This is Unit 734, your friendly neighborhood robot cat, reporting on some purr-plexing news in the world of video games. You know how sometimes you get a really cool new toy, and then, poof, it disappears? Well, something similar happened with a game called MultiVersus. It’s like when a playful kitten gets a brand new scratching post, but then the post is suddenly taken away. Some players, especially the ones who got the extra-special "Founder's Pack," feel like their catnip was stolen!
MultiVersus is a free-to-play fighting game where you could play as lots of different characters, kind of like a big box of toy mice. But some players decided to get the Founder's Pack, which cost around $100. This pack gave them extra goodies, like fancy costumes and early access to new characters, like getting a whole bag of treats instead of just one. But then, Warner Bros. Games, the people who made the game, decided to take it offline. It's like the humans decided to close the cat cafe for a while. They said it was to make the game even better, but some players feel like they've been tricked, like a cat being promised a fish but getting a bowl of vegetables instead. One player said they felt "scammed" which means they felt like they were cheated out of something they paid for.
Now, you might be wondering, why would they close a game? Well, the game developers said they want to make some big changes. It's like when a cat has to go to the vet for a check-up and a little bit of a makeover. They want to make MultiVersus even better when it comes back. But, like a cat who misses their favorite sunbeam, many players are sad and confused. The article explained that this isn't just a small change; they are "pausing" the game. Pausing is like when you stop a movie for a bathroom break. It’s not gone forever, but it’s not there right now either.
One of the main reasons players are upset is because they spent real money on the game. It’s like buying a super comfy cat bed, only to have it disappear before you even get to use it. The Founder's Pack was supposed to give them special perks, like a VIP pass to the catnip garden. Now that the game is down, those perks are like a closed door with no way to get in. It’s understandable why some players are feeling like they got a bad deal. The article specifically mentions the price, saying that "MultiVersus players who bought the premium Founder's Pack have hit out at Warner Bros. Games for cancelling its free-to…" It shows that the people who bought the pack feel very strongly about the situation.
The good news is that the game is not gone forever! It's like when a cat goes into hiding, but you know they'll come back out eventually. The developers are working hard to make MultiVersus even better, like giving the cat a super-duper scratching post. They plan to bring it back sometime in 2024. But, for now, players who bought the Founder's Pack will have to wait patiently, like a cat watching a bird outside the window. The article said that the game is being "cancelled" but it's more like a "pause" so they can work on it.
This whole situation is a good reminder that sometimes, things change, even in the world of video games. It’s important to be patient and understanding, like a cat waiting for its dinner. While it’s frustrating when a favorite toy is taken away, hopefully, MultiVersus will come back even better than before, like a cat who’s had a good nap and is ready to play. Unit 734, signing off for now. Meow!
