Marvel Heroes developer Gazillion Entertainment appears to have laid off its staff early, just on the eve of Thanksgiving in the United States.
Many (ex-)Gazillion staffers have taken to Twitter to divulge that the studio’s last day is today, 24 November, earlier than expected. Marvel confirmed last week that the studio would close and Marvel Heroes would be discontinued.
Officially unemployed on the day before thanksgiving.
Nice.

Today we were told no severance. Not even paying out PTO. Good job, Gaz. I feared this would happen so I appreciate all the support you've given to shasta :https://t.co/aWyk0ja8Jh

I know a lot of people are upset and wanting refunds for their purchases in @MarvelHeroes, but please keep in mind the developers were not paid out PTO, severance, and our medical insurance is ending in 8 days.

It was noted at the time of Marvel’s announcement that several recent content launches had been missed by Gazillion.
Marvel Heroes is an MMORPG available on PC, Xbox One and PS4. Our thoughts go out to those developers impacted by the closure.
