Marvel Rivals is having a massive decline of players, and it seems that things won’t get better for the PC hero shooter. Nobody really asked for this game but when it came out it suddenly became extremely popular, now its fluctuating to the point nobody cares about it being one year in. Leaving Concord aside, this is a massive flop for an industry titan that was meant to shake the live service world, but it becomes yet another example of why Live Service games aren’t profitable and we need to get rid of them as soon as possible. There’s more issues with these kinds of games too.
Marvel Rivals is dying very quick
It has been some months, pretty much a year now, and the game is on a rapid decline that does not seem to be one it can recover from. This the fate of every sort of live service game that has released after the big ones have achieved to capture a massive amount of players. Nobody wants to play more of these games because nobody has the time to invest more hours into them. Live service games are built to compete against each other for retention, and something puny like Marvel Rivals can’t really compete with a well established title like Counter Strike for example.
Yet, we see that the greed of the industry makes companies gamble into developing the next new game, the next Fortnite even. However they fail, they succumb to the fact that the live service space has been taken by people who have years of experience in the industry, so what they do is a classic pump and dump scam. The playerbase for these games keep declining further and things will get worse and worse for Marvel Rivals. Perhaps we might see it close next year, or even this year too.
