"Marvel Heroes is a brand new MMO from Gazillion Entertainment. It features a story written by Brian Michael Bendis, aka the new king of creating epic stories for Marvel comic books. It follows The Avengers team of Spider-Man, Captain America, Luke Cage, Wolverine, and Black Widow as they bounce around the world searching for a powerful tablet. This may sound like it should be easy for such well-equipped superheroes, but it turns out to be a daunting task to keep the tablet in sight."
In a new interview with VideoGamer, Diablo creator David Brevik looks back on Disney's closure of Marvel Heroes developer Gazillion.

I just submitted a story about a dev calling out journos for writing hit pieces on other competing games. It certainly puts all the negative press about certain games into perspective.
Journos are the problem in the industry right now. People might make inflammatory comments but that's always been the case in the internet type of discourse. Journos fan the flames and most of the times they start the fire.
For the record, I know it's pinned because it's videogamer. But why are we pinning their sub par content
BGFG owns both N4G and video gamer. The owners want to promote content. At least it's an interview and not something else. It was supposed to unpin after 2 hours, but something went wrong. I manually unpinned it.

My man, you’re too emotionally invested to a website. Take a step back and just enjoy the content you like, avoid the content you don’t. If you don’t fit within a community, just try another until your views align.
Grief, depression, trauma, and pain are all prevailing themes in these narratives, and while they don’t aim to shock, they inevitably do. Indies aren’t the only titles that attempt this, either, though they often do it best. Multimillion-dollar productions from megacorporations should have the budget to explore here, but it’s often a one-person team or a small group weaving the tales that are most impactful.
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.
These were all my feelings as well. The whole thing reeks of ripoff and I'm generally a pretty forgiving guy when it comes to crowdfunding campaigns.
