Well, the latest movie to come from Marvel is Deadpool and Wolverine, which has brought a lot of energy to the movie industry.

However, this reception has performed a pinned flip in the gaming industry—spreading the rate over the chart for the Deadpool video game.
Deadpool Game Prices Skyrocket Following Deadpool & Wolverine Movie
Recent Popular Outbreak
Developed by High Moon Studios the game at first was met with both critical acclaim and adequate sales figures.
The humor which mostly consisted of sarcasm, exaggerated heroic action and the accurate depiction of the character that fans of comic books appreciated was well received by gamers.
The game had by this time drifted out of hype but with the coming of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ the people were hyped on all things Deadpool.
It made a physical copy of the Deadpool game to be very expensive and very hard to find on all online marketplaces.
The Impact of Limited Availability
Venues such as eBay have turned out to be a central place for desperate fans willing to pay huge amounts of money to own a hard copy of the game. Some managed to sell for over $140, a figure that is light years away from the original value of the game.
Gamers get, then, a very fair question: how come the title, which at some point was relatively cheap, commands such a steep price in the market?
Part of that has to do with several factors: first, this revival in the character’s fans’ attention raised questions about the increased sales of everything related to Deadpool, including the game; second, the game that was being named and shamed – by its publisher– and pulled out of the digital shelves, was the game that was bought on a disc. This is more demand coupled with even less supply in a twin devilment of price increase.
The Power of Nostalgia and the Future
Speaking of such a situation the fans are very frustrated but it proves the eternity of the Deadpool character and the trust in the concept of nostalgia in gaming.
Contrary to this, with the buzz rings such as “Deadpool & Wolverine” already on an attack, one can only wonder if the price for this game has already reached its highest possible level or is still going up.
At least for now, gaming lovers willing to fully immerse themselves in Deadpool filling the game will have to pay those insane prices or wait.
In very essence, this success has been, for the amazingly simple and intuitive gaming world, somewhat of a fluke.
The terrible prices involved in the Deadpool game also symbolize a very high renaissance of the character and the physical copies.
It is a blend of show business and gambling, as from the depths of all this success spirals in the power to boost the market levels to new turns in the movie. Gaming and fans, naturally, will be watching the outcome in the further months.
