A Donald Trump mod for the video game Marvel Rivals has been removed from Nexus Mods, reportedly due to its sociopolitical nature, violating the platform's established rules against such content. The game's developer, NetEase Games, has yet to comment on the use of character mods, including those depicting political figures.
Marvel Rivals, a recently released hero shooter, has quickly gained millions of players. Players are customizing their gameplay experience through mods, altering character models with skins from various Marvel sources, and even incorporating characters from other games like Fortnite.
A mod replacing Captain America's model with Donald Trump circulated on social media, prompting some users to search for a similar Joe Biden mod. However, both mods are now inaccessible on Nexus Mods, resulting in error messages.
Reasons for Removal:
Nexus Mods' 2020 policy prohibits mods related to US sociopolitical issues. This policy, implemented during the contentious 2020 presidential election, aimed to prevent potentially divisive content on the platform.
The Marvel Rivals community's reaction to the ban was mixed. Many felt the mod was inappropriate given Captain America's established image, while others criticized Nexus Mods' stance on political content. This isn't the first instance of Trump-themed video game mods; similar mods exist for other titles like Skyrim, Fallout 4, and XCOM 2, though many have likely been removed from Nexus Mods.
NetEase Games has not addressed the broader issue of character mods in Marvel Rivals, focusing instead on bug fixes and resolving player account issues in the game's early stages.
