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.

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.
