Recently I went to Auntm.ai to check White tiger's prestige but she is not there. I think Auntm.ai stopped updating this 2024?

For me it does make sense that kabam should run the site officially.
>It takes a lot of effort
> Some changes that happened in the game code now make it more difficult for them to get the data
Let my quote the internet machine:
„Kabam peak revenue was $53.0M in 2023. Kabam has 170 employees, and the revenue per employee ratio is $311,765.“
TLDR: it’s just a matter of prioritizing, they would be able to run it
I think @AverageDesi was talking about why the Auntm.ai website not updated.
From what I hear from Vega and KT1, what AverageDesi said would be correct.
The website is an amazing help tool for all players and the community, which in turn help MCOC grow, so I do think Kabam could provided the creator of Auntm.ai a little of financial support would be awesome, treat it like a subcontractors or donation (not sure the legal side of that).
@AverageDesi kindly accept my apologies if you feel attacked. Cheers mate 🍻
Because some normal ads is better than whole auntmai getting scrapped
Maybe at the outset that made sense. But for a decade-old game with a Marvel license, players shouldn’t have to hunt around for basic information.
I know it’s one of my main gripes (and there are several), but the issue continues today…do I need to watch the stream, check the Discord, read the forums, check with X, try to find a content creator YouTube video or (unlikely) peruse the in game messaging?
The “where’s Waldo?” approach to game info can become very tiresome for the community.

i enjoy looking at sig level changes and comparing upgrade stats to see if an upgrade is worth it or see if stones are worth it.
each update the site falls further and further behind and that's unfortunate .. i definitely understand the time factor ... kudos though for doing all that he's done so far.
This may certainly be the will of some people at Kabam, but we don't know how far Kabam's autonomy goes and who makes the final decisions. The fact is that there is inevitably an external website with this type of information. Every month two new champions are released and it is inevitable that the game will become more complex.
I'll give a practical example: Champions have synergies. In the game, we can only see the synergies that champions have, not the synergies that other champions have with them. On auntm.ai we could see both.
Question: Is it easier to put this information on a website or introduce it into a mobile game with thousands of interactions, lines of code and risking several problems that can cause huge headaches?
The answer is obvious and perhaps most Kabam people agree. But maybe someone responsible for making the decisions doesn't agree or even agrees, but there is a policy, whether from Marvel itself or from another company, regarding this.
Or suddenly, this could be being developed and we don't even know it.
One thing is for sure, we can all agree that Aunt Mai is amazing and does enhance the game for all of us. Being able to get information easily is a huge help. That does not really exist in game or on this website. In a perfect world, Kabam would just buy him out, keep the same website and update it themselves. It would be worth it for everyone. Hell, they could even charge a very small fee of like $5 a year just to cover the cost of running it. I am fairly certain that many of us if not all, would pay that to have the ease of access to the information we seek.
As far as I am aware this is not a financial issue, and there are complex reasons why it is non-trivial for Kabam itself to reach out to him (I've personally been in that precise situation myself). But beyond that, I leave it to DS to tell his own story.
And that might initially be part of the fun for the most creative players, but like someone here said: it wears out. Lots of us at many points over the years have felt like we were working for this game.
All the fan created sites and apps that have been and gone should have been implemented, been a feature of the game or a side part of it. Or the best option: pay these people to motivate them to keep going! The forum is definetely not it.
I still mourn the loss of CHQ app for recruiting 😭
And alliancewar.com/aw/ for aw organization 😭😭
Tho awdt.insaneskull.com/ has been doing upgrades and doing great work to help us figure out diversity lately (ppl should check him out).
And we still got guiamtc.com and theoldsarge.net thank heavens!
We lost Trucos for the infographics - tho we still got the brilliant and lovely Cat Murdock to help us out.
Auntmai has been our go to for many years and it's a tough loss if we don't have it.
So when I see that someone has time to be playing around with the champions information side bar that had no need to be changed whatsoever and nobody ever has asked to be changed and what's worst: doesn't look good as it used to be...
Yeh I think there are so many more things they could be doing instead. Like fixing bugs for starters.
It was fun and a way to help the community.
For me it was great to prove and to disprove (usually this!) what I felt was I intuitively happening in game.
