I bought it on Xbox 360 marketplace forever ago, and at some point, it disappeared from my games list and local drive. When I tried to re-download it, it no longer showed up in my purchases. This was a few years ago and before Xbox Live shut down for the 360, and all my other digital purchases were available, just not Syndicate.
Fast forward to now, and I can’t find the game available anywhere (Gog and Steam at least).
I remember it having an all-star cast (Brian Cox and Rosario Dawson, specifically) and some really cool game mechanics and story.
Did that game just get memory-holed? Wikipedia says it was banned in Australia, but that doesn’t apply to me.
Edit: There are used copies I can buy on eBay for the 360 (mine somehow still works) but I was looking to buy a PC version for longevity/future proofing since I like to revisit old games every so often and my 360 is already on borrowed time.
How can it just disappear from your list when it’s a game you bought?
I’d understand why it would not be available to buy anymore, but taking it away from you is crazy.
That’s why I’m always buying GOG when available (or physical on consoles even if it’s doesn’t mean anything anymore).
I dunno, but it did.
My original hard drive died and when I got a replacement, I just went to my purchase history and re-downloaded it. When I wanted to play it a few years ago and noticed it wasn’t on my Xbox anymore, I went back to re-download it and it wasn’t anywhere to be found in my history.
Probably something buried in the XB:Live ToS that says they can do whatever they want.
It’s crazy if they just made it disappear without giving you any notification.
It’d be like a burglary where they put everything back in place so that you don’t notice anything.
I hope it’ll never happen to the games I have only available on Steam.
