Deadpool Returns to Steam

Last year, after only six months on sale, Deadpool was removed from Steam, the PSN and Xbox store. It was joined by X-Men Destiny, X-Men Origins and Spider-Man Web of Shadows due to the license Activision held lapsing and them not feeling it worth renewing.

Well, it seems that they have had second thoughts -- but only for Deadpool.

The fourth-wall-breaking merc with a mouth has returned to Steam (and we keep an open mind for other digital outlets).

There's little doubt that this is as a result of the fantastic reception that the Ryan Reynolds-led Deadpool movie has been getting, and is a perfect way to cash in on it. It's cheaper to renew the license on an existing title than trying to make a movie tie-in.
