Where the big MMORPGs in China have opted to copy Gacha games. Launch incomplete and develop over time. Most of the recoverable MMOs, have folded and copied Tower of Fantasy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ9iUVSjyMo and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA_sX7IZ6usIt probably be easier/cheaper to do in-engine PVs than to sell comics. As the in-engine cinematics would build up game assets.
Superheroes have been diverse for a long time. So, it is going to be impossible to remove. 40+ years, too late to change it. So, that isn't going away.
The global-side gaming arms of Tencent, Mihoyo(watching the MMO-tree:Honkai ABC(Ananta/NTE/Pokemon/Wangyue), Society(InZoi/Sims), Hero Shooter(Valorant/Overwatch/Marvel Rivals)), Netease, Perfect World are likely to focus on Superhero-themes; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmU2F1lnwOQ As they try to completely grab the market(Superhero MMOs/Games). As they must be tired of constantly launching Wuxia/Xianxia over to west. Only for the games to flop.
Where Champions intellectual property can easily copy/clone/iterate. As it is open-ended do to Champions<->Dark Champions mixing. As Champions Online doesn't have a significant following. There is literally zero reason to preserve its setting into Champions Online 2. Allowing the game to copy more popular and more modern MMORPG setting/game development tricks.
Printing comic books and looking at the sales figures is your best market research because its done by your accountants. Not by activist market researchers.
USA Video game sales (2024) = $58.7B USD
Where it will be more effective to license away, the Champions IP, to the Premium PC/console operations group of Coffee Stain & Friends.
Printing comics is your best market research. You think the executives that spent hundreds of millions on Concord weren't being told by market researchers that it was what people wanted? Market research is sick with activists and that has allowed an opening for an IP like Champions.
To my first post. The monetisation of Marvels Rivals is based on making your heroes look slightly different. People pay for customisation and no one does that as comprehensively as Champions. Maybe you could even licence that base game for Champions. Who knows. I rather think that DC Universe is not a better game than Champions. The IP still makes it more popular.
Really, you have an IP. You need to build that IP from the ground up. Make great print stories. Sell those proven print stories to Amazon to make movies for Prime. etcetc.
Note: this is rhetorical, I really do just want you to stop.
The only successful plausible start comic run would be Teen Champions. Not Dark Champions or Champions...Comics still use professional market research.Customization is nothing without loyalty to lore and setting.Coffee Stain & Friends is specifically Indie/AA video games. So, if they aren't going to make Superhero games, others will.
Mightreya - Japan
Captain Carnage - Austria
Kijutsu Rider - Black Voices in Gaming
Burning Sword: Death Sun - Thailand(including this just because of Tournament of the Dragon/Death Dragon(Lv 15 Westside boss, which is WAY, WAY, more powerful in lore, than in-game.))
Nova Hearts - France
Changer Seven - Brazil
Capes - Australia
New Indie Superhero games -> Champions Online <- China/Korea AAA~AAAAA Superhero MMOARPGs, crushed from below and above. What a way to go.
Executives can do their own market research by printing the comics and looking at the sales figures. USAID and its ilk are not around to pay the bills anymore. Things have to make money now.
-> Castro Street. The very words are infamous in some circles, for this area south of the Market Street/Seventeenth Street intersection is the center of Bay City’s prominent gay culture. The intersection of Castro and Eighteenth was called “the Gayest Four Corners in the World.” - 1997
-> Not the most appealing but Chris Avellone's Fell's Point: while others cater to the Fell’s Point S&M, gay and transvestite populations. // This is meant to be more gritty than Hudson. -- 1997 << When I sent over my questions to Chris Avellone, one of the designers for Fallout 2, the question of whether anyone at Black Isle Studios also resisted against the inclusion of LGBT features in Fallout 2 was at the front of my mind.
“Not one.” Chris told me, stating that “it’s one of the benefits of being in control of your own franchise. Other external franchises would have potentially blocked that or asked we not include it at the time.” >>
-> The most prominent gay and lesbian activist group in Hudson City is HONUR: HOmosexuals Needing Understanding and Respect. - First printing December 2004
-> She also leads the Millennium City Gay and Lesbian Caucus, which lobbies on a number of issues, including partnership health benefits for gay government workers. Elected in 2000, she’s serving her first term. - First printing March 2003
-> Justiciar(David Burrell)’s homosexuality -- 2007
-> Not long ago it was pretty unthinkable for a teen to “come out of the closet” in high school — everyone had their suspicions, and teens would sometimes act on these suspicions, but no one really knew for sure. Society at large, and parents in particular, have become more accepting of the openly gay, and it only makes sense that schools would as well. However, none of this means classmates (or the community) have become more accepting of a fellow student’s homosexuality. - First printing August 2005
-> Phantom is governed by his fear that he will be discovered, exposed as either a psi or a homosexual (his psychological template was Avenger Hartigan(Silver Avenger Hartigan, Atlanta), who is also gay and fearful of that being discovered). He guards himself care-fully, and puts his trust in no one. He’s well aware of how the more conservative members of the team—Mist and Titan, particularly—would greet news of his sexuality, and so he continues to act as a playboy for them. - 1998 // wonder what that template is? [Psychological Limitations
- Hides Sexual Orientation, uncommon, total (15)]
I can 100% tell you: James Harmon IV, Drogen Lar, Brendan Grant, Corazon “Corrie” Valenzuela, Bethany Duquesne would do LGBT+ parades.
Learn your place, the IP is woke/SJW/DEI/BRIDGE/ESG before it was cool. Too bad Cryptic Studios ripped out the woke/social justice elements when translating it into a MMORPG.
"But, such matters as racism and quality do concern us, Tim -- not just as comic-mag artists and writers and publishers, but as human beings.
Certainly it's never been out intention to portray all, or even most, white Americans as hard-core bigots or screaming racists. Maybe it's just that we think that many people in this land of the free have too long turned their backs or averted their eyes to the more unpleasant things that are going on every day. Maybe we felt we could do something -- even with the relatively humble format of what used to be called a "comic-book" -- to change things just a bit for the better.
If we fail, let's just say that we'd at least like to have it said of us that -- we tried." - Marvel, Silver Surfer #7, 1968
"From time to time we receive letters from readers who wonder why there's so much moralizing in our mags. They take great pains to point out that comics are supposed to be escapist reading and nothing more. But somehow, I can't see it that way. It seems to me that a story without a message, however subliminal, is like a man without a soul. In fact, even the most escapist literature of all – old time fairy tales and heroic legends – contained moral and philosophical points of view. At every college campus where I may speak, there's as much discussion of war and peace, civil rights, and the so-called youth rebellion as there is of our Marvel mags per se. None of us lives in a vacuum - none of us is untouched by the everyday events around us - events which shape our stories just as they shape our lives. Sure our tales can be called escapist - but just because something's for fun, doesn't mean we have to blanket our brains as we read it!"- 1970

If the Champions IP holder wants to make money. Then doing what IP holders far larger and better established than them have tried and failed at isn't likely to work. DEI doesn't sell enough. Worse, its was artificially supported by the deepest of pockets and still didn't succeed. So, it likely can't.
DC and Marvel don't do positive stories about traditional American values. Its a niche that is wide open. Champions could be a multi-billion dollar franchise.
12 July 2022 THE RIPPAVERSE IS COMING!
Here's a project you might consider backing. YouTuber Eric July has gone beyond complaining about all the "woke" garbage coming out of Marvel and DC, and is in the process of creating the "Rippaverse," a new comic book universe that will be focused on characters, stories, and adventure. -- THE HEROIC BLOG ARCHIVE, Heroic PublishingI don't think DECA Games ... that is headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Cares who is President. As well as Coffee Stain & Friends in Sweden actually cares either.
$455 Billion, Global Video Games (2024)
$58.7 billion, USA Video Games (2024)
They can lose the United States and still make cash.
<<Embracer Group AB (”Embracer”), through its wholly owned subsidiary DECA Games, has acquired Gaea’s mobile studio Jufeng and its six titles. Through the acquisition DECA Games gains access to a talent base in China, providing a foundation for further growth in the Asia Pacific Region.
The Jufeng Studio, is a mobile studio founded 2015, based in Beijing, China and was previously owned by Gaea. Jufeng currently comprise of a team of 50 people. The acquisition of the Jufeng Studio gives access to an attractive talent base in China and creates a foundation for further growth in the Asia Pacific Region.
The Jufeng Studio will operate as an independent studio within DECA Games and will keep its existing management. Gaea’s co-founder and President, An An, will join as the Managing Director of DECA Games’ new China office, and lead M&A efforts within the Asia Pacific Region for DECA Games. The studio is located in Beijing’s central business district. The studio will initially focus on the live operations of the six existing IPs. Over time, additional IPs will be added to Jufeng’s portfolio, both through acquisitions and development in-house.>>
I don't think you understand where the Intellectual Property has arrived at.
Remember, UNTIL was brought in because PRIMUS failed to stop Doctor Destroyer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pki3h9b3vl8 "Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Also, just fyi. DEI is the main staple for Tencent, Mihoyo, Netease, Perfect World. Tencent's UE5 pledge is to include DEI in EVERY UE5 game they make. Ace Force(Overwatch/Valorant clone) and Need for Speed Mobile, both UE4, are just the prototypes.
Netease has constantly told people the Marvel Rivals project is DEI. They were not expecting China players to purchase DEI.
Mihoyo has already made ZZZ their focus point for DEI. Perfect World is co-exploring it with Archosaur Games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xEp6Mm_E78 It's anti-american? Good, now eat this Chinese DEI gacha/live-service slop. Now note, isn't the first highlight a little on the nose? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_7HfuPSeiE But, yes continue to be with FOH&HC(Friends of Humanity/Human Council)/Trask Industries and IHA(Institute For Human Advancement)/Advanced Research Group ENTerprises. -- Secretly the IHA is dedicated to destroying such mutants through whatever means necessary, including armed conflict. With considerable help from ARGENT, the IHA has developed Minuteman combat robots able to take on the most powerful superhumans and destroy them. They continue to refine the Minuteman design.
- Jewish people faced segregation and discrimination, including restrictions in education, housing, professional opportunities, and social clubs, often due to antisemitism and the perception of them as a separate "race"
- During the civil rights movement (1954–1968), American Jews and African Americans formed strategic alliances to challenge racial inequality and injustice across the country. This built on earlier solidarity between the two communities, which had resulted in, among other things, Jewish activists taking many of the leadership positions within the early NAACP.
Marvel/DC/Champions are woke and if taken to anti-woke, it will always return to woke.
There is a market that is not being exploited. Disney can't exploit it because its staffed by ideologues who get paid no matter how well the company is doing. Champions can start essentially from scratch.
I am sure you wouldn't have cared that Disney corrupted their traditional stories to make the recent "Snow White". Executives that are responsibile for Champions shouldn't either. It doesn't matter what Champions was. It matters what it can be.
Extremely profitable.
If you abandon DEI.

Sword of Justice, a Wuxia MMORPG; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGxolL00ULs While this would hit the Tera effect (Revulsion of a clown cop car in a fantasy world) in the West. This would be fine in a Superhero MMORPG. Where it if any of the big four does a Superhero MMORPG w/ International Unity(furries and aliens as placeholders for LGBT+ characters, silent activism). Basically, would see this with different ethnic groups; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhyUS2iwVWM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJdCDLFf-S0 Being against DEI means the IP loses.
Disney massively oversaturates the market with DEI products. There is a potential niche for Champions to produce traditional heroic stories, but I feel I am just repeating myself at this point. You want a brand that has never been successful to compete against ones that used to be in the very market those once universally beloved brands now heavily target.
Its a formula to waste money.
