Xbox BC people with Doom installed: do not delete it, Beth straight up yanked it [Update: Fixed]

Going all digital on closed platforms like consoles is a bad idea for game preservation. Shame on Bethesda for this
Has anyone actually booted up this new release of DOOM II to see what all is included? Sometimes the marketplace listings omit stuff. Would be really crappy if this version doesn't have No Rest for the Living.
You only get Doom 1, 2 and Rest for Living episode with the BFG edition and yes they are on disc.
I recommend getting the "Doom Classic Complete" version if you want everything like Final Doom and the bonus episodes. It is currently only available on the US PSN so act fast if you want them.
LMAO what?? Everyone can remember the first great FPS game, Elder Scrolls: Arena in 1994 lol.
It's a shame I like so many of the devs under their umbrella because Bethesda the publisher is scummy as hell. Makes me angry they're the only big game company from my home state.
Oh, i believe they purposely took it down. What im saying is that it will likely be available for dload for those who own it already, assuming this was always available digitally.
Thanks! I am happy enough with what's on the disc then. I also have the original PSX release of Doom on disc (and on my PS Classic) so between all of those, that's all the Doom I'll ever need.
Is it in the "download history" when you check that on an actual 360? That's how I re-download old delisted games like Simpsons Arcade and the early MvC games (and Doom and Doom II that brief time it was delisted when it was sold from Activision to Bethesda). I'm thinking about checking myself, but I have a lot of freaking purchases and scrolling all the way down to 2011 is really tedious lol.
Does anyone know if it can be re-downloaded on 360? I wonder if they're killing it altogether.
Final Doom is honestly not that great and skippable imo. Doom Complete isn't even an accurate title for the PSN version because it doesn't have Doom 64 (which is canon as of Doom 2016's story).
One minute in.
Seems Todd Howard's mentality isn't exclusive to him.
You are welcome.
Yeah it is a shame about Doom 64. It is better than Doom 2 IMO.
It's concerning publishers can take it away in the first place, but as long as it's made available again to those of us that purchased it soon, it's ok I guess. Microsoft and Sony needs to protect what we purchase, so publishers don't run amok with crap like this. I also thought that was their message these last few years, so this is hopefully a mistake.

If they removed it from download lists on the Xbox 360, that is when shit should really hit the fan.
Holy shit, glad I still own my physical 360 BFG Edition on pure principle
Like, I was going to buy them again on Switch, but this is NOT COOL at all

Sadly yes. Just recently some Telltale games were completely removed and a download is no longer possible.
Nah, fuck it, shit should hit the fan right now. Bethesda is taking away products that people lawfully purchased to try to get them to pay for the products again. This should be the biggest horror story of any all digital proponent.
Yeah having an id Software employee on the stage to back you up makes some amount of sense, yet Duffy didn't even join the company until Quake 3.
He should be saying "we bought the IP of the first FPS along with the guy who programmed it, then we later tried to sue his ass off!" But I guess that doesn't roll off the tongue the same way.
What? Even If you already own them you can't download them anymore? That's fucked up
I worry that most people won't notice or care, and it will quickly be forgotten.
Can anyone confirm if PS3 BFG Edition is still in their download list? (If you bought it digitally that is)
Yes, we know. You have to buy them even if you already own the previous versions.
Yea, but those are the updated versions that removed Leaderboards and online functionality(MP). That really sucks.
Yes, it's fucked up. But I just checked again. Some of the removed games reappeared (Minecraft Story Mode). The one game that is still missing is Guardians of the Galaxy.
Must have missed that info. Sorry.
Do you not want me to buy Doom Eternal? Cause that's how you get me to not buy Doom Eternal. Not cool Bethesda. Glad I have it installed on my console still, but this better be an accident
If this is half as bad as it looks, I'll legitimately blacklist Bethesda from any future purchases in this hobby. And to be clear, I love their output. This goes beyond the sort of consumer lobbying communities will do; this has the appearance of an actual bad-faith seller.
I'll leave Doom Eternal on the shores of hell, don't test me. Are there any Bethesda reps in the Resetera community we could get clarification from?

Let me clarify.
I have only Doom 1 Purchased. If i go to my download History, i can re-download Doom 1.
If you want to buy Doom 1 or Doom 2 for the Xbox 360, you cant. Since the XBLA versions are delisted, even if you don't own an Xbox One, and try to do so directly on the Xbox 360 consoles.
However, you can still download the Doom 1 and Doom 2 demos, but you can't "Unlock" it by purchasing.
..do you expect them to release these physically? Also, Doom has been preserved. Don't worry.
I own Doom 1 BC edition.
This asks me to buy it. That's fine if the other edition wouldn't run away from your ready to install list. But it does? That's double shit.
Seems so. No online of any type; the leaderboards are gone too.
Thanks for checking. Yeah I just got done scrolling down the list. Both Doom and Doom II re-downloaded fine.
Strange that the leaderboards (and it seems xbox live multiplayer as well) are still up on the 360 version on an actual 360, but greyed out when playing the 360 version on an Xbox One.
Rather than freaking out, I'm choosing to believe this is a legitimate mistake.
Probably some database clash caused by having 2 versions of the games with the same name or something.
I expect my XBLA versions of Doom 1 and Doom 2 to be restored at some point in the near future.
I'll give them until the end of the day to make a comment about it.

I purchased Doom II for the sake of an article that's about to go live at Ars Technica. I was able to confirm that all online content has been removed, along w/ the expansion pack that was exclusive to the 2010 XBLA version.
The problem isn't that you can't buy it, it's that if you already bought it you can't redownload it.
