Midnight Suns devs 'absolutely' knew cards would be a controversial choice, but they were also 'absolutely the right fit for this game and our design goals' (www.pcgamer.com)

This game was so weird to me, people wanted more xcom and they got something completely different and it didn't do well. I was mostly turned off the whole marvel thing.

Oh, that was the Marvel game from Firaxis?

I was so badly out of the loop, I remember back when basically nothing was known about it and it was talked about in xcom discussion threads, and I was vaguely aware of that Midnight Suns game that bombed, but I didn't know that was the one.

I imagine with how big XCOM got, just making a X-men-themed XCOM clone should have ensured at least as decent hit. I mean, Ubisoft made it big with a Mario-themed one of all things...
