PT no longer downloadable in US (and EU/UK) even with license

Where's the petition to have it be published by Sony?
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
This is just phase one. After the consoles containing the game are removed from ebay, they will begin taking down lets plays from Youtube and Twitch. Eventually, there will no longer exist evidence that PT was ever a thing.
No there isn't, not in this case. I went through a purchase flow and my account was entitled with a digital license to access PT. Just because that purchase cost 0 doesn't give them a greater right to restrict access compared to something I paid money for.
This is scarier than the game itself.
Maybe this was Konami's plan all along. To turn it into an urban legend.

What's next, Konami's gonna get Sony to give them a list of EVERYBODY who downloaded the demo and MAKE them delete them from their PS4s or, through some legal bullshit loophole, charge them with some sort of bullshit crime?
Yes it does. Sorry 'bout it.
Don't give them ideas!
God, I hope so. I'm kind of surprised it hasn't happened already, what with the console exclusivity. So far there's only this remake of just the level geometry. I'm debating whether to watch a full playthrough or just wait for a PC fan version.

I think this would be the best idea. If we can keep it in some format, maybe it can live on in the future.
That's cool, you can post bullshit like this. Just don't in turn wonder why some people have real problems with accepting digital media.

That isn't saying much. Most of these companies aren't going out of their ways to be assholes. Whereas Konami is.
That is the underlying problem here. Konami are assholes. Any of those other games that don't get taken down completely fall under categories that whoever is under the dispute agrees not to take deliberate action to fuck over their customers for whatever reason. Konami is unique here because they are going out of their ways to be complete assholes in the very likely event that they are the ones who demanded that Sony take the game down.
From Sony's perspective, they can either comply, or risk Konami suing them. As a digital distributor the chances that they'd win litigation in this case are probably slim.

I'm kind of surprised that no one has suggested that Sony get Kojima and Del Toro together again and instead of Silent Hills, have them work on Siren instead.
The guy who made the original Silent Hills (Keiichiro Toyama) left Konami for Sony and has been at Sony ever since. Toyama ended up creating and working on the Siren series as well as Gravity Rush.
If Sony is able to get Kojima and Del Toro and Norman Reedus together, they could also add Toyama to the mix and maybe we would have something more compelling than what PT provided/suggested.

There you go. If the PS4 ever gets homebrew then people will be able to throw this file on a USB device and plug it into their PS4s and play it. It's a free game so hopefully saying that isn't frowned upon, it's one of those rare instances in which it's actually a good thing.

I don't remember if people liked Siren: Blood Curse (New Translation) or not. I wonder if it's worth buying and playing now.
Is there actually a way to transfer this to a PS4 and have it decrypt and be playable if you have the license?
This seems to be only for US. Have only got that message on my US account.It's official:
I just got this message on PSN.

It might be by proxying calls to your own server instead of PSN. I'm sure we'll find out in the coming weeks.

haha that's great.
Would be hilarious if more games going forward randomly include that.
Not that Konami cares.

Yeah, it's gone. Did someone get it? Please reupload on Mega or something.
Don't punish yourself like this. Buy it used if you really have to stick it Konami, but don't deprive yourself of a good upcoming game.

Just went on Ebay and all of the PS4 with pre-loaded PT have 0 bids... But, people are still asking crazy amounts of money for these! Some are looking for over $1,000!

And probably a lawsuit from Konami.
Either way, Konami's gonna be a pachinko health club factory, so might as well buy MGSV to support Kojima and his team's work.

I'm very sorry to say this but I hope #7 happens. If I can't enjoy P.T because I took too long to buy a PS4, I don't want anyone else to enjoy it.

Why, exactly? The premise is they'd be working on a Siren or Siren-like game. What grounds for a lawsuit do they have?

This post makes me hope they all get deauthorized if only so you can never play it. It was so good.
Guess there wasn't a lot of interest in doing that. A lot of its games ended up on PC anyway, right? Except Breakdown. God I always wanted to play that game.
Konami is that you?

The links were on reddit so it's out there. If the PS4 is hacked it'll resurface.

Hmm now that this is getting traction among the big developers, maybe we have a chance...?
They better be fucking working on Siren 4 after Gravity Rush 2. I'll be upset if they're not.
Be that as it may, and it might signal good things, Sirens' mythos is not Silent Hill's. And I fell in love with the latter.

Damn. Have it on list but never would have thought they'd remove it from being downloadable. Fuck.
I hope Kojima and Del Toro still end up making the game in some capacity under whatever studio works best for them. If I remember clearly, Kojima was saying that P.T. was a fun experiment but didn't necessarily reflect how the full Silent Hills game would be, that the full game most likely wouldn't just be a longer P.T.
Now that he would be completely free from having any ties to the Silent Hill franchise, I'd love for them to just make a completely original horror game that is just a full version P.T.

Did someone remake it in UE4?

With Konami lately, I'm sure they would claim IP grounds or something....

Aren't you a ray of sunshine. .
Actually, I don't think they're even working on Gravity Rush, since that studio is helping with some VR stuff (shown at this year's GDC).
No, they send out their Pachinko-Yakuza squad.

Give it back!!!
The biggest horror in P.T. is the fact that my PS4 my die and I may lose the game indefinitely.

You sir, can kiss all our P.T. owning asses.
Not bullshit. Suck it up. You have a long, difficult life ahead of you otherwise.
