Doom and Double D Dodgeball Pulled from Xbox Live Arcade

Two more XBLA titles have vanished from Microsoft's service.


Another pair of Xbox Live Arcade games have unceremoniously disappeared from the Live Marketplace. GamerBytes noticed that both Double D Dodgeball and Doom have vanished from Microsoft's downloadable games service.

The circumstances surrounding Doom's sudden removal seem fairly evident; after Zenimax purchased the game's original developers at id Software last year, the Activision-published XBLA title was practically living on borrowed time already. It's not quite as clear why Double D Dodgeball was pulled, however.
Those of us who already spent our hard-earned Microsoft points on Doom or Double D Dodgeball should have no trouble re-downloading either game from Xbox Live. With that said, no new purchases can be made from here on out.
 
On the plus side, they'll never be able to take away that copy of Doom 64 you've had squirreled away since middle school.
