It's still frustrating to see so much de-listed in recent years.
You're still able to access, play and download your games, just not buy any more new copies.
It was especially cruel in Marvel Heroes's case, as the studio and game were shut down a full month before they were announced to.įor those who picked up the games in time, the delisting shouldn't effect anything. Back in November 2017, Deadpool got axed from the store for a second time (he regenerated from the first), and Gazillion's surprisingly good free-to-play Marvel Heroes was obliterated mere weeks later. It's been a rough year for Marvel games not directly under Disney's umbrella. Today, the predictions proved true, as without any warning (other than the quiet price-drop), the option to buy the Ultimate Alliance games disappeared, as if Mickey Mouse had just snapped his fingers. The prevailing theory was that licenses might be expiring and Activision was quietly trying to sell just a few more copies before they were no longer able to. Hawk-eyed folks on ResetEra saw this coming some ways off, spotting that the Ultimate Alliance games had been dropped down to clearance-sale pricing over on Steam earlier this week.
While store pages for the two are still up, the Activision-published dynamic duo can no longer be bought or searched for on Steam. While not the greatest of games to begin with, and reportedly wonky at launch, the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance series of superhero action-RPGs is no longer available on Steam, most likely due to licensing deals expiring and changing hands.
