After a tragic evaluation,Square Enix Finally admitted “Marvel Avengers“Not as successful as expected, and “disappointing.”
According to Square Enix’s annual report, President Yosuke Matsuda said that “Marvel Avengers” (Marvel’s Avengers) Is a very ambitious game of service (GaaS), but the game did not succeed as expected.
Matsuda Yosuke pointed out that they will learn from the “Marvel Avengers” and make games with unique attributes and tastes suitable for the studio and development team. This seems to imply that Crystal Dynamics is not good at developing service-oriented games. Crystal Power’s past works were mostly single-player games, the most famous being the “Tomb Raiders” series started by “Legend of the Undead”.
However, this does not mean that Square Enix will give up service games. Matsuda Yosuke said that although the final results of this game are disappointing, they still believe that as the game becomes service-oriented, how to develop service games is becoming more and more important.
Ironically, under the protest of players, “Marvel’s Avengers” announced that it would remove the paid items that accelerate the experience value, and explained that because they did not think it was a kind of “Pay to Win”, after all, those items It does not directly increase strength. As for the dissatisfaction of some players, the development team had guaranteed that the paid products would only have an appearance before the game was launched, and there would not be any “Pay to Win” mechanism.
We have decided that by the end of today we will remove Hero’s Catalysts and Fragment Extractors for purchase. pic.twitter.com/8am9nSstP2
