After 11 years, fans still think the Deadpool game cost $100 million to make, but one of the original devs says that's ridiculous - "$100 million is GTA-level money" (www.gamesradar.com)

It's a super rare game. If you try to buy a copy it's like $100+ and it's not in any eshop, streaming or download service. I've been wanting to play it forever but can never get a hold of one

Nothing like artificial scarcity to screw more money out of folks.

But that's not what this is. The developers aren't making any money off a second hand copy being posted on eBay.

This game is never available because of the copyright and licensing rights that don't allow a rerelease. So the only ones there exist, are the ones that are owned by gamers.
