Kotaku had a decent article about the business side of things:
https://kotaku.com/the-last-months-of-gazillion-entertainment-maker-of-ma-1821016486

And then there was the whole "they hired a sexual predator to run the company" issue which, strangely, Disney wasn't cool with:

https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelheroes/comments/72prfj/summary_of_the_news_from_the_aoaomega_stream/ (check the Doomsaw comments)

But things had been going downhill for awhile. They basically stopped updating the game to work on their console cashout plan.

Personally, I blame everything on the changes to dashes and teleports.

To be fair, the sexual predator CEO also was the one making terrible decisions like "stop updating your successful PC game to cash out on console release" in addition to things like rape.

I work in localization so the time they went live with a skill called anal sex and a big black dong item in their Portuguese translation was a special moment for me.

My most cherished memories of Marvel Heroes is my wife and I grinding Cosmic Midtown while listening to Loveline or Star Trek: Voyager in the background. Loveline made the grinding more enjoyable, and grinding made Voyager mildly tolerable.

Oh poo poo. Gaz was totally successful and we all kept enjoying the game and spending money until they eventually came out with Thanos raid where they made the mistake of giving him all six Infinity Gems, then he snapped his fingers and made Gaz stop existing six months prior. They were the game with the most number of superheroes in it so it was the easiest way for Thanos to remove any threat. If only they had made Adam Warlock playable maybe we could have stopped him.

If there was a pirate server I would totally play again.

By which I mean I would create a character and then never log in again and just monitor the thread.

You'd need it at least a dozen m3.2xlarge instances just to handle the buffs and procs
