It's not installed just listed in my library but looks like it can't be removed. Thanks though.
Also, where does it store your save data? And does it have cloud saving like Steam?
Keep up the good fight!

Windows 10 Store games have Xbox achievements.

OK so I have all 112 xbox-enabled Windows 8/10 titles so am kind of invested in the platform. But found this today:
I paid full price for it at release ($6.99) and now can't play it or download it from history. Completely delisted.

This is worth bearing in mind as it can be a major ball-ache if you want to manipulate the folder at a later date, because, simply put, you can't. You can't even change file permissions once it has been set as a storage drive so you are stuck with a folder that is non-deletable.

I mean shit happens (licensing issues etc) but you don't take away access from the people who already paid for the game.
just one more reason to be wary
edit: your avatar has brought about an impulse purchase, a delicious one, thanks!

That was the last confirmation I needed. Microsoft definitely seems to believe they shouldn't provide a warranty for your delisted downloads.
After taking a closer look at it there aren't very many ways to sort and filter. For games specifically, I'd prefer filters such as genre, date released, and average rating. Maybe some way to tell the difference between a racing game, for example, meant for a phone and one meant for a TV, so maybe by screen size? I like the tags that Steam has, so that too.
Additionally, they must enable the ability to download games I've purchased. I get that some games get delisted and can't be bought any more, but for people who have already bought it they should be allowed to re-download anytime they want, or get a full refund.

Is it not possible that it was out of their hands? Can you still download games that are delisted from PSN?

Here we have Apple doing it

Apparently it happens on many digital stores and isn't exclusive to Microsoft. Surprise, surprise.

I think it would be much better if they made an Xbox store for all the games, instead of the Windows store. In fact, roll the Xbox App and games store into one. Leave the Windows store to regular apps.
Xbox is the gaming division after all.

You can still download delisted games you have purchased from Steam.

Uh, fuck. Maybe I won't buy Quantum Break on PC then. I forgot about those Android apps I bought that I can't download anymore. It would make me piss flames if my access for a $60 purchase was removed.

Oh my bad, I didn't realise SonyToo was an appropriate response in a topic about a PC based storefront. I mistakenly assumed other PC based storefronts should be the benchmark.
Steam is obviously the benchmark. Steam is the best digital games store/library PC has. This isn't news. I was looking for other examples of stores that do what I was quoting.
Stop trying to make my discussion fit your narrative.

Is there a way to add money to my account and buy games using that credit? I can't find any option for buying games other than using my credit card directly. I don't want to do that.

You can download games delisted from Steam. Surprise, surprise. And I think you can also download delisted games from PSN too.
As I said above....(why can't people read anymore?)
For the last time, I KNOW YOU CAN DOWNLOAD DELISTED GAMES FROM STEAM! I want to know what stores don't allow you to do this. I confirmed that Apple and Microsoft don't. I don't know about Sony/PSN. Hence the question I was asking "Can you still download games that are delisted from PSN?". "I think" doesn't help me.
Too many eager beavers in MS threads.
The performance of Gears sounds like a real shitshow and their feet certainly need to be kept to the fire on that. And this download issue. Unacceptable for an initial couple months on this stuff. Ridiculous.
Buy Windows or Xbox credit, or use PayPal.
You can add PayPal to your payment methods through your MS account.

Is it possible to re-download P.T. from PSN once you have deleted it?

No, but that was a free download and not something that people paid for.

You can't re-download P.T. from PSN.
Someone did find an alternative method to download it from the US PSN servers but that requires some tinkering and third-party software running on a PC. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1157726

I'll give you $100 for it.
I can still download Double Dragon on 360 despite being delisted years ago, so MS do when it suits them.
EDIT: Can also re-download Ourun Online Arcade on 360 and PS3.
Worst thing is that I doubt BlazBlue would be stopped from being from being downloaded by license issues. The game is still freely purchasable on Steam.
Gamestop is offering $200 for it so I'd start somewhere around there.

THANK YOU! That has been driving me crazy.

listen to the mad man
With all due respect, it's totally inappropriate for you to hijack someone offering a measured, reasonable complaint that affects them personally by replying with "Well anyway other people do it too why are people complaining about Microsoft people are insufficiently pro Microsoft". This is baffling.
The thread was created yesterday and lasted fewer than 12 hours before we had to lock it to delete a personal and angry derail and ban posters. Me posting this is the second time in two days a moderator has to intervene. This is a problem. If people can't discuss this subject freely--which, yes, includes people being able to bring up issues with the service (like people do in every other thread about various console stores and services) then there won't be a thread anymore.

Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't offer a Paypal option for my country (Brazil).
The purchase of credit is done at the Windows Store itself? All I can see there is an option to redeem codes, not actually buy credit. Maybe they block my country for that too.
Between that stuff and the prices they're practicing in BRL (about twice as much as the norm for Steam) looks like Microsoft really doesn't want my money.
Edit: I found the option to buy credit, should have searched more.
I wonder if it's possible to use this credit with another region/currency?
Yeah, go to the Windows Store and search Windows Store credit. Alternatively, I think there is an offer from someone in the B/S/T thread offering discounts on Windows/Xbox credit of any size (e.g., $100 Windows Store credit for $85). I have no idea what the regional restrictions are, so careful.

Should we make another thread for this discussion?
From what I've read so far, we can still download delisted games on XBox and PSN store. Is it a unique circumstance for that game only, or every Windows Store games will face the same fate later?

Very good tweets. I got burned with Gears of War for GFWL.
I'll just stand by and see how this store develops before thinking about buying anything from them.
Yes you can. The only one you specifically can't is PT, because Konami.
lol, that is pretty good. I'm intoxicated too, though.

Why on god's green earth would you choose to buy it on the Win10 store over Steam?
Amazing!Add on to this question: is Oxenfree crossbuy?
I'd love to add it to my collection of it is.
