What software aren’t you able to access anymore that you’ve paid for? On PlayStation and Xbox at least even if stuff gets de-listed you can still redownload if you bought it. Same with physical disks
I remember it happened to me back in PS3 days. Back then, they had the PS1 spyro games on the online store, so I used my well-saved Christmas money to buy them as an early teen. Then a few months and quite a few hours of gameplay later, I was really confused to find that I could no longer find them on my account anywhere. Not sure what happened with that licensing-wise, but I could never play the games again and I was so bummed :/
Are you sure it’s not still on your account anywhere? It looks like the original is available on PSN in the US (PS3/Vita/PSP store). I never bought it cause I have it physical.
I’m kinda bored rn so let me grab my PS3 from the cupboard to check- hold on.
EDIT: can confirm they are $5.99 each on the US store. Not sure what region you are in though as licensing can vary.
I do not still have a PS3, or access to that account so I wouldn’t know. Regardless of whether it’s back on or not, I can only speak to the fact that it wasn’t for a long period, long enough for me to have moved out and not have the PS3 any more to even check.
Glad you say it seems to be back, but I can only reference my own experience of it being taken off my account. Who knows if I’d even be able to download the republished version, for all I know I’d have to repurchase it.
Ah alright- was just trying to help if you still had the console and wanted to get your purchase back. I’m very fortunate that I have room in my apartment and can still keep everything.
I appreciate it. Yeah, I was able to take the PS2 when I left thankfully, but at the time my parents were still using the PS3 as their Blu-ray disc player so I couldn’t convince them to let me have it.

Those SecuRom games I bought. No longer functional.

Can you not re-download things you’ve already bought? Closing the store down doesn’t usually prevent that.
