Coming off of a month-long celebration of its second anniversary, Marvel Heroes and its players are about to enjoy a different kind of event. During the anniversary revelry, players were given a free hero, a free pet, and a free team-up in addition to big sales and the mega Big Ten event. Starting on July 8, players will have a chance to win real money just by logging in and playing Marvel Heroes.
Gazillion Entertainment revealed to Inquisitr today that starting on July 8, players that log in to Marvel Heroes and play are eligible to win money during the Marvel Heroes 2015 $25,000 Giveaway. For the next several weeks, players will have a chance to find five of the “incredibly rare” Vibranium Ticket drops. Each one of these tickets is worth $5,000, and they are expected to drop randomly during the event.
A non-profit educational group is looking to buy the Marvel Heroes license to either maintain the MMOARPG as-is or use it to build an entirely new game.
Why campaign is set to "Flexible goal"? Like "We desperately need $450 000, but hey, we'll settle for any amount of money you'll give to us. And we won't have to do a damn thing.".
They say in Indiegogo campaign: "To achieve our plan, we are currently seeking a minimum of $450k – $900k". MINIMUM of $450k, so why "flexible"?
Next, they say that currently, "creditors claims totaling at $900K" and "The closer our offer is to those claims, the greater our chances of success". A chance costs $450 000.
They're also saying that "One downside is that Gazillion has spent millions to license the use of characters and story lines over the years", where will they get millions for a license? Another campaign? Aggressive microtransactions? Oh, right, "Unless millions are raised to fund this campaign, the odds of this option being successful are very limited."
Even their Paragon university website has "Coming Soon" on it and "Elder mage" have only one "news" and copy-pasted content from Indiegogo campaign. Sounds like a scam to me.
Chris and Colby are back with Episode 2 of the Gaming Historia podcast. In this episode, we use the imminent closure of Paragon as a jumping off point to discuss Digital Gaming and how it affects gaming as a whole. In addition, we get a little off topic about questionable things that are done with amiibos.
There's not a lot of closure when free-to-play games go away.
I almost spent 50 bucks on this game. It's sad for the people that spent all that money.
