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.

    And it caused a shitfit in 2012, before people started freaking out about depiction of suicide to the extent they do now.

      Cyberpunk 2077 has a pretty straightforward suicide hack though. People don’t truly care if the game is good.
