Marvel Rivals players were shocked after several listings of Closed Alpha Test (CAT) keys surfaced online on marketplaces and social media, with prices ranging from anywhere between $25 \u2013 $100. The prices were shared on the Marvel Rivals community subreddit where players have shown their amusement, with some even stating such listings as \u201cAbsolutely absurd\u201d and \u201cridiculous\u201d for a game that was supposed to be free to play. However, some players believe that most of these sellers are scammers and are simply phishing users across social media to purchase a fake game code from them. Regardless, some players didn\u2019t mind the risk of spending $20 to purchase the code and enjoy the CAT while it lasts. One such user said, \u201cI mean I\u2019m not gonna lie, if a key was at like around 20 bucks I would\u2019ve probably bought one as well, because the way they are distributing the keys is just the worst possible way they could\u2019ve gone with. But paying way above that is just plain stupid and mind-boggling (and also think of the risk of getting scammed lol).\u201d NetEase Games\u2019 strategy to limit CAT codes for Marvel Rivals has been criticized by many. The ongoing CAT only gives access to players who have either received a code from the sign-up process, Twitch or Discord giveaways, or to those who received a key from a friend. However, those who haven\u2019t been lucky with a code are resorting to trading sites or platforms to purchase one from traders. While the CAT access is free for all and players can complete milestones to grab extra invite codes for their friends, some with access are selling these extra codes on platforms like G2A, Ebay, and so on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marvel Rivals players stunned as closed alpha codes sell for \u201cridiculous\u201d prices online NetEase GamesMarvel Rivals players have described closed alpha codes prices as \u201cridiculously high\u201d after listings appeared online on websites and social media.
