We noted over the weekend that players are having issues getting Gears of War 3 to work on Xbox One, and Xbox 360 game Shadows of the Damned is also having issues.
In this case, the issue is that Shadows of the Damned is no longer available to purchase on the Xbox Store. The page for the game still exists, but trying to buy it results in a message that tells you the offer isn't valid in your region. The link to purchase it has completely disappeared from the Xbox 360 marketplace.
We'd take a guess that this isn't an intended delisting by Microsoft, as EA Access subscribers can still play the game with no issues. In any case, we'll let you know if and when we get any updates on this.
Have you been having issues with Shadows of the Damned? Let us know in the comments.

Also missing from my library. What is going on? This does not give a good impression to digital sceptics.... and I’m someone who switched to digital 5 years ago. Hopefully this and gears 3 will get sorted and reappear soon. As I commented on the gears 3 story I have reported that it is missing, I may also report this too.
One of the [many] things that scared me off the Xbox one at launch was the fear that sooner or later they would turn around and somehow leverage that unique ID per disk stuff to revoke licenses on physical media. It was FUD, but strong FUD.
Eventually the BC thing got announced and reliance on having to download a different version of the game (instead of the console somehow making the disk work) made me ignore it entirely for years. Eventually I caved and started using it and playing Xbox again.
This mess, even if so far with just two titles (gears 3 being a damned major one) are likely bugs, but they are totally unacceptable bugs that completely shatter trust. I’m here making a double take right now in weather it’s actually wise to trust the platform long term. Too many fears re-emerging. This is the kind of thing I would had expected to be fixed ASAP.
