Thank you Past Self for actually downloading it
I knew I "bought" it from PSN but I didn't think I actually bothered downloading it yet as I haven't gotten around to play it
That was a close one

This is the first digital game I can never redownload. Konami of all companies actually did it.

I think I'm going to delete it from my ps4. It's too painful play it again knowing that we won't get a full version anymore.
Glad to see my thoughts and actions to play this in some form were so eloquently echoed before me. I got P.T. off the PSN store making some silly account name, saving it for later download, and now I can't do shit.
Pleasure your collective executive rectum with a cactus, Konami.

And that's why it will remain forever on my HDD.
And there goes the idea of upgrading to a bigger one. (Though honestly I probably wouldn't have anyway.)

You only purchase a license to use the content, a license the publisher controls

This is fuckin' bullshit!
Maybe I should be more angry at how contracts are getting online 'savvy' in also taking away our access and not being content with removing stuff from sale.
Though it may be that PT was set up differently from full games on the basis of being a free trial thing.

Someone needs to figure out if you can backup P.T. to an external using that feature from update 2.5, and try restoring it to a new hard drive. I wanted to upgrade my HDD in the future, but don't want to risk loosing this awesome game.

Digital copies of Ground Zeroes are next. D:

Weird luddites will use anything in their shitty "Blargh blargh digital bad blargh" cave scawls.
Nobody even purchased that much. It was a free teaser.

This really pisses me off, and I still have it downloaded/installed on my PS4. I know there are many fans for this title [and rightfully so], as well as more potential fans who queued up/downloaded it before they even owned a PS4, with the hopes of one day trying it for themselves.
And now they can't.
So yeah, thanks Konami.

Yes, and just after they did a sale on them. I'm not saying this as a sarcasm, I really see them doing it.

No, it's not that it's free, it's that this shows that publishers can remove stuff if they wanted to. That they have the power to. They'll just cite the EULA they put in each games and say 'Well this never belonged to you'. It's just a possibility. I'm not saying every companies going to do this..buuut...

If I'd paid money for this, then I might be upset.
And after finishing the demo three times (and loving it, and considering it one of the most effectively scary videogame experiences I've ever played), I've no incentive to play it again.
So I greet this development with indifference and a mild lament for what could have been, no more.

Still has a license for use that you purchase for $0.00

I am actually waiting for the patch that removes kojimas name from the in game logos.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
LawyerGAF says that you didn't buy the game, you obtained a license to play the game, terminable at the publisher's will. Which... they terminated.
And that sucks.
Oh man.....this is gonna be interesting. lol.
I think its small enough where you can just back it up with everything else if you do a backup/restore..
It's not my original console, but I had previously downloaded it to this one too.
So there's two possibilities:
1. It's only available here in Europe because our store only updates later today (sorry, but it's past midnight here
)2. It's only available in a console-tied license basis.
Someone in the US, with P.T. in the original console library and currently uninstalled, try to download it. If it doesn't work, we'll know it's because it has been pulled from the US servers.
And this is what I had been wondering about for years now. Now I know and will keep this in mind.

Wasn't it already known they were pulling it?

When news broke that PT was being taken down I down loaded it using my only PSN account. I'm never going to play it but if I see or hear PS4's making a killing on ebay because of PT I'll sell my whole account with a decent digital PS3/Vita/PS4 library and with a pretty good PSN name(Frost-Fiend).
It sucks for true fans of the horror genre and for those who can't download it despite having it in their down load history.

It's indicative of a problem with an "all digital future" and how it relates to archiving games - this is literally a game that no one will be able to play 20 or 30 years from now unless they have it on a PS4 HDD. No way to archive it, nothing. But it was arguably one of the biggest things to come from that years E3. It's just kind of crazy to think that that could just disappear if you weren't around when it was available.
