Gazillion Closed, Game Servers Will Go Offline In 2 Days according to report

From GameWatcher: "An official statement from Gazillion suggested that Marvel Heroes would close on December 31, with microtransactions ceasing first to allow people to play for free until the servers go down.

Now reports are coming out that all of Gazillion has been let go, the day before Thanksgiving, and that the servers will be shut down in just two days on November 24 - supposedly without warning. These reports came to us from Resetera and it looks very likely it's true."

And a Merry Xmas to all those at Gazillion, and all those players who were playing and invested time and money with Marvel Heroes, from good old saintly Disney!!!

Don't forget to wish a Merry Xmas to all those people here who support and defend these kind of online based games like they are the needed future of gaming.

Weeblordbad2371d ago

I wouldn't say needed, merely a part of it. But hey, a poor man's Diablo that asked for money at every turn and was getting less frequent updates gets shut down the whole business model must be busted!

How's Path of Exile doing again?

FreddyFazbear2371d ago

Couldnt say it better myself. PUBG even was nominated for GOTY at games awards along with mario odyssey, zelda breath of the wild, persona 5 and Horizon. Yep merry Xmas to people who thinks these games are the future and long may these games reign supreme and hope that it will still be playable after 5 years on servers.

I feel it for all those workers and developers, to loose your job at this time of the year is horrendous. That game though was absolutely atrocious. It should never have been released.

Aren't online only games awesome?

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX9h ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H96h ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro4h ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos10h ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release
