Hey guys, I know this may be a little off the wall, but I had an itch to play Stubbs the Zombie the other day. I originally bought it on the Xbox Marketplace when it was first released in May 2008 but had long deleted the game and needed to redownload it.
To my surprise, I couldn't find it anywhere on the Marketplace despite several searches through Bing and attempting to look it up directly. Afterward, I looked on xbox.com to see if I could find it there, and found the original page, but unlike other games like Fable's page, you couldn't purchase it directly from the website.
I had a friend in the UK check, and he couldn't find the game on his 360 either. I've searched through Google, including asking Major Nelson and Wideload Games via Twitter, and can't find any information on when or why Stubbs was removed from the Marketplace.
I was able to look through my past purchases and was successful in redownloading the game through that page, so it looks like Stubbs is still residing somewhere on the Xbox servers. It's just that it's no longer available for any new purchases.
To make matters worse, the game pretty much can't be bought digitally anywhere since Aspyr, the game's publisher, removed it from Game Agent, its digital download store.
Although I can play the game, I'm trying to figure out what happened that Stubbs is now essentially nonexistent on all digital download platforms. This is a fantastic game, and I absolutely adore its soundtrack and really want to make sure other people are aware of the game too.
It's a shame if Stubbs is no longer around due to some stupid licensing conflict. So I'm looking for your guy's help to try to dig up any information on what exactly happened with the game. Any info?
