SE being SE - FFVII PC can't be re-downloaded after 30 days of install

Something that cropped up on NeoGAF and I agree needs some attention brought to it is if you bought FFVII on PC but deleted it or uninstalled or whatever, you literally can't re-download the game 30 days after buying it. So if you wanted to take it back up after that but don't have the files anymore you have to either buy it again or pirate it.

This seems to be an issue with DR... Still, I dunno why SE are using them. You have to purchase their Extended Download Service. Dick move.

What are you on about pirate it? You can download the game from anywhere... As long as you use a CD-Key that you purchased its not illegal.

Who cares? Games ancient.

PS4 remake pls SE.

It's the newer version, with added features and compatibility with newer systems. It's also not just this game... Digital River does this in general.

This.

It does'nt matter where you got the software. The key is the important part.

Well... Looks like I'm not buying any more Square Enix games.Shewgenja

Buy them through another source. It's rumoured that FFVII and FFVIII are coming to Steam.

I already have FFVII on the PS1 and on the PSN store, so I have no qualms skippikng this version.
