Another game-based setback for Marvel?

It looks like Marvel, in terms of their deals to develop computer games, is having more fallouts. TGdaily reports that one of the software developers they'd had a deal with cancelled development of an online multiplayer game:
Redmond (WA) - Cryptic Studios has shut the lid on production for a massively multiplayer online game that would have pit Marvel comic characters together in a big melee.
Funny thing about this is that they already were involved in a big melee, that being Civil War! And the biggest problem with that, of course, was that it turned the superheroes against each other out of politicized motivations by the editors. If the planned online game was similar in any way, I think that's why I might be discouraged from playing it, even if it doesn't force in any political bias and allegories, because Civil War takes almost all the fun out of it by now.

And if Marvel is going to destroy their heroes, especially Spider-Man and Mary Jane's marriage, I guess that's why maybe they're asking for this setback in game-related developments. Some people might not want to buy the game anyway if it helps Joe Quesada, which is possible.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
