Several Activision Marvel games are no longer available digitally

Spider-Man, Deadpool, and the X-Men can all defeat world-threatening villains. But even superheroes can’t overcome lawyers.

Several of Activision’s games based on Marvel properties are no longer available on Steam, Xbox Live, or PlayStation Network (as first spotted by members of gaming message-board NeoGAF). The publisher had to remove the games from those digital-distribution services due to its contract with Marvel ending as 2014 began, according to Activision community manager Dan Amrich.
