Short of buying the IP catalog, Microsoft seems to be doing right here.
Someone crunched the numbers and worked out this was cheaper than dealing with people wanting refunds of their DLC content when the main game was delisted.
Well technically yeah, because just giving it the game doesn't inherently cost then anything. It's just a "lost" sale. But it's soon not going to be able to be bought so what's the difference. This is a very sane and good move from MS. Still sucks that they have to delist it though
