Fable 2 has vanished from Xbox Live’s ‘games on demand’ service and from Microsoft’s flagship site Xbox.com without a trace. Get the details below.

Gamespot reports on received news tips from gamers who found the game could not be re-downloaded, and that it has disappeared from the Xbox Live service completely. It does remain in users’ download history, but that any any attempt to re-download Lionhead’s game will be met with failure.

If you have the game and either of the Knothole Island and See The Future expansion packs, you can still play them.

We’ve asked Microsoft for comment on the matter but are yet to hear back.

It is painful to be reminded of fable 2 after 3 and ... journey.

People are so quick to jump to "your opinion".

It is good I don't jump that fast. If you read again you will realize that I liked fable 2 a lot, just was very disappointed by 3.

And I lol'd at that meta comment.

Fine, fine. At least you like fable 2 more than 3, so I forgive. lol

Fuck Fable anyways, never liked the rubbish franchise.

*Runs*

I wonder why you can't re-download it. I would be pissed if I bought it and no longer had access. Even other games that went off of XBLA for licensing reasons like Double Dragon, can still be downloaded again if you already bought it.

The joys of DD I guess.

Meh. Games too old for this news to be relevant.

Not really a big deal, I'm pretty sure you can pick up Fable 2 GOTY edition for $5 nowadays.

What about those who already bought it?

They could always log into xbox.com, go into thier puchase history, add fable 2 to their download queue. I'm pretty sure that has always worked for things that were pulled from the marketplace.
