Since Disney bought Marvel they've done their best to bury X-Men, the companies most popular team.
Disney owns Merchandising, Comics, Animated, Animated Television and Video Games. That's 5/6 areas they control. But they've pretty much done **** all with X-Men outside of the comics just because they can't control the movies. The movies that kickstarted the genre they now live on.
X-Men remains amongst their #1 selling comics and if it wasn't for that they'd have probably buried the comics too.
Not satisfied with ****ing over X-Men fans with lack of Merchandise, cartoons and AAA games, it looks like there doing the same to Fantastic Four

F4 has never really been big in Merchandising or video games but have done well in Comics and TV, the company could've built the property since they took over if they desired but like X-Men they own 5/6 areas and that's just not enough for the mouse.
With the new Fantastic Four movie coming next year what better way to celebrate the promotion of a brand they own 83% of than cancelling the comic for the first time in history and reducing them to cameos in their Avengers and Inhuman (a.k.a the franchises they own 6/6 of and thus are pushing as flagships) books.
