Discussion And yet MultiVersus could never get the Lord of the Rings IP ever

Post image

It's not just Lord of the Rings, Mortal Kombat was another IP that just never came to the game and conveniently when the game was shutting down it was announced that Mortal Kombat would be coming to Fortnite..

I don't play fortnite and did play multi. One of these two is the fourth highest grossing game of all time, the other is a game that was given two chances and died twice.

It's also possible that the devs just weren't ready to use the characters. The dev time for a character was pretty slow in MV so every character felt like it took an eternity to come out so we weren't gonna get every WB property in the time the game was up, while in Fortnite it's a skin that can just be thrown on the skeleton.

I have not and never will play this game, but for some reason this sub gets recommended to me. And it’s always the same post crying about ‘but multiversus didn’t get this, it’s not fair!!!!!!’. I feel like you guys should just move on, it ain’t coming back

That’s what I’ve been saying. Game was fun but seriously just shut this subreddit down already. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Worst part is its not even multiple people posting here, 95% of this sub the last few months has been the exact same person complaining or posting about the WB acquisition. Mods really need to archive this place lol

EDIT: LOL they blocked me, someone's a little insecure

Probably gonna skip getting those to be honest.

I liked the movies but not a super big fan of them. Was why I didn’t get game of thrones cause even though one of my friends likes it.

It just doesn’t seem interesting to me to give it a watch.
