Possible XBLA Delistings
In their recent announcement, Microsoft announced that Xbox Live Arcade titles would be delisted if they have been available for more than six months, have a Metacritic average of less than 65, and have a demo-to-full conversion rate of less than 6 percent. Only Microsoft knows the conversion rates, but MyGen compiled a list of games that fell under the other two criteria.
Microsoft has not released an official list of games that will be delisted yet, but fans might want to take a look at the list to see if there is anything they missed. You never know if the next time you see Defender will be your last.
