As far as I know they make a videogame for every movie they release. So the real question would be, why is Marvel not doing anything GOOD with its properties.
Why isn't Marvel doing anything with it's properties?

Activision lost the rights around december-january or so, all their marvel games were pulled off sale, you can't legally buy them digitally anymore(some boxed copies may have survived), including the Deadpool game that was a rather recent release. Same is true for Capcom's Marvel games as well.shrekfan246 said:
The Disney deal was hardcore in its exclusivity, since it even ended running contracts(Activision's wasn't supposed to end until 2017), and retroactively removed the rights from already released games.
I don't expect any new Marvel games for at least a couple of years.
They had a bit of an oversaturation a few years back, which probably saw diminished returns and curtailed their budget a bit. That said, theirs still the usual movie tie ins have swung by.
Its possible they're also trying to avoid pushing the Xmen/F4/Spiderman multimedia presence, in an effort to quash those enough that Fox and Sony are willing and drop the licenses back to them. Which doesn't leave a gigantic number of A-list Marvel characters to draw from.

Marvel Games are more plentiful than DC games.
And if you're going by the standard of the Arkham Games they involved those that worked on the cartoons and was more inspired by both that and the comics but many of you should be worried about the story quality in Arkham Knight as Paul Dini isn't involved and Geoff Johns is a consultant and for anyone who doesn't know (in comics or otherwise) as a DC writer and me as a Batman fan, this guy does not "Get" Batman.
The Wolverine Origins game was real fun.

Right, I'd forgotten about that.Cerebrawl said:
Er, while I wouldn't say Disney isn't responsible, Marvel has been owned by them since 2009. Unless you're talking about some deal I haven't heard about, I believe it's more a case of Disney not allowing the publishers to renew their licenses rather than forcibly taking them all down because of reasons.
That wouldn't surprise me, though, since as I said Disney has never seemed to particularly care about video games in the first place. Though it may be a case of them wanting to pull all of the licenses back to use in their own first-party manner, same as the Marvel cineverse.
Oh don't Forget Spider-man: Shattered Dimensions, that was one of the best S-Man games made thus far.
