Ah, that sweet feeling when you spend $100 on a "Founder's Pack" that promises to reward you for your early support – and then... The game will simply be turned off.No reason to panic, right? But that's exactly what some people are experiencing right now. Multi Versus-Players who have invested their $100 in tokens and Gleamium and are now wondering if they might have been better off investing in a pile of unused air.

Multiversus founders take to the barricades

Because after the announcement that the fifth season of Multi Versus Since it will be the last one, the "Founder's Pack" buyers have taken to the barricades. They feel "cheated"—as is currently being hotly debated on [website/platform name]. Reddit It's being discussed – and you can kind of understand why. They paid for 30 character tokens and a lot of Gleamium that they could never really use. And why? Because the game is simply shut down before they can redeem their eagerly awaited rewards.

Yes, there was a time when you could simply unlock characters for the same price. But hey, not everything lasts forever, right? Instead, "tokens" were introduced to encourage players to build up their digital collection. Well, what's left if the game shuts down before you've spent all your tokens? A nice bit of empty space. But don't worry – at least Aquaman and Lola are available as free fighters, and the other six fighters aren't a huge deal, are they? Or are they?

Is the belief in live service just a pipe dream?

Some players emphasize that they saved their tokens for "future updates"—the hope for more fighters and content persists until the very end. But here's the catch: If you pay for a product and it not only no longer exists, but the promised rewards also can't be fully redeemed, then you might actually wonder if you didn't deserve more than "tokens."

Some die-hards in the community are even saying that "anyone who says buyers deserve to be ripped off because they're tokens and not characters is crazy." And yes, they have a point. It's not just about whether the tokens are now "worthless" or not—it's about the principle. A product sold as a "reward package" must deliver on its promised features. If a game simply disappears after purchase, the player is left with little choice but to ask: "Why pay at all?"

Whether Warner Bros. Games or Player First Games will offer a refund for the lost rewards remains to be seen. But if they don't, players are left with only one thing: the realization that in this world, "founders" are sometimes just those who have messed up the most.
