Discontinued Apple Software Returns to 'Purchased' Tab in Mac App Store

[MacsRgr8]

I've got more issues with the MAS.

After a clean install of El Capitan I installed the whole bunch of apps again. Most came through all right, but some didn't.
See one example (Call of Duty 4)

Christ! Whether Apple pulled the software deliberately or not, they put it back. Why do h8rs have to continue to brow beat? I feel sorry for their children/spouses/significant others.

Because the h8rs paid for that software so it's theirs and should be able to keep it/download it/install it as they wish?

Now, Aperture for 10.10 it's back as listed, but still won't update..

Delete any existing copy on that computer (and disconnect any external disks where it may also be) and then redownload it from the Purchases section of the App Store.

I'm having the same issue with GarageBand 6.0.5... I was able to search for the installer on Apple's website and download it that way. Annoying, for sure, as I'm worried these older softwares will eventually fall off. Yes, I still use 6.0.5 for a reason... It's the last version of GB that supported Enhanced Podcasts.

Same issue here, I have tried all the solution mentioned in different forum, but apparently it is something more serious (might be a bug in the store).
Hopefully it will be fixed soon, i have some freeware as well giving me that error.

I think it's a licensing thing, introduced after Apple (accidentally or not..) removed some software (older OS, older Server.app, etc).
Waiting patiently for the solution.

I see MPlayer X has the same issue
