When does the license with Marvel/Disney expire for MPQ?

It changes nothing for me. Never spend more on a time wasting mobile game than would upset you if the game shut down next week. People seem to be getting the knickers in a twist over a time frame you will never know the answer to. It's no more relevant to me than this time last year.

It's gonna end and no one will give you an official heads up. If you can't deal with that you shouldn't be spending money on a mobile match three game.

People aren't just worried about the money they spent, but whether they should spend money moving forward. If there was a really good deal in-game that I would buy, but there were signs that the game would be on its last legs, I would reconsider. I think many others would as well.

Again it’s no different to any other week in any other game. And again I will continue to spend an amount that won’t make me regret it if the game shuts next week. 

 After 5 years I’m not sure what people expect.

But it's not. That's literally the point of this thread. If you're whole point is "haha I don't care 'cuz I don't spend any money" then fine, there's really nothing to say. However, the message of this thread is that because of possible decisions made by Disney in recent months to consolidate their IPs, the end of MPQ may be sooner than anticipated, and that may not even depend on anything the devs have control over (whether you actually agree with this is a different matter).

It's also not about spending a regrettable amount of money, it's about making informed decisions with the purchases you decide to make. If i set aside $30 a week for discretionary purchases, and I use the $30 to make a purchase in MPQ a week before it shuts down, I'd still regret not being able to enjoy what I purchased because I could have spent it on another form of entertainment.

this is going to go around and around...

You cannot make an informed decision, because you will not be informed.  Full stop.  There is no more discussion needed, no argument you can make.  They lose everything by spreading that information, and gain nothing.  Why in the world would they do that?  Would you, if you were them?  If you say yes, you are either naive, too friendly, lying or some combination of all three.

And re-read what tony said.  "I will continue to spend an amount that won’t make me regret it if the game shuts next week."  If you set aside $30, and would regret it if MPQ shut down, then don't spend it.  Plain and simple.

1. Other games have given people a month or two heads up if the game plans to be shut down. Not saying MPQ will do that when the time comes, but they could. Obviously they're not going to cause a mass panic 6 months out, but it's not unheard of to tell the community ahead of time if that's the situation

2.I have read what he said. Reread what I said: "I'd still regret not being able to enjoy what I purchased because I could have spent it on another form of entertainment." Anyone would regret making a purchase just to lose it before they could use it. It has nothing to do with amount of money spent, unless you're the kind of rich where you don't care about lost or wasted money.

You have zero context to make that guess.  Those "other" games, were they D3 or Demiurge?   You may be right, but it's a) highly unlikely and b) not goimg to come from some random post on the forum.  You know how many people have speculated the demise of this game in 5 years?  This isnt the first thread asking this, and it won't be the last.

Argue all you want, but your 3rd word in the first quote and 13th word in the second is still "regret." 

If you would regret spending it, dont spend it.  It is super simple.  Stop making it harder than it needs to be.

Interesting. Marvel Insider pulled all the MPQ activities from their Games category (they also pulled Battle Lines content). The only MPQ related link that remains is the HP reward for 300,000 Insider Points. Contest of Champions is still up.

I've seen that happen on Insider before. Sometimes they'll have 3* Cap or Iron Man available as rewards, and sometimes 3* Spidey. Very occasionally a 4* (Taskmaster was up for a bit, and I think some combination of Ant-Man/Wasp/Ghost was up during that movie's release). And sometimes activities for placing so high in an event, or just downloading the game.

But all those come and go. So sometimes it's just the 300,000 point 8500HP reward (which seems to be the only one that doesn't go away... probably because it's a "once a lifetime" award, and if it goes away and comes back, someone who has another 300k points could earn it again)

So I wouldn't say Insider removing MPQ stuff is out of the ordinary. Because they've done it for years. They'll come back at some point. And then go away again. It's just one of those things.

I also see the “download this new game” activity is gone for MPQ, but, it’s gone for all games, including Contest of Champions. I can’t believe anyone ever bought the 3* cover for 100k.

About every 6 months we get one of these IS MPQ DOOMED??? threads and this feels right on schedule.
See you at the 6th anniversary.

Judging from the new app icon, MPQ is about to be Doomed.

So if we're Doomed now, what are we going to be by 6th Anniversary?

Kanged? Mephistoed? Dormammu'd? 

Annihilused.

Though I would personally prefer to be Mole Manned.
