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)

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...
