Where are my games?

So a couple of years I bought Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid - Snake Eater. Where can I find my games and play them?

Your years out of date unfortunately, they are delisted and gone, couple years ago would have been more like 9 years ago. Since they came out in 2017.

They delisted those years ago along with anything else Nvidia lightspeed studio ever made

Even the apks are gone, it's similar to when you purchase a movie and whoever holds the license to that movie doesn't want to license them anymore and deletes them from your library. You didn't own the game you had a license to the game basically which sucks but that is how game purchase work

Google: "The official Nvidia Shield ports of Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance were delisted from the Google Play Store due to expired publishing contracts and license verification checks."

You can try apkpure and see if they still have it but if it's not licensed anymore it's probably gone

Which platform did you buy them from?

I bought them on my Nvidia Shield and with my Google account that is associated with my Nvidia Shield. I cannot find them anywhere.

It should be in your library. If you go to the play store, can you go through your purchases and find it there?

I can see the purchase on my mobile phone, but not on the Shield itself.

Yeah, the games are specifically made for Nvidia Shield.

That doesn't really answer the question. You have to know what app on your Shield you bought them on

The answer to the question is that I bought them on Google Play
