You’re on the hook for MultiVersus refunds – Um, what?
MultiVersus was always a risky venture. I mean, so many Smash-likes have risen and died since the brawler that started it all(er) came out on the Nintendo 64: but if you’re going to shove Batman, Superman, Shaggy Rogers, Game of Thrones (?!), Tom and Jerry, and more into the same game, you better back it up with quality and support.
