I'm not buying the whole "we can't distribute it anymore because of the likeness of whatever his name is, therefore we had to take P.T. down completely" argument.
TMNT 1989 Arcade is gone from the Xbox store due to expired licenses but I was able to redownload it just recently.
Both After Burner Climax and OutRun Online Arcade are gone from digital stores because of the Northrop Grumman and Ferrari licenses expiring, respectively, but they are still downloadable if you bought them already.
Part of the reason this is news is because it is unprecedented. In virtually every other case, when a game has been delisted from Xbox Live Marketplace or the PlayStation Store, you can still redownload it if you downloaded it in the past. This is even true of Konami games, such as The Simpsons Arcade Game. And, this extends to free things as well. It is still possible to re-download Yaris (though I'm not sure you'd want to do that). I am certain that whatever dealings made that game possible are long dead.
We can continue to theorize over this but if I were a betting man, I'd wager it had nothing to do with that guy's likeness.
