Eh, six years really. I'd also like to know where you got skyrocketibg from. Latest that I heard is that DD is going down on the 360.

Probably because people are sick of Microsoft yanking game out from under them because they don't own the rights anymore. I spent 100$+ on Xbox Originals games that were deleted from my HD because MS simply stopped offering that service. This is why I buy used games. Smart companies operate with the 'original copy of the game comes with one-use code' for online and other shenanigans. If you don't have that code, you can buy one. Easy peasy. Any game publisher that gets behind shit like SOPA (because some have) or whine about used games hurting their sales are not flexible enough or just stupid.
Domineering shit like DRM is even worse. Whereas a human being physically picking up a game and shelling out for it is a pretty binary operation, DRM is overbearing, complicated and prone to some pretty debillitating errors.
The whole thing is fucking stupid. Used games forever.
