If your a fan of Deadpool and considering this game then do yourself a favor and skip it anyway. Easily worst game I've played this year on Steam and the only positive was some of the gags which could just as easily be watched online.
Bought for my collection of rare games on Steam.
Other Marvel licenses have been pulled recently too. There may be a Disney thing going on.
Wow Disney is rounding up all the Marvel properties. I wonder what they are trying to do.
Once again.
Welcome to your digital future.
The digital future, ladies and gentlemen.
Woe be to the licensed game.

Once those keys are used up it's gone for everyone, unless you sell accounts or borrow someone's, which is far more of a minefield than just buying/lending a used copy.How is this different from a physical game going OOP? I can still play the copy I bought. And after the keys can't be bought from any stores you'll still have people scalping unused keys.
Yup exactly. We had a couple of weeks were we crunched pretty aggressively on Deadpool. Having activision cut aand cut and CUT just took its tole on so many of us. For a studio to demand that we do mandatory overtime for a project and then keep cutting so much time and money from it was ridiculous. At about halfway into development we were told that we weren't even aiming very high in terms of score.
Can you imagine working on a game where your higher ups say "yeah we're shooting for a 64 or lower" and then have them give you mandatory overtime?
btw i'm not shit talking the game. These are just facts. I hate that people find that they can't talk about these sorts of things out of fear of being "blacklisted" or whatever. These kinds of business practices shouldn't happen period. The reward for doing overtime, is knowing that you're contributing to a damn good game, people are going to love and be inspired by what you do, good reviews and the FAIR possibility of bonuses.
I kind of regret not buying Blur way back when.
Lol nice. In a way am happy Sony and Fox are are holding Spiderman and Xmen/fantastic Four hostage. I guess they are the rebels.
Just like Disney's Doug. Oh wait that was never seen again, my bad. Just like so many other things, when Disney puts shit into their vault its gone forever.All going back into the Disney Vault to be re-released 10 years from now

I dont see Wolfenstein 2009 in there. Which is good because it was shit.Bought for my collection of rare games on Steam.
I have to admit when Transformers was a flash sale I was looking to see when prior games were announced and what the studio's doing. Still passed, but the fact we haven't heard about a new game yet IS disconcerting.It's sad that the only consolation that the guys over at High Moon can find is that they lasted longer than most of Activision's studios in not becoming a CoD workhorse.
now I'm worried about the Transformers game I didn't buy
Really? I need to buy this because the game was fantastic.How is this different from a physical game going OOP? I can still play the copy I bought. And after the keys can't be bought from any stores you'll still have people scalping unused keys.
Ghostbusters went back on sale months ago. It's still available through Gamestop and they give you a Steam key.

Is a Hasbro licensed game.
I bought a code for $8 at GameFly in case it gets super rare.
just sayin, it's also licensed, and also by High Moon, and also from Activision, and also just recently had its deepest discount on Steam

Fuck it. Gamefly code for 20% off GFDDEC20
Isn't it obvious? With a physical game (that isn't attached to a single-use code), people interested in buying the game can still find it on the secondhand market (which is why you can find copies of literally any PC game from the last two decades on Amazon or eBay). With digital, once the game is removed from stores there is literally no legal way to obtain the game. There's no way for new buyers to get it, which is inherently bad for preservation and archival of the medium.
yo, what theme is that?
I dont care if it was worse than regular Doug, I still wanted to see all the episodes at least once to have closure of the damn series. But I cant have that because /disneyvault101.Thank god.
