Being removed Tuesday from PSN/End of the Year XBLA

I still think this is nuts. If this game was 10 or 15 years old it wouldn't be that weird, but the game came out 2 years ago.

Argh. Does anyone know if you purchase this now whether you can download it later after it gets removed?

@ssully: Removing (Ultimate) Marvel vs Capcom 3 was way crazier. Ultimate came out in the latter part of the last gen and now you can only get it as a physical copy and the DLC is literally impossible to obtain if you didn't buy it already. I missed out on the DLC and now my copy is forever incomplete. (The fact that they didn't just offer it for free before removing it forever was kinda shitty.)

I'm not as averse to digital games as a lot of people, but it's things like this that make you understand why people don't like it. If nothing else it certainly soured me on any future in this series.

I hate seeing games get delisted so much.

I wish licensing deals wouldn't retroactively affect older games.

The perils of online distribution. I'm glad disks haven't gone the way of the dodo quite yet.

Yup, that all digital future certainly has no pitfalls huh?
