Even an electronic god is no match for Xbox Live administrators, apparently. Too Human and all of it's content has been removed from Xbox Live Marketplace. Though it is still listed on Xbox.com, containing screenshots, an overview and a trailer, all DLC has been removed. This includes it's Gamer pictures, the downloadable Game on Demand and all of it's themes.
The action is likely the result of the recent court ruling against developer Silicon Knights, demanding that all copies of its Unreal Engine 3 games be recalled and destroyed. As of this writing, however, another Silicon Knights UE3 game, X-Men: Destiny, remains available via Games on Demand.
This is the first time I have ever seen this happen. I don't greatly know the game, but I have gone and looked at screenshots on the internet, and it does look like quite a fun and enjoyable game.
"The ruling stated that Silicon Knights had until December 10th 2012 to recall and destroy all copies of its games built using the Unreal Engine 3 at its own expense, including Too Human, X-Men: Destiny, The Box/Ritualyst, The Sandman and Siren in the Maelstrom. Epic Games received $4.45 million from Silicon Knights in damages."
