Activison Pull Marvel Titles from Digital Sale
Activision have done what countless Marvel supervillains have failed to do by putting an end to Deadpool and a slew of other Marvel characters, or at least their games.
As noticed on Neogaf this morning, Activison have pulled last year’s Deadpool game, along with Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, X-Men: The Official Game, X-Men Destiny, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine from Steam, Xbox Live and the Playstation Network, none of which gained much critical acclaim.
It comes after Disney purchased Marvel in 2009, with Activision’s own contracts seemingly running out at the start of the year.
Despite only being the 3rd, this isn’t the first time in 2014 something like this has happened, with Bethesda gaining the rights to the original Fallout games, with GoG having to take them down (albeit after cheekily offering them for free).

Hi all, I'm Dan 'Nailz' Naylor, News Editor for the site (and I've just realised there's a pleasing alliteration to that). Almost all the news posts you see on the site are either by me or written because I say so, and we try to make them a little more interesting than a regurgitated press release so I hope you think we're succeeding.
Normally I'll be sinking my time into the latest RPG, but I'll play almost anything, with racing games a particular favourite. Owner of a Wii U, I have no regrets purchasing the console, though Smash Bros. hasn't left the disc tray since Christmas.
You can find me on Twitter and PSN as MacShanks, and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, queries or feedback!
