[QUOTE="Admin, post: 70421, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/03/05/ss-18825994ebe8d92f0700bcd1ecc118f48b4fc6a6-1920x1080-1772727624156.jpg[/IMG] The developer of [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/marvel-rivals']Marvel Rivals[/URL] has addressed what it called the “disturbing trend” of "incentivized throwing,” where players are enticed by third-party bounties to deliberately sabotage matches. Last month, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/get-paid-to-throw-unofficial-marvel-rivals-bounty-website-faces-backlash-as-players-ask-netease-to-intervene']Marvel Rivals players called on developer NetEase Games to take action[/URL] after the emergence of an unofficial bounty website that triggered fears it could harm the community it was supposedly trying to protect. Fans of the hero shooter sounded the alarm when third-party site [URL='https://www.intlist.org/'][U]Intlist.org[/U][/URL] went live on February 22. Established by Marvel Rivals content creator and X/Twitter user EchoRivals, Intlist’s goal was to give players an avenue to name those who intentionally sabotage or “throw” multiplayer matches and “put a price on their head.” “Put a bounty on griefers & throwers,” the first, now-deleted post on its X account read, promising a system that offered an 80% payout for those who successfully throw matches in retaliation. “Someone queues in, throws it back, gets paid.” One [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelrivals/comments/1rdm7f8/are_we_for_real_there_is_bounties_for_throwing/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button'][U]Reddit user[/U][/URL] calling attention to the issue said they’d seen an increase in sabotaged matches for every kind of player, warning that “now every game is people throwing each other’s games.” The Intlist account [URL='https://x.com/IntlistOrg/status/2025784791572873573?s=20'][U]replied[/U][/URL] to the criticism, insisting: “Collateral damage is an unfortunate reality of war.” Now, in an official statement published to the Marvel Rivals Discord, NetEase threatened players who engaged with external bounties with a permanent ban.
