xbox arcade games not supported by live in the future.

When do you think they will stop support live for xbox 360? I know they plan to support 360 for well into the xbox one's life. However I'm quite annoyed that our xbox live arcade games won't be transferable to xbox one, It really discourages from spending much money on xbox arcade titles hereafter, as they won't be supported by live indefinitely.

The thing to remember with digital purchase is that you don't own the game, you merely own a license to be able to play that game for as long as it is supported by the platform holder. This is the case across all digital formats and isn't something many are aware of.

It's not impossible that you won't get a software emulation and a way to run it, but the two systems are different which is why we haven't seen any b/c of any kind across the systems yet.
