Did you buy your drastic the first time you installed it?

I sure did. at first it was working fine until my sonic chrobicles stopped working and I wanted to find an update for it. I saw the new update but the only thing that it would say was Open or Uninstall so I went ahead and unistalled it to see if that would let me update it. After that it didnt let me install it and it says to buy it. I dont know if it is a problem with google play but it doesnt even appear in my app list.

you could turn off/on your phone but its one rare problem you have there if you really bought it. usually, store bought items wont do that.

UPDATE: I looked on it and it seems that its a problem on googles side.

i really do not know... its just one of those things that goes back after a few hours i think? like server problems i suppose.

This is a known issue - infamously called "Market Limbo". Various solutions have been proposed and some of them work with varying degrees of success..

- Clearing the market data from Settings -> Applications, then doing a reboot
- Clearing the cache and dalvik cache from the recovery
- Using the "Fix permissions" option from the recovery (assuming you have a custom recovery installed)
- Flashing the latest gapps zip + gapps fix
- Removing and re-adding your google account! (WARNING: Will delete your contacts, messages etc)
- Full factory reset and flashing a stock / new ROM. :)

Edit: If you have Titanium Backup, you can also try the market doctor and forcefully re-linking the app to the market.  

you may try this but as a disclaimer,do it at your own risk.
