Yeah, this is pretty lame. I dont understand why you would pull it off, if there is still a possibility of getting sales. Unless its like you said, and the price of putting it on PSN was more than they were getting from selling the DLC.

All I know is that Im glad I snagged the DLC when I did, since I love playing with Carnage and Magneto. However, this is a pretty sad move, especially since people who get the game now will not be able to play online with people who have had the game since last year.

So they deliver a poor experience first when they don't live up to the hype, then they just bury themselves deeper with this fiasco, wow.

Yeah, this doesn't help make me want to invest in any Activision products.

Not just activision, but any DLC. This is really damaging because why pay for something that is going to vanish after a few years?

They're just going to make a GOTY or Gold edition in a few weeks, believe me.

My guess is incompetence.

My second guess is Microsoft might be charging similarly to what Sony is rumored to charge, but with no proof in either case you're just guessing, too.

Idiotic.

Not to be argumentative, but it didn't fail to live up to my expectations. I was excited for the prospect of a good sequel, but passed on it due to lack of funds. Now I'm glad I did, and I'm oddly complacent about this game.

I thought it was a good game. Its problem was that it was considerably worse than the first game.

I didnt think it was a bad game, just the really failed to utilize the Civil War to its full extent and played it off with a terrible twist.

I enjoyed it for what is was though, a beat em up with some RPGish elements.

how incredibly lame. its not like a physical product that takes up shelf space. well ok, it takes up a little disk space and bandwidth. taking it off the market is just silly especially when considering the points kat mentioned about incompatibilities between players that have or don't have the DLC. its absurd that the game was designed like that in the first place but THAT is another subject all together.

. . . So I was just talking about this content, like Carnage and them, with my room-mates. And I was just about able to scrape up the money to buy them. And now they're gone? Forever?

I think my day, and motivation to really want to play, is shot. :/ I was really looking forward to buying Carnage and them -- it was like I was a kid again, saving quarters and stuff to buy the candy I wanted. And now the candy has been taken away when I was a few dollars away. And if it comes in a Gold edition? The characters better be on sale again, because I'm not buying a fresh copy of a game I already rightfully own. Forget that noise.

I'm not really mad or anything. It's just a game, at the end of the day. But I can't lie and say I'm not incredibly disappointed, and even a little sad.

Before this turns into a "let's trash Activision/Microsoft/Sony for a bone-head move," I want to remind everyone that Disney just recently finished buying Marvel Comics. The timing of that and the pulling of this content does not feel like a coincidence.

Call it a hunch, but I think this move was beyond Activision's control.

We already checked that - Activision renewed their license for Marvel until 2017.

Plus all the MUA 1 stuff is still there.

I do not see any DLC for MUA 1. And MUA 2 has no page to look for.

Hm... glad I grabed it while it was there, now I feel like a rare hunter, lol I got all the guys they had

Yeah, got all the extra characters too, but only played Juggernaut so far. I'm wondering how do I actually keep characters that I unlock during a campaign ? Because every time I start a new campaign, and even on a higher difficulty, all unlocked characters are gone and skills have been reset to zero again.

Just bought the game a few days ago from Gamestop. Having heard I could have played as Cable, but now won't be able to, I've resolved to exchange the game for something more worth while. Nice Job Activision.

It actually comes down to the legal issues with Disney buying Marvel, so blame Disney. Activision dropped it without a word at the end of 2009. But brought it back from July to December 2010. So they at least gave gamers a second chance.
