    Why am I being asked to pay for games downloaded through GamesWithGold?


    I logged into my 360 for the first time in ages & was surprised to see how light my games section was. Most of the games from disc that I had installed had gone but I also noticed that Terraria was also gone; a game which I got last year thru GamesWithGold.
    I went to redownload it, only to be told I had to purchase it. I haven't had the time to double check if there are other games missing that I must now pay for even though I have them already. Could somebody please look into what is going on here please?

    :)

    E200 error After update

    Hydro you didn't help me at all here. Why Am I being asked to pay for this. This is MS's update. I did not do this. Who do I talk to about this? This Counsel worked fine until this update went through.

    Being asked to pay for a game I already paid for

    Sorry to hear it and I know how frustrating the download history on the console can be. There is a workaround though and it's not from the store.

    Head to the link below and click on Full Games and then sift through until you find the one you want. Then select Add To Queue to add it to your Xbox to redownload.

    you need to do it thru your download history not from the marketplace

    Hey Kets -

    If you don't see the game in your download history on your Xbox 360 and the marketplace still wants you to purchase the games, is it possible that you acquired the games on a different Xbox Live account? Check your >>My
    Games    << section from your Xbox.com profile and see if you see the games in question listed there.

    Keep us posted!

    Umm I downloaded this with GAMESwithGOLD and saw they locked two of three characters behind a pay wall and then immediately deleted the game. Man If I bought this I would be really upset. Pathetic !

    Why am I being asked to pay for games that I have already purchased through the Microsoft Store.

    Good afternoon Rostom

    Firstly I must give you my sincere apologize for not having got back to you sooner, but having had some unexpected guests arrive, I have only just got around to trying the solutions that you suggested.

    Your suggestions were very helpful, and I did indeed finally get to download the games by following your advise.

    Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

    Best Regards
