Summary
MultiVersusplayers really aren’t happy about the introduction of purchasable Toast in the item shop, which currently works out at around two cents per piece of Toast.
As TheGamer’s main MultiVersus fan, it pains me to say that the long-awaited relaunch of the game hasn’t exactly been going down well with fans.Although the new characters and mechanics have been widely praised(as have the datamined fighters like Daffy Duck and Samurai Jack), pretty mucheverything else has been fairly met with complaints and backlash.
There are a lot of issues that MultiVersus players have with the game right now, but the biggest is its monetisation which, just like with Mortal Kombat 1 and Suicide Squad, has been deemed greedy and expensive. The latest example of this comes in the form of purchasable Toast,something that the community has made clear it’s not happy about.
MultiVersus Players Really Don’t Like Purchasable Toast
One of the most unique elements of the original MultiVersus open beta was its Toast mechanic, which let players send a little bit of love to anyone they’d just battled with as a fun way of saying GG. That mechanic has returned for the relaunch, but its importance has been played down a ton, with most players seemingly not knowing it’s still an option.
Since the relaunch, players have been begging Player First Games for a more reliable way of earning and sending Toast in-game, and that monkey’s paw wish has just curled. Earlier this week,a bundle of 30 Toast was added to the Item Shop for 50 Gleamium, which works out to around two cents per piece of Toast.
As you can probably imagine, charging players for what’s supposed to be a good-natured show of sportsmanship hasn’t exactly gone down well with the MultiVersus community. Over on the game’s subreddit,, who shared a picture of the Toast bundle and called it an “absolute joke”.
To make matters worse, Toast used to be purchasable using Gold in the original Open Beta version of MultiVersus.
That post is currently one of the most up-voted on the MultiVersus subreddit, with tons of comments from players calling it a “nickel and dime” situation and saying that the wish for more Toasts has been granted in the worst possible way. Thereaction to Toasts being purchasable has also been negative on Twitter, with almost everyone being baffled by the decision.
The only good to come from the situation is that some players are now requesting that Player First Games introduces an option that lets players trade in their unwanted currencies for Toast, which seems like a much more preferable situation than what we’ve got currently.
