In Marvel Rivals' case, NetEase says it's being used to provide "confidential information like damage and healing statistics" and allowing players to "selectively ban heroes, predict opponents' ultimate abilities, and more, severely undermining the fairness of our game."

NetEase is getting more aggressive when it comes to cracking down on the use of third-party plugins while playing Marvel Rivals. It's now banning the use of an application called Blitz, although NetEase is being lenient in that it won't ban players who previously used the software.

Marvel Rivals has cracked down on a third-party plugin known as Blitz. In an official warning issued by the developers, they have informed if players are found using this plugin, they will be facing bans or even account suspensions. However, there is a silver lining for players who have been using this third-party plugin till now.

Blitz allowed players to see stats from enemy players during a match.

Marvel Rivals has had a number of headlines this week with the hero-shooter dropping its mid-season update, completing the launch of the full Fantastic Four, and seemingly contracting development outside of China by laying off a number of US-based staff.
