How is it that I own a bunch of Xbox 360 games I never bought digitally?

So, I was browsing the Xbox 360 store to grab a bunch of 360 exclusives that never got ported to PC before the store gets shut down and found myself scratching my head many times. I sold my Xbox 360 way back in 2013 and haven't bought a physical game for the platform since. However, there are games I distinctly remember having physically that I sold years ago that still show up in my owned content.

For instance, Gears of War 2 and Gears of War 3 both show as owned but I know for a fact I never bought these games digitally. I only had physical editions. When I check my purchase history on the marketplace, they are nowhere to be found either. Where did they come from? How come I own them when I sold them over a decade ago?

Bonus question, since the store is getting closed, it means we will no longer be able to buy DLCs for Xbox 360 games, correct?

Gwg I would imagine? Anything you claimed in the past you own forever.

Or maybe you purchased gears 4? That game gave you gears 1-3 for free.

They are probably from games for gold. Those show up as owned games.

I did purchase Gears 4. Had no idea it also gave you 1-3 as well. Well, I guess that answers my question lol.

While this thread is open, any other recommendations that aren't available on PC?

I have:

Blue Dragon
Conker's Live and Reloaded
Gears of War 2
Gears of War 3
Gears of War Judgement
Lost Odyssey
Ninja Gaiden Black

I was browsing the list earlier and so many games delisted. Why were those warnings not told to us.
Seriously. I was talking with my brother and he wanted to play Conker’s Bad Fur Day again. I told him about Rare Replay and the remake for Xbox, but the remake may be delisted. I can still see it, since I bought it, but the option to buy it as a gift isn‘t there. 🤔
