The TSR version had a good long run, and is still heavily supported by the fans.Well, both of these can be more or less true at once; that its hard to make a licensed product, even one with a big footprint work for you (though I'd always heard that the original WEG Star Wars did pretty well by itself at the time), and that the whole industry just doesn't have that much yield unless you're absolutely at the top of it.
Gods know, this will be, what, the fifth time someone has tried a Marvel RPG, with limited success all four prior times.
