Marvel's Avengers Fans Saw the End Coming, But That Doesn't Stop the Disappointment

ign.com:

Marvel's Avengers fans may have seen its end coming, but that doesn't stop the disappointment caused by not seeing its story finished or potential met.

Following developer Crystal Dynamics' announcement that it would be delisting Avengers and ending active development, its community took to social media to share their disappointment.

Many complained about cosmetics being made free after its dedicated community had already spent considerable amounts of money on them, others lamented that long-requested features would never come to be, and others just shared their sadness that a game they enjoyed is shutting down.

The biggest complaint, however, seems to be that Avengers will forever have an unfinished story, as despite having three major expansions, plot points set up in the base game will now remain unanswered.

This was the biggest issue for Reddit user Isa-MC, who said Avengers was "a game full of potential, ended without fulfilling its complete story," and adding that "the fact we are getting no Kree, no Ultron, no Carol, and no proper end really bums me out".

Another user, Rojo696, hoped for a mini-series from Marvel to finish the story, saying "it would give us all some closure".

YouTuber BobDuckNWeave, who has played and covered Avengers since the first day of its beta and clocked around 2,000 hours, agreed that this is the biggest travesty.

"We'll never see a resolution to the main story and we'll never really see the full potential realised," he told IGN. "I don't doubt the passion and talent of the developers themselves, I just wish they were given the sorely needed resources to at least close out the final parts that had been set up since day one."
