Son of a bitch my ex wife is taking the ps4. Argghhh I was counting on being able to redownload it in the future.
Some obscure Japanese PS1 games...like anyone cared about it. I never heard of this incident. Anyways this wont happen with western devs/titles else SONY + other party would get sued.
Dont equate the digital future paranoia thing with stupidity Konami or some japanese company is doing. This was a free demo. As much as I hate Konami doing this, its not really a big deal. You spent $0 on it plus it was advertised to be removed from PSN. Paid content would be a whole nother can of worms.

Remember there is shareplay so there can still be a chance to play it.

Why couldn't they have pulled the download the day they delisted it? Instead they let people think that it's ok to redownload it in the future for 5-6 days and THEN have it taken off the servers. That's some intentional, devious shit to pull.
If Konami wants to stop video games, fine, but why do they have to do in the most ridiculous, painful way possible to their fans?! This is some scorched earth shit.

How is original XBox Live Arcade treating you? What about your Halo 2 and Unreal Championship DLC packs?

Yeah... Let's warn everybody to deactivate the auto-download of patches.
Maybe they will disable that option too.

Sadly you are wrong.Read your license of use terms. Just because it's game few "cares about" doesn't change how digital titles operate

Yeah I was about to say, he's prt of the social team which is on lockdown now so if he isn't already gone I'm sure his days are numbered. Poor guy.
All my rage, Konami.
Ask a mod if they can add the Euro warning to thread title. Any bit helps.
Eventually they will ALL die. Steam, XBLA, PSN. There will be nothing left. Decades of games will be wiped from being able to be played for all people forever.
But we all will die some day too. Dead, forever. Gone, never able to experience any entertainment product of any kind, forever.
I better unplug the ethernet cord just in case Konami tries to get in.

Then why not do it last Tuesday, the day it was delisted. Why not have Sony do it the same day.
Edit: It was delisted April 29th, a Wednesday. That's even more devious bullshit. Why not have them delist it and pull it from the serves on the same day, a day earlier. Fuck Konami.

Good idea! Only $10 per play, and I'll accept PayPal. : P
Thank Chris I saw this thread in time and bothered to check my PS4.
A strange note: I just looked up to see the percentage downloaded and it had done 666.x MB. Truly this game is cursed.

If it's anything like most digital marketplaces, they don't need a patch to do that. They can just revoke the license, and in some cases delete it remotely without warning. (An eBook retailer pissed off a lot of people when they deleted books off of people's devices, at one point.)
I just realized P.T.'s about to get a lot more mysterious to people in the future now, unless they stick it on a future disc or something. Not quite Polybius, but like a Ring-style VHS tape.
"A friend of a friend has a copy of P.T. on an old PS4. They said it was TOO scary, and so the lead developer quit and they pulled it off their network."
"That's not true."
"It is! His brother keeps the PS4 locked up safe, and whenever he's asked about it, he just whispers, 'A Hideo Kojima Game.'"

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
I find it hilarious that people assumed they would still be able to download it again after Konami had stated they were going to delist it last month.

Can they hurry up and sell their assets and IP to someone? If Konami doesn't wanna do anything then let someone else do it. I honestly don't wanna buy MGSV now because of what they've done.
Great, don't even have a PS4 to download the game to even when I get one early next year/late next year X(.
Also a great way to show that they have the power to just 'take away' stuff you own on PSN.....gonna back up Metal Gear Solid 1, Sudiken 1, Silent Hill, Silent Hill Origins and Castlevanna to my PC soon to prepare for them to remove that next

I'm sending them so many burned yugioh cards. Covered in cum and squid ink. In a Wii u box.
Email from SCEA told me that content purchase (even free) would remain available for download so long as it was being downloaded by the original account. Who knows if they even know anymore. :/

Pretty sure this is the first delisting that flat out got rid of it if you already owned it.
Fat chance. This sort of behavior clearly shows that Konami is going beyond scorched-earth when it comes to their video game division. They'll literally hold on to Castlevania and Metal Gear and Silent Hill just to slap them on slot machines.

One day, but thats gonna be the far flung future. Dumping the files will happen, but then how would you actually play it. Emulating the PS4 is probably not gonna happen for a very very long time.

"Konami let us redownload PT!"
"PT? We don't know what your talking about."
"That horror teaser for Silent Hills."
"We don't know what your talking about. Are you feeling well?"
"You trying to make me look crazy. I'M NOT CRAZY!"
