10 Video Games That Were Pulled From Digital Store Shelves (And Why)

A truly underrated side-scrolling beat 'em up from publisher Ubisoft, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game was released alongside the Scott Pilgrim movie in August 2010.

Like its big-screen cousin, the game enjoyed a positive reception from critics and was well-regarded by fans, but just like DuckTales Remastered, disaster struck when it was abruptly removed from digital storefronts several years after its release.

In December 2014, disappointed players found that Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game was no longer available for purchase on the Xbox 360 or PS3 stores, a problem that, once again, was attributed to some of those pesky licensing issues.

For years, the ultimate fate of the game remained in limbo, until it made a triumphant return in September 2020 with the announcement of The Complete Edition - a collection of the original game, plus its DLC - which is due for release in January 2021.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
