THIS IS NOT TRUE! XBLA games have disappeared because of expired licenses such as TMNT and Outrun, but they were never deleted from anyone's Xbox like Josh Tolpa wants everyone to believe, they were merely not available for sale anymore on XBLA. I even download Demos of TMNT and Outrun before they were pulled and I still have the ability to download the Demos anytime I like even though they don't appear on XBLA anymore. Friends of mine that own TMNT and Outrun have the freedom to delete and redownload both TMNT and Outrun from XBLA anytime they see fit.I have posted the EULA for The Pinball Arcade below and would like anyone to show me where it says our tables will be deleted/removed when licenses expire.<hr />FARSIGHT STUDIOSEND USER LICENSE AGREEMENTPINBALL ARCADE APPLICATIONTHIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE.
