Disney’s image-preservation machine was in high gear this week over two of its most high-profile IPs and the clownshoes video game companies picked to print money with them. First, the Mouse House shredded its Marvel-based partnership with Gazillion, leading to the sunset of the once-popular MMOARPG Marvel Heroes (planned for early next year). And then there’s the whole Star Wars Battlefront 2 fiasco, where EA has temporarily been stymied in its attempt to suck every last dollar from our wallets, at least until The Last Jedi has broken records.
Read on for the very best of this week’s MMO news and opinions.

I’m boycotting any Star Wars game by EA.
And now because of Marvel Heroes any Marvel/Disney game also.
No trust in either of those.
Disney needs to take a hard look at swtor.
The big surprise for me this last week was Titan Quest: Ragnarok. I picked it up and started up an new character, but chose to start at the beginning (there is an option to start in Act 5). Hopefully it does well enough that they look into making a proper sequel, and they can get with Crate (Grim Dawn) for some engine updates.
Its called Grim Dawn and it also just came out with an expansion :P
Lol! :)
I find it so funny that we are still using the term “rioting with pitchforks and torches”. You would think there should be a modern time equivalent.
“Rioting with iPhones and hashtags.” ?
I find it even funnier, that Adult editors use “Clownshoes” as a descriptor……It sounds like something you would hear at a campus rally.
Adults usually know how to spell “adult” without capitalizing the “a” within a sentence though. Unless you’re thinking “Adult” is a name of city of something. o.O
