This guy says that his sources correctly predicted the date of Heroes Omega's death

Well, if some random person on Steam says so...

 

[Deleted member 4093]

If its true that would explain why its removed from tournys

 

[Imran]

I wouldn't be shocked if it's taken off the store, but shut down I don't see. There's no real benefit to it and it saves a negligible amount.

 

[memoryman3]

If true...that was quick. Quicker than the death of Mario and Sonic Rio 2016 :(

I'd rather get a source that's better than some rando on Steam.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Slightly surprised this took so long to reach here.

But then again, maybe not.

 

[Cronogear]

Not happening.

 

[Njepr Patrovsk]

Fake news.

 

[TacomaSCDisaster]

I saw that going around. I wouldn't be shocked, honestly. Seems to have underperformed on every front.

 

[Nirolak]

A random person on Steam doesn't seem like a great source. That said, there's probably something worthwhile for an actual site to investigate given Marvel sure hasn't been saying a lot about their game lately even on their own news updates page.

 

[Gunny T Highway]

There is no way they would be shutting it down that soon. Random guy on Steam is not a source.

 

[DontHateTheBacon]

Seems pretty unlikely, but the fact that I wouldn't be shocked if it happened... pretty much says it all.

Jesus Christ, this took me a moment.

 

[Arsic]

Why give up free money ? Folks will buy it on sales.

 

[Deleted member 4359]

Too hilarious if genuine lol.

 

[Meg Cherry]

This doesn't seem likely, or even verifiable.

That said, I could see Capcom seriously retooling Infinite after the reaction. In a way that could involve them taking the game down from Steam, and relisting it after some major design improvements.

 

[Deleted member 1413]

I'm not sure why his source that covers a Marvel game not made by Capcom would know when MVCI is meant to shut down

 

[MechaX]

It being delisted is totally possible given it's... well, Marvel.

But as I said in the FG Community thread, someone should at least do some digging/asking around about the shut down part.

 

[Kyle Cross]

That... isn't a reliable source at all.

 

[JarlRaven]

Real skeptical about this this seems like way too much of an extreme measure to take.

 

[Aokiji]

"Shut down" in what sense? Cut server support? Eh seems unlikely

 

[Mary Celeste]

no fucking way

 

[Vertpin]

How sad. I hope Marvel 4 is just as crazy as two and three, and go back to 3v3.

Fucking amazing.

 

[TaterTots]

With how poorly the game has done. I can take the word of a random guy.

I see all the people Photoshop'd in but I still don't get it.

 

[Rob]

I'm not shocked at all. It's a shame the game released in the state it was in, but I was really hoping for one last hurrah to course-correct.

Even though I have it on PS4, I'll more than likely start to pick up the game and DLC on Steam, just to future proof it a bit.

 

[Bhonar]

I would laugh so hard if this turns out true

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Shut down servers or de-list the game?

wat...and why.

 

[Ferrio]

If true we might have grounds for a lawsuit based on the game's title.

 

[Chief Malik]

Lol bullshit. You can still play marvel 3 on vita online.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Bullshit.

Spoiler

would explain the lack of Evo tho

 

[Imperfected]

Seems like a "tree falls in the forest" thought experiment, regardless.

 

[GamerEra]

Makes sense. When a game like Monster Hunter World sells 6 million in a month it doesn't make sense to keep servers for a game like MvCi online if it's only sold like 1mil.

 

[Poutine Runner 2049]

Its a licensed game, its only a matter of time before it gets delisted. The bad reception may have sped that along.

i can't stop laughing

 

[Milennia]

this would be a legendary failure, but i guess getting cut from tournaments is the start of something like this potentially happening

 

[Chief Malik]

You can still play marvel 2(which is delighted) online. If they mean removal from digital stores and Capcom loosing the marvel license again, maybe.

 

[Deleted member 364]

Let's wait for a source that isn't some guy on Steam forums lol.

 

[NinjaScooter]

Where is that Ken model from?

 

[catvonpee]

If this does happen I hope they take note as to the real reasons it failed and make a new game, and not abandon the game forever.

 

[mrmickfran]

Doubtful

But if they did that would be shorter than even Gravity Rush 2 lmao

I did not see it until someone quoted it.

The fuck happened to this game.

 

[Argot]

Nah, not buying this one. Even with how disappointing Infinite has been.

 

[criteriondog]

Jesus

 

[Deleted member 4037]

I cant believe it, that would be really quick if true

 

[TitanicFall]

If true, it's disappointing. I would rather see a series go out on a high note.
