MS Store - Not Currently Available

Why are the older games not available to purchase anymore from the MS Store? I would very much like to complete the games before they are no longer available to play anymore.
Does anyone know why? And is it like this in the rest of the world or is it some sort of region lock?

Edit: Read the sunsetting article again and saw the reason and why I don´t understand it, it is what it is. Guess ODST will be stuck on 860GS

Unless you have an Xbox One S or something similar that doesn’t have a disc reader, you can pick up a physical copy for next to nothing.

Grab yourself a physical copy if you want to play/finish anything off. These may begin to go up significantly in price soon though.

That´s exactly it. Have a X1S Digital without disc reader… But not much to do about it

Some DLC map packs are also unavailable which is unfortunate.

they were delisted due to the online services sunsetting next year. If you want to play these games, a retail copy is suggested
