Recently, some Xbox One users started reporting that their digitally purchased copies of Xbox One games have stopped working. According to the reporters, their digital Xbox One games (most notable Forza 5 and Dead Rising 3) worked fine for few weeks to a month initially but then the play option for the purchased games disappeared. The users get error code 0x87de07d1″ when they try to play the certain game and they are prompted to buy the game/license again.[...]
Some reports claim that Microsoft has placed a region lock on digital Xbox One games and DLC. Game licenses have been deleted from Gamertags and users will now have to purchase same games again. One user reported that his Forza 5, which he bought from Xbox Live Marketplace using redeem code, stopped working. He called the customer support where he was told that digital Xbox One games and DLC are region locked, however there is no region lock on physical game discs. He was told by the Advocacy team that the game codes can only be redeemed from the country that is listed on users Xbox Live account. If the code is redeemed from any other country, the game will suddenly stop working after some time and user will get 0x87de07d1″ error code.[...]

If this is true, and they are not going to refund people, that is pretty low.
