This is why I don't mess with digital games. Gameinformer recently had a similar story.

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/...lace-renders-game-temporarily-unplayable.aspx

Far Cry was put back up, but it says a lot about the possible future of digital purchases. If companies have the ability to snatch titles away from you after you paid $60 for it, what's the point of buying digital at all?


I'm not sure how it is for last gen, but IIRC, once you purchase a digital title, isn't the license forever tied to your account & Library and unable to be deleted, regardless of whether not it's visible in the store?
At least, that's how I believe Sony handles it on the PS4.

Edit:

Read the article linked and it seems that while what I said is typically the case, for whatever reason MS didn't enable gamers who bought the title digitally to launch it.
That's definitely not a good look.

Right, I've had a few digital games before on PS3 that were taken down from the store and were still playable, but MS just showed us that they can reach out and snatch games from us whenever they want.
