Microsoft working to fix “technical glitch” causing games to vanish from Xbox Live Marketplace

Over 1000 games already disappeared!

TheGreatGamer3869d ago

There is no relevant image, that's the point, they've vanished

Why is Xbox Live so glitchy and buggy?

Army_of_Darkness3868d ago

The games obviously vanish into da clouds people :-P

TheDevKit3868d ago

I've had few incidents with Xbox live comparative to other services.

MS' new indie advertising program ("the majority of which are independent games").

Xbox Live goes wonky maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

It's natural when we get close to updating the dashboard or when things are being tested in the background by the XBL team.

Not to mention the massive amount of logistics and such that have to be carried over for the Xbox One and Xbox 360 to run off (basically) the same service.

Also this would be the first time that something the scale of Xbox Live is to be shifted to a system like Xbox One that is going to add so many more features (as will Sony with PS4...it remains to be seen whether they will have goofy problems as well)

RyuCloudStrife3868d ago

Just the other day I saw a glich that allowed for people to download some free games, and not so long before that some other bug /glitch/exploit.

Im just telling you the last 7years with Xbox Live for me have been like this. That free game glitch I do remember as that had just happened what like two weeks ago? Some glitches are also region contained like when Xbox Live servers get overloaded...usually happens to the East US servers but I never have a problem since I am In Canada and probably access West US servers.

Like I say, in general, average is probably 2 weird occurrences for me a year

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil1d 7h ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai1d 1h ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle11h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

Abnor_Mal7h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II - PC Wore it Better

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.

dadavis199223h ago

Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.

Michiel198912h ago

there is a client made by modders and it also works online.

kevco3311h ago

Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.

Ew VO actors and their cringe core. Fiverr voice actors could out perform this chump.
