what?Dave Doorman is a sexual predator and will probably continue to be employed as an executive in this or a related industry.
Not the consumers problemHow would Sony even offer refunds? Wouldn't they have already distributed Gazillion's cut from the sales?
Oh yeah that's entertainment for youThe guy who became CEO after David Brevik left is apparently a real piece of shit, and I'm just assuming he will fail upwards because that's what scumbag executives do.
Nothing can be played offline, no.
Going off sheer memory, I think a company needs to have a minimum of 100 FT employees, and at least 50 in a particular location, for federal law to apply and make it illegal to close down without warning.This shit right here is fucking disgusting and is going to lead a lawsuit. You can't just pull the rug out from people like that.
Wow, thats terrible for the devs, and Sony can die in a fire for that ridiculous response they give to your friend OP.
Man that's not funny...So they fired a gazillion employees? Sorry for the cheap joke...
What a shitty situation. This industry is filled with whales and sharks.
Companies need to work on their sustainability, damnit.
What dreadful timing. I feel bad for everyone involved. This is just bad.
Just to be clear, Gazillion had a lot of employees who worked their asses off and cared about the community. Blame Dohrmann, not the entire studio.
How? I was told by two separate support people that they were completely unable to provide any sort of refund. Where are you from? The US?
It's a free to play game. You can't buy the game, just spend money on microtransactions.Wow that really sucks, what if someone just bought the game some weeks ago? They definitely need to do some kind of refund.
EDIT: My friend who spent on the $90 on the PS4 version at launch just contacted Sony support. He was told they will not refund because, "You spent the money and activated it."
I just got the platinum trophy a few hours ago. I was afraid they would pull the servers early, glad I didn't wait.
Congrats on your platinum. Thank goodness they fired everyone a few days after you received it and not before.
Think of what may have happened to your gamer cred?

I would say that this is obviously a special case and Sony needs to help out their customers here. Yes, we all know that we might lose access to digital content in a game like this eventually. Absolutely no one expects that to happen less than 5 months after it launches on consoles despite it being on PCs for 3-4 years prior.
Wow, didn't know that MS was that fast on solving problems.I just got my refund of $30 from Microsoft no issues
I did it in chat too, didnt think it would be that easy, took a lil while but got my credit, now have some money on Xbox live to go shopping :)

Would be great is Sony follows their example.
Realistically, Sony may never get the money back from Gazillion if they do that.Sony should make an one time exception and refund anyone who purchased Marvel Heroes and especially considering that the devs are shutting down early.
Why can't they just refund it no problem? Is PlayStation customer support really that inept? I'm not sure tweeting at Shuhei or anyone from Sony will do anything but you never know.

For what reason should Sony give Gazillion more credit when banks find them too much of a credit risk?
I'm hearing this from a few people at the moment. Still trying to get all of the details as it is a mix of Twitter and stuff on Discord.
- Gazillion has apparently fired their employees today, the day before Thanksgiving.
- Marvel Heroes was announced to be shutting down on December 31, 2017. Word from the official Discord server is that they will instead pull the plug in TWO days. There may not even be an official announcement, it could just be shut down.
- Players are trying to get refunds on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, due to how ridiculous it is that it's alerady being shut down after launching less than 5 months ago. I've heard some people having better luck with Microsoft than Sony.
