2008 Silicon Knights Xbox 360 exclusive Too Human and its associated content has been pulled from the Xbox Marketplace.

Eagle-eyed Xbox Live Arcade watcher Sacra pointed out on Twitter that the action role-playing game had dropped off the Marketplace, although the product page remains.

Gone is the game itself from the Games on Demand service, the demo, Gamer Pics and Themes.

Microsoft is yet to issue an explanation, although it may have something to do with the 2012 court ruling that ordered Silicon Knights games, including Too Human, be recalled and destroyed after the Canadian studio's court room defeat to Unreal Engine maker Epic Games.

According to the ruling Silicon Knights had until 10th December 2012 to destroy any software it built with Unreal Engine 3, including the code for Too Human, The Box/Ritualyst, The Sandman, X-Men: Destiny and Siren in the Maelstrom.

Additionally, the embattled developer was ordered to cease production of these games and recall and destroy all unsold copies - at its own expense.
