Summary
- A Donald Trump mod for Marvel Rivals appears to have been banned due to sociopolitical issues, violating Nexus Mods rules.
- NetEase Games, developer of Marvel Rivals, hasn’t responded to issues over character mods.
A contentious mod featuring Donald Trump in the game Marvel Rivals appears to have been prohibited. Ever since its release roughly a month back, Marvel Rivals has drawn in countless gamers globally, as they strive to excel with various Marvel characters and climb up the leaderboard.
In the realm of hero shooters, Marvel Rivals delivers an enjoyable gaming experience, enabling players to devise clever tactics and capitalize on the intricate interplay among characters to emerge victorious in matches. On the other side, some players have been upgrading their gameplay by incorporating custom mods for Marvel Rivals, which allow them to alter the heroes’ visual appearances. This transformation has encompassed a variety of changes, from introducing comic book and movie-inspired costumes, all the way to swapping out default characters with models reminiscent of those from Fortnite, such as Captain America and Spider-Man.
A user on Nexus Mods recently shared a mod featuring Donald Trump in one of Marvel Rivals’ top Vanguards, Captain America. This modification sparked interest on social media, with some gamers actively seeking those using the Joe Biden mod to engage in matches together. However, it appears that Nexus Mods has taken down and hidden the Trump mod, as users are now met with an error page indicating it’s not available on their site. Similarly, the Biden mod seems to be difficult to find on the platform when searching for it.
Why Was the Donald Trump Marvel Rivals Mod Removed?
2020 saw Nexus Mods publish a blog post announcing they’d ban mods pertaining to U.S. sociopolitical matters. They also requested users to flag any mods that might breach this regulation. This announcement coincided with the heated presidential election, where Donald Trump (the then-incumbent) was running against Joe Biden, who ultimately emerged as the winner.
On social media platforms, Marvel Rivals fans didn’t find it unexpected that the mod was taken down, often commenting on the inappropriateness of Captain America’s character being used to represent Trump. However, a small group voiced their dissatisfaction with Nexus Mods for prohibiting political content from its site. It’s worth noting that Trump has been incorporated into video game mods before, and while many have likely been taken down from Nexus Mods, there are still modifications available for games such as Skyrim, Fallout 4, and XCOM 2 that include this controversial figure.
Contrarily, NetEase Games, the developer of Marvel Rivals, hasn’t spoken about the matter of character mods that feature contentious or political figures within the game. Given its recent release, NetEase has been primarily focusing on dealing with various issues, including resolving gameplay glitches and rectifying erroneous bans for players of Marvel Rivals.
