Reports Square Enix takes huge financial hit due to Marvel’s Avengers game

[Prince Akeem]

The project was too big for Crystal Dynamics imo. There are not a top tier dev.

Lol wrong developers for the project see the recent tomb raiders for example

This. This type of project was way above their pay grade. The Tomb Raider reboot trilogy was forgettable.

It started out great but by the 2nd game the formula had been milked dry.

I'm so shocked a bullshyt game that relied purely on the strength of a movie franchise that tried to milk consumers at every angle didn't do well


I mean the millionaire top level management behind that game couldn't possibly of seen this coming



You mean paying for a game that is broken and only based on getting more money out of the player doesn't work



Genshin impact>>>>> Marvel's avengers

So if my math is correct, they already profited 80 million. Sure they expected more, They still gonna double their profits

Marketing not included and they don't get the entire pot of the retail cost.

At 60 bucks the publisher gets like 70%. Thankfully Squeenix is the developer and publisher. So 42 bucks at 3 million minus 100 mill to make sure that is 26 mill profit technically. But that also don't include corporate overhead costs,disc pressing/packaging, and marketing costs.

Oh well

Don’t forget they actually have to pay to license the IP also

I assumed it was part of the development costs.... But if not

And they spent a ton on marketing. Better hope that Spidey DLC saves them.

But yeah, trying to be Destiny/Fortnite was a dumb move

a nice 18 hour campaign was all they needed to do .
shame.

Cory balrog would have done better.

god of war looked like an audition to make a marvel game

had to be licensing and marketing costs

 

[Malik1time]

Game was ass off rip when they reveal gameplay

 

[GOAT]

Played the Beta. Chose not to purchase the game. It wasn't trash, just kinda meh.

 

[Brandeezy]

Should've been working on a new Tomb Raider reboot with a fun Lara and not Ellie Jr.

Chloe should be the blueprint

 

[Dallas' 4 Eva]

I'm surprised this game even sold 3m units bruh, shyt looked like trash in all the videos I seen for it.

 

[Red Shield]

Not surprised at all, hell no one should really be surprised...

played the beta and thought it was meh. My friends played it for two weeks and then dropped it.

Their lucky cyberpunk didn't come out in sep or they woulda really been fukked.

Lotta things they shouldn't have bothered doing with this game. I wonder if they will bother trying to course correct or just shuck deuces after the dlc that's done is pushed out

 

[Detroit Wave]

goof ass companies keep tryna dethrone the gawd Warframe

honestly this game looked like shyt from the jump

lowkey we need a new Hulk Ultimate Destruction game i know those devs went on to make Prototype which was also piff but a new Hulk game would do numbers

how u flop with avengers anyways?

 

[Red Shield]

And square has been struggling for years and probably staked huge resources in this. Any gains from the FF7 remake are more than likely erased. Better sale to Sony or M$

Square will be fine... but Crystal Dynamics might not be..

Low key glad this shyt blew up in their face.

Not for square Enix but for Disney/ Marvel's sake. Ever since MCU has turned into a cash cow, Marvel has neglected alot of their comics material in other forms of media and only focused on the film versions of heroes and as result every game they have dropped during this run has been

MvC:I
MUA3
Avengers

I'm glad they never tried a new X-men game, that would just be trash too

Spiderman is the only Marvel franchise/hero thats been consistently dope. And ironicly we can thank Sony for that

100 if you look at the Concept Art in MvCi it’s obvious they were going for Saturday morning cartoon vibe. Marvel became waaay too controlling with their IPs this gen. Hopefully they let these devs especially Japan become have more artistic freedom.

You both said it... ever since MCU blew up they keep pushing all the movie characters
