As the title says, games you have on your gaming accounts but are no longer legally available for whatever reason, that can't be purchased anymore, were scrubbed off of the internet and so on. For starters, I have these on my Steam profile:
- Prehistorik (2013) A friend of mine lent me a key for the game that was removed from all stores and unlisted from the devs' sites, most likely for being a piece of crap and being offensive. You can't find it anywhere and MobyGames still isn't listing it.
- Moirai
- Gods Remastered Bought it specifically because the devs informed that it was going to be delisted, I yet have to play it but at least it's still in my account.
- Successor Of The Moon Chinese rip-off of the Momodora series, bought it during a sale, now removed from Steam because it reused some assets and music from other games.
Do you have any examples of games you own that can't be accessed anymore?

I have a dozen or two games on WiiWare which I guess fit the mould. My system isn't hooked up so I can't remember all of them, but here's what comes to mind:
Castlevania The Adventure: Rebirth Gradius Rebirth Contra Rebirth Star Soldier R My Pokemon Ranch Bonsai Barber Jett Rocket Tomena Sanner Dive: The Mendes Islands Secret
To my knowledge these games aren't available anywhere officially.

WiiWare and soon DSi, 3DS and Wii U exclusive downloads are going to be in the same boat. There's also a boatload of 32-bit iOS games that never made the transition to 64-bit that are only available to redownload. Working 32-bit hardware is actually very cheap so it isn't impossible to get them running again. Out of all that I have, I would say the most notable is SMT I. That is the only official English port the game ever got! Atlus also ported the sequel, but that didn't get an English release.

On PC, both Alpha Protocol and Prey 2006. The first one I bought well before it was pulled, and the latter I had to do find on steam via a key seller, which I do not recommend for extremely obvious reasons. Really wanted to do an article on it.
I'm not sure I still have Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack or Greek Encounter but both of those count. The first seems to have been pulled due to payment issues the devs had with Devolver, and the latter due to it being both ass and also being sold solely on Desura, which went under a long while ago.
I won't count phone games since the ones I have no longer listed are ancient Java games I have to emulate.
