Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy launch sold less than expected

It was one of the great surprises that 2021 gave us last year Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxytitle developed by Eidos Montreal (The Parents of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided), which many people expected something very similar to what was seen in Marvel’s Avengers, but which ended up being an adventure in the purest Batman: Arkham or Marvel’s Spiderman style, focused entirely on the experience of player.

We cannot forget that in this industry, like other industries, the most important thing for companies is always the money that they earn from their products, and no matter how good the game is, if it does not meet sales expectations, it is much easier to set aside some future projects (there are cases such as NieR: Automata, which puts a lot of faith and a lot of talent, can change the situation). Let’s never forget to support the titles, AAA and independent clubs, that we think are worth it.
