I brought a game from the marketplace and it won't play as it's searching for DLC that...

What game did you purchase? The more info we have, the more help we can give.

The dlc appears to have been removed from the marketplace. I searched for it and only found the game. Sorry!

I play it on the daily, and the game itself is fine. The marketplace is the thing that sucks, and I mean SUUCKS. Since you are used to Java, you probably won't need to use the marketplace too much. Just use a web browser to search for skin packs, get one, and never touch the marketplace from the Switch

If you brought the season pass then the characters can only be brought from the in-game store. (I say brought, but they will be free) if you try to buy them from the marketplace then I believe it may try to charge you
for them.

The characters will be avaliable for online and offline play. To access those characters, you go to the bottom left of the character select screen, the one block will open up to the left and all the DLC characters will
be there.

"If you purchased the DLC from the xbox marketplace you should still be able to play the both of the DLC"

I can't I need the game to play the DLC's. So do I have to have a disc or can I download GTA IV from the Marketplace and play the DLC's?
