Disney's Diablo-Style Game, Marvel Heroes, Shuts Down Soon

...Man I'd have be all over this game if it was singleplayer/local multiplayer like Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and not a crazy expensive cashgrab MMO. Hell, I'd probably have bought the game when I first saw it if that were the case.

Industry analysts:Single player games are dying, the future is MP!

*Many online games shut with 4 years and most SP games with MP elements get replaced yearly*

Gamers:What were you guys saying again?

Industry analysts:*Whistle*

maybe if they introduce lootboxes the game could be saved.

Too bad people won't get refunds for their credit balance in game.

"Disney's Diablo-Style Game"
...can't say I expected those words to be seen together. Kinda badass.

Yeah, this is a bummer. I had tried this game a few years ago but was turned off by the microtransactions in it.

I put a little $$ into this game (War Machine anyone) awesome char. I put several hours into the game and this is what I get (Cancelled like a (place expletive here) stamp. I might sound like a little B**** but all this "Hey try our game sink some money into it! Ssshhhh then we'll shut it down"! This s*** is criminal! and they ought to be held accountable! Gaming in general is becoming corrupt. Yeah I'm on a rant so what! I'm glad I kept my PS2=buy game=play game=enjoy game=play again if you wish, and the earlier x360/PS3 days. Of course the OG Xbox and Halo CE 2001. Where's my time machine lol. My point is, they need to buck up and offer a partial refund AT LEAST!! certainly make my pocket feel a little better. Call me a Grumpy Old Gamer I could give 2 s***'s. Take the whole Gaming plethora back to basics, back to the cornerstone and rebuild! "Make Gaming Great Again"!

P.S. I don't usually comment but this is straight Bull s***. I've had my cup of rage this morning back to RL.

Y'all Have it =)

So Brevik knew what was up when he left

And this is why I don't bother with mmo games.

Game had Decent population and income, Wow No reasons no fucks were given by developers well done!!!

that was quick..

I never played it, but it's sad to see this game dissolve into the ether. It's sad to see any game shut down that can no longer be played by people in the future. This is why I'm not really a fan of "games as a service." What kind of shit is that really? Books, movies, music... all of it can be enjoyed, provided at least one original copy is maintained, but "games" like Marvel Heroes, they shut down and disappear. What's worse is that there are probably people who are just now starting, spending money and not even realizing that they won't be able to play it for much longer.

They make it sound like they aren't gonna give users any time to pack up even. Is it ALREADY shut down? That's unprecedented bull.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang you, DISNEEEEEEY!!! Argh!

Disney like shuttling things down anyways for best

Thank God I only spent 10$ on this game and got everything else for free.

This sucks, though. They really made that a fun game that I enjoyed going back to sometimes. Damn.

Didn't this just come out on consoles too? Weird.

Let's port it to consoles, they said. It'll be a good idea, they said. It literally killed the game. Way to go, morons!

I thought it was still in beta or early access. never got to know it was indeed released.

Considering how terrible the "biggest update ever" was, how much backlash their was, how many people quit (including myself), I'm not actually that surprised.

They killed the game, like SWG was killed in its revamp.

Still to this day developers just don't learn.

I'm sad. It was a damn good game prior to the update, but afterward.. just depressing.

RIP. Maybe another company who actually cares will take it over.

We've (the community) been waiting for this for over a month now. I, for one, am glad it's finally official. Really sucks to see it go, though - after spring 2015, it got SO good... but then the original devs, including David Brevik, started leaving and it was all downhill from there. Lost vision, half-assed updates, gutting the uniqueness of the characters and systems that worked for across the line homogenization... wow.

*pours out a lil' liquor for the game that was*

I played this game on and off and thought is was pretty cool, its a shame that they are shutting it down.

More F2P success

Wasn't really half bad as a Legends/Alliance successor. The main problem came from the controls feeling too tight, a gross excess of stats, and all the fun being sucked out of the game once you stopped gaining new powers roughly around the halfway point of the campaign. After that it was all about replaying the same dry missions again to farm gear. And, yes, the F2P crap.

They rejig the assets into a singleplayer/co-op game though and rebalance it to be more fluid like the original games, this could still be fun. It already plays like the original games just fine, so it's hardly dependent on the online stuff. Surprised you don't see more failing F2P games do that.

Son of a...

This is why you'd be a fool to spend money on these free to play games. Inevitably, the entire game gets yanked and everything you bought is down the drain.

Well that sucks, this was the next best F2P action RPG after Path of Exile

This really sucks because it is a very good game. It seemed like the perfect spiritual successor to Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

Disney / MCU strikes again... they are the worst.

I can't help but laugh and feel bad for all those who bought stuff from the in game shops. Be cautious next time kiddies!
