Gaz has a big part of blame,but Disney/Marvel isn't that innocent and still has an important part in that game's failure.
It's sad that they won't allow another developer to continue the game.The art of some characters and the powersets are some of the best i saw in a marvel game.It's sad to see it die.Such potentials wasted.

I know.It's sad.It was the last game that represented the full extend of Marvel Universe.Now,every new game will be about MCU poster boys.Also,Disney has a bad record of keeping a long term marvel mmo.Avengers Alliance in fb(all 3 games based on it) and MH were killed,despite their potentials.

In Alliance's case, both of it's sequels (Tactics and Alliance 2) bombed, so they closed the Playdom studio, a decision which therefore killed the original game.
Anyone plan to be on when they shut the servers down?
Playing on PS4 and here are some observations
1. Man is it painfully obvious to level up. This is coming from a PC player with max synergies with the roster, Cyclop's 10% bonus, server side XP, and of course a wider variety of boosts. It takes so long to get to level 60 on PS4 whereas it can take me about 20 minutes on PC. Thats been quite an adjustment
2. Speaking of slow, the story mode is taking a long time to get through. I still cant fathom why they changed it. This is my first itme playing through the revamped one and its boring. The changes they made to movement make it an even bigger slog.
3. The loot box is such a ripoff and seems worse than the cards. I bought the 5X bundles and rarely getting costumes from them
4. Speaking of ripoffs, I cant beleive they have character specific boosts on console version! Experience packs are usable to everyone on PC, but they are linked to certain characters, thus taking up space if you dont own them, which push you to buy more storage
5. I havent done the Apocalypse event yet, but sigh, this update never came to PC and was a glimpse of the direction the game was going in. The costumes with exclusive power was a nice touch and could have added additional fun to the existing characters
6. Im playing on PS4 to get the trophies but at times almost quit bc I found it to be boring. The requirements seem simple enough and its all stuff Ive done on PC anyway. I'll stick with it for now bc at least I can grind while watching online videos on my laptop
Likely not forseeable but it would be neat if someone were able to mod this to have an offline version or private servers. It was good for mindless fun and I could see myself playing every now and then especially since most content is now available without the pay wall
As I was there when Avengers Alliance 1 and 2 died and now Marvel Heroes?
I just can't trust they won't cut off the other Mobile Marvel games as well with no notice til it's happening. So I think that I'll stick to single player Marvel games, sorry remaining marvel games on stuff like mobile.
Fate/Grand Order, Fire Emblem: Heroes and Dokkan Battle can settle my mobile itch at work and seem very safe from cancellstion for years to come.

I was planning on it, but the more I read about the whole situation, the more I feel like I'm walking away now and calling it done - this after being an almost daily player since beta.
Whether the speculation and rumors are true or not isn't for me to say, but the telling sign that no one is coming out and trying to quell those rumors is damning enough to me. I can not, in good conscience, show any kind of support for that kind of alleged misconduct.
Game is shutting down early, on friday. Gaz is dead, all devs got laid off.
Next 3 heroes were going to be Thanos, Gamora and Wasp.
Supposedly, Microsoft is going to automatically issue refunds to X-Box players. I guess I’ll remember that when the next gen comes around.
