In what could be described as "one" way to ring in the new year, it's been revealed that Marvel has pulled a bevy of their games from digital storefronts. Deadpool, X-Men: The Official Game, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men Destiny, and pretty much all of the recent Spider-Man games that aren't based on the films (read: Shattered Dimensions, Web of Shadows, Edge of Time, and Friend or Foe) have all been pulled . Activision confirmed the removals through Game Informer.
The Deadpool Steam disappearance was first found out by NeoGAF user "Deluisbeta," according to GI. Afterwards, a tweet from Activision's community manager Dan Amrich confirmed that the group of games were pulled in due to contract dates. Understandable for the other games, but Deadpool just came out in June, which makes it confusing as to why it had the short shelf life (besides being fun, yet basic). This does however fall in line with Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 being pulled from digital stores back in December.
The Game Informer article also said that physical copies of the games might not be restocked once grabbed from store shelves. This might be a problem if you lost your copy of the fantastic X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Like me.
...crap. Get 'em while you can, folks.
