    Activision Pulling Digital Versions Of Marvel Video Games

    DateThu, January 2, 2014

    On January 1st 2014 at midnight EST, Deadpool mysteriously disappeared from Steam despite being on sale multiple times during the Steam Holiday Sale. NeoGAF later discovered that the game had been pulled from Xbox Live and Playstation Network as well.

    Game Informer went searching for answers from Activison, and whilst they didn't explain why the game had disappeared, Activision confirmed that Deadpool, Spider-Man: Edge Of Time, Friend or Foe, Shattered Dimensions, Web Of Shadows, X-Men: The Official Game, X-Men Destiny and X-Men Origins: Wolverine have all been permanently removed from digital channels such as Steam, Xbox Live and Playstation Network.

    The only plausible explanation for these video game removals is because of a license expiration as all of Activision's 007 James Bond games were removed from digital channels shortly after the negative-reviewed 007 Legends was released.
