See EA and Disney are perfect match.
I wonder what happened at Gazillion Entertainment that they had to abruptly end the relationship.
well they absolutey destroyed the game and left pc players in dark with everything while they forced console on everyone, they completey changed the whole game on pc including mechanics of everything just to introduce in a console port. the players they had on pc were basically hardcore fans who spent loads of money, and once brevik and doomsaw left and then ryolnir shit went south, then david doorman came in who its now come out hes a shady fucker and has a massive scandal on him of doing sexual harrasement.
RIP. The game was good at one point. I'll find another place to play as Kate Bishop in a game, I guess.
I downloaded it as soon as it came to PS4, thinking "I'll definitely start this up once there's lull between games I want to play."
Guess that was another benefit of 2017 being wall-to-wall full of great games.

I suspect that would be more of a hero shooter.
The Marvel MOBA is made by a Korean outfit:
yeah i thought about getting back into heroes, but I heard they changed up the whole thing and people weren't happy
what exactly did they do?
Didn't the PS4 version I was absolutely enjoying JUST come out a few months ago!! I was enjoying it too!!
short summarary, the player base on pc was small (this was with brevik at the helm) he use to live stream every week with his wife and play the game and just chat with everyone it was a small community of up to about 10k players max on pc then but they all spent alot of money and it was fairly tight, they went through layoffs after layoffs and then they pushed doomsaw and brevik out who were mostly the masterminds behind the game, and then the new ceo came about and they decided to overhaul every system in the game down to how all 50 heroes skill mechanically function and the movement of the game in general and had pc players test all this stuff and get it fine tuned, then once it was launched to pc, they announce oh by the way console version inbound dont expect much more stuff on pc and they basically then went dark with their pc players.
I'm not surprised. Game was a mess on console. You can tell that this game was the result of a lot of hard work on a shoe string budget. It really needed a shot in the arm or a remake from the bottom up.
The idea was excellent but the execution was flawed.

What a shame. I dropped off the game in a big way over the last 2 years, but I always held out hope that someday, maybe it might get better. I preferred Marvel Heroes to other Diablo-likes such as Path of Exile because it was just coated in fanservice. I loved seeing how my favourite Marvel characters were represented in game. Nothing in a Diablo-like has ever been as enjoyable as raining down death as 80s Mohawk Storm.
Wow that's out of nowhere. Used to play the game a while back but it felt like they just didn't really know what direction to take things.
But it's crazy how Disney can just end relationships like this...
Wonder if they can end it with EA too.

Ouch that hurts. Played this more than any other online game except maybe Team Fortress Classic in the 90s. Spent a lot on it too. However the changes they made the past year ruined it and just didn't enjoy it anymore.
Didnt this just come out? I only bought the starter pack and spent a bunch of money on it just a month or two ago, i swear it was a pretty recent release on PS4
Is all of my money gone then? I spent probably a good 80 dollars :( and i assume Playstation wont offer refunds

OK ... so all of that sucks. But what's your source on this part?
Because that's probably the reason Disney cut ties with the studio and shut the game down without warning, if true.
you got to be kidding me, When i got the X last week, I had just given my friends kid my Xbox One S on...Sunday? He was super excited to play Marvel Heroes, I just downloaded it myself so he can play online with someone he knows at least.....I don't have nice things to say, so I won't say them..
Not happy. Now I get to explain to him that Disney (which he loves) are nothing but big Fun Sponges...and that is putting it politely.

I really wish that we had better Marvel mobile games on par with DC.
I want to know this. Its absurd that i was spending money on it and they can just shut it down with no warning at all.
AFAIK it had 500 daily players on Steam for months. Few years ago it had 5000.
They've effectively killed their game with the "Biggest Update Ever" that dumbed down most of the games gameplay to streamline it with the (then unannounced) console port. That's when most of the active/hardcore fans left.
I played it for a little bit real early on but those type of Diablo games aren't my favorite. I have a hard time playing them for more than a few hours. Seems abrupt from the outside but from posts in this thread it may have been some time coming.
