Nothing lasts forever, especially Activision contracts for Marvel games, as evidenced by 2010's disappearance of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and its corresponding downloadable content.


It's the same deal here. After an end-of-year fire sale (via Dan Amrich's Twitter), Activision has removed the following games from Steam, Xbox Live, PSN and anywhere else you might obtain a copy digitally.

Deadpool

Spider-Man: Edge of Time

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

X-Men Destiny

X-Men: The Official Game

A big loss? Probably not. I wouldn't have even noticed if not for a NeoGAF post on the subject. There are no more physical copies of the games being printed, but they're all still available used and new on the cheap.


Update: To clarify, the games are only down for folks who have not purchased them. Those who already had purchased them will still be able to download fresh installs.
