Thanos snapped away all that revenue apparently.
Square Enix - reported Yen6.5bn loss for HD Games driven by Marvel Avengers, would not say how many sold but that volumes were 60% of plan. Implies game cost over $100m to make but only sold 3m or so. Ouch

All in all, that adds up to about a 62 million dollar loss. Where did they go wrong with this game? Should they not have concentrated on Destiny-style elements in multi and focused on a grand single player experience instead? We know player numbers dropped to nothing almost immediately after release, so it seems like people weren't that interested in playing an Avengers game this way.
Combined with the game being buggy in beta and launch, having an MCU look but no MCU actors, and the Spider-Man rage, the game was already facing challenges in it's optics before launch. The ENDGAME came a lot sooner than later.
