Anonymous asked: Tom, do you have any insider knowledge on why Marvel doesn't publish more (or any good) games? DC seems to have a lot of success with their "Arkham Batman" games, yet when it comes to Marvel, it's mainly one childish game after another like Disney's Infinity, which features Marvel characters and then "games" like Superhero Squad Online and so on. Then there is a mobile fighting game... I really wish Marvel would do more. Give us a GOOD Spider-Man game. Or a Marvel fighting game!
Marvel doesn’t do games at all, we license the rights to make games featuring our characters to actual game development companies, and oversee their use of our characters. (The same, ultimately, is true of DC.)
The real answer here is that disney makes a crapload of money off of crappy mobile, online, and kids games for their other properties, so why would they run the risk of spending tons of money on a triple A title, or risk tarnishing the brand in a triple A title, when all endeavors by disney outside of kingdom hearts in recent memory to release major games have been supreme flops
