Gi - With the surge in popularity of League of Legends and Defense of the Ancients 2, the MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) genre has seen a huge influx in new titles; one such title is the upcoming Warner Brother’s Interactive Entertainment’s Infinite Crisis. Set in the world of DC comics, Infinite Crisis incorporates everybody’s favorite Superheroes and Super Villains from one of five different multiverses. Is Infinite Crisis going to be a title to compete with the other MOBA giants, or will it fizzle out?

One of the more interesting features of mmo games is that, just like a living person, they go through a life cycle. In the beginning, there's the development and testing phases. Then the game springs into the world to make its mark. After a number of years, the game begins to fade as the player population dwindles. Finally, there's the final end when the game shuts down. Normally such a journey takes quite a few years, normally a decade, to go through this cycle, but such was not the case with Infinite Crisis. The DC comics-themed moba recently let their players know that the game was shutting down in August despite the fact that the moba just officially launched roughly two months ago. Why did Infinite Crisis fail?
