…Oh well, damn, I guess digital stores do shut down. Yeah, in July 2024, Microsoft pulled the plug on the Xbox 360 marketplace and, in the process, made it harder than ever to buy and play some Xbox 360-exclusive games.

Sure, some Xbox 360 games are available to buy and play on Xbox One and Series X/S consoles, and you can still download games you own, but it’s really depressing to watch hundreds of games just get blipped out of existence like that.

If companies want us to invest money into buying digital games and movies instead of physical ones, then more laws and rules will be needed to stop places from just shutting the servers down the moment it becomes financially beneficial. Otherwise, a lot more people are going to start sailing the digital seas to find and secure the movies and games they love.
