No, the end of Marvel Heroes was a totally inept management team. I don't remember if they just forgot to renew their license or wound up breaking it somehow in connection with the sex scandal involving the CEO, but its rare for a game it shut down entirely rather then just stopping development and letting it live on to soak what you can from cash shop.

Wasn't there that issue where Marvel/Disney was being really strict with licenses again? Maybe they asked too much money to renew it or something so what was left of Gaz just decided gently caress it.

Gazillion lost the license because they didn't have a big enough player base or enough whales to keep a steady income. When things started to go south because pc playerbase was leaving instead of trying to fix the game they tried to attract the console players with the Xbox and PS ports. They got a new playerbase on console but lots of pc players left the game because they didn't update or fixed the game on PC while working on the console ports.

Like i said i have a lot of hours played on Marvel Heroes, not in the thousands like some of the posters here just in the hundreds, and the game maybe wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. It was fun and that was it's only saving grace, once the game became less fun, like with the movement updates or the "Biggest Update Ever" ( that was just half an update because they left to focus on the console version first before finishing it), people just left the game.

Old Brev said part of it was the initial license was negotiated with Marvel's old license team who were replaced as part of the Disney/MCU shuffle and the new guys hated the game.

I've tried 3 times to watch the first episode and just could not get into it. It was super slow and none of the characters seemed interesting. It might have been bearable if anything at all of note happened in that episode but it moved at a snail's pace.

Umbrella Academy wasn't great to me but I already posted about it in the Netflix/Hulu/Streaming PYF thread. As I see it the ham-fisted writing keeps the characters from acting like a person actually would so they're just mechanisms for advancing the thin plot or for generating extremely artificial/overwrought drama. It's like the majority of really bad X-men comics, especially from the 80's.

It's why I love it. It's like the X-Men but then it's like "but really, if the X-Men were a thing, they'd be hosed up like this."
