Square-Enix reports a $62 million USD loss due to Marvel's Avengers.

[Wrexis]

Ouch. I've seen threads on Era about how no-one's playing it.

 

[Professor Beef]

but it hit #1 on npd!!! /s

 

[Rodrigues solitaire]

Oof, 3 million sold is a dismal performance.

There's currently 914 people playing this game on Steam - the only platform available on PC. Lol.

 

[nightstalker962]

Bomba confirmed.

 

[Lifejumper]

Yooo...

 

[Biosnake]

Yikes

 

[Kyoufu]

Avengers flopped pretty hard.

 

[BassForever]

Does this make Marvels Avengers the biggest bomb of the year?

 

[Interrobang]

Good. IP was such easy money and they decided to do the worst possible thing with it. Hopefully this is one of the nails in the coffin for GAAS.

 

[Terbinator]

W00f.

Hopefully the studio don't suffer losses of staff as a result.

 

[JuniperAndSage]

Having played the demo, that sounds about right.

 

[dragonflys545]

Yeah game was pretty boring... I hope they can fix it.

 

[dancingphlower]

That's... really bad right?

 

[Deleted member 2791]

It pretty much bombed outside of its US launch, before cratering there. Not surprised.

Considering the IP probably

 

[Jake2byFour]

I remember people said this game was gonna make bank. Yikes

 

[Callibretto]

That's gotta sting. This is on top of having to pay the marvel license, right?

 

[Sorel]

Don't release game before they're ready ! How hard is it to understand !

 

[Voytek]

Good. IP was such easy money and they decided to do the worst possible thing with it. Hopefully this is one of the nails in the coffin for GAAS.

Agree.

 

[Kuro]

How long until Square sells off their Eidos branch? They seem to be really struggling with that side of things.

 

[FormatCompatible]

Damn that's pretty bad specially considering how big the ip is.

 

[ArmGunar]

Lol it was expected, Crystal Dynamics games are expensive and the game was not hot sales wise

In the other hand, Sony will probably make this amount but in net profits day one with Miles lol

 

[ViewtifulJC]

It always looked bad. Always. Even the people who bought it for whatever reason dropped it faster Atlanta falcon receivers.

they really cancelled Deus Ex for this smh

 

[strudelkuchen]

Always looked like a bomba.

 

[R dott B]

Mediocre game so not really a surprise.

 

[Duxxy3]

It probably didn't help that there were no Marvel movies released this year. I wonder if it would have been better to wait for Black Widow to be released. Of course the absolute best time would have been when Endgame was in theaters.

 

[Hyun Sai]

Wait, did it sell LESS than Anthem despite being the fucking Avengers franchise ?

 

[Deleted member 7051]

Imagine selling three million copies of a game and that's somehow not good enough.

Don't get me wrong, Avengers has a lot of issues and should never been a GAAS title because the post game content just isn't there and the delays on additional content has totally killed whatever little momentum it actually had, but three million copies is a huge number and Square Enix has a history of expecting way too much. How did they honestly expect the game to sell five million copies?

 

[Martinski]

Good to see people aren't falling for these GaaS failures.

 

[Earvin Infinity]

Spirits Within-esque financial bomba for SE?​

 

[DeathyG]

Really hate how Crystal Dynamics was wasted on a goddamn GaaS.

 

[chandoog]

It was (is) a terrible game. I can't really act surprised.

 

[Deleted member 10629]

Shame. The game isn't that bad, but it has 'designed by committee' written all over it.

 

[Magneto]

Hopefully this is one of the nails in the coffin for GAAS.

We won't live long enough to see the end of GAAS games.

Fucking lmfao

 

[DigSCCP]

So that means that Eidos Montreal is back with Deus Ex I hope !

 

[Zedelima]

Their falt. If this was a SP game in the same vein o Spider-man, and had received positive buzz, it would have sold a lot more

 

[Griffins22]

It's kind of hard to believe an Avengers game could flop so hard. I'll probably end up getting it for like $10 at some point lmao

 

[DanteMenethil]

That was so not worth it to put Deus Ex on hold for this.

 

[Blade30]

Ooof thats bomba. I'm surprised it cost over $100 million. Square seems to be struggling a bit with their western games in terms of budget and sales expectations.

 

[canderous]

They really squandered that IP didn't they?

 

[Knight in Shining Armani]

Three million? Jesus.

 

[ghostcrew]

F2P update when

 

[Deleted member 63122]

Western ips for Square don´t perform that well. Hopefully, Square go back to their roots.

 

[LoadingErrorMTL]

Oh dang. Well there it is.

What a shame for a potential huge IP.

 

[Moebius]

Sounded like this game was designed to extract money from fans so I stayed away from it.

 

[Serene]

Imagine being given such a lucrative IP and blowing that.

 

[jett]

Man.

 

[Billfisto]

It's a shame - the SP is actually pretty dang good.

It's too bad they saddled it with uncompelling MP and the world's worst cosmetic microtransactions.

 

[Noppie]

Expected since the first trailer. Game never looked any good.
