But here’s the weird part: expiration dates go back half a century. Twitter user Christopher Foose shared a picture of the download of Chrono Cross, which shows that the game ended on December 31, 1969 at 7:20 p.m. He says that the problem occurred only after re-downloading the game and that now he can not play it on PS3 and PS Vita. GamesHub editor Edmond Tran also found that he could not play Chrono Cross on PS3 due to a 52-year expiration date. And while Tran says he could still play the classic title on his PS Vita, he could not find the entry in the PS Vita store, a sign that Sony may have removed it. Other users on Reddit and Twitter have also reported problems with Rune Factory Oceans, Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and for some, their entire digital library. As described in various issues and posts about the issue, some gamers say they tried to reset their consoles to factory defaults, sign up and unsubscribe from PlayStation Plus, and reset their gaming licenses to no avail. PlayStation has not yet acknowledged the situation and the gaming company did not immediately respond to The Verge request for comment. However, there is a possible reason why this may be the case. Kotaku notes that the problem may be due to an error causing the PS Vita and PS3 to reset the game’s licensing dates to the Unix era or to an arbitrary time and date set by the developers to set the start date. life of a console. Even if this is just a mistake, it raises concerns that Sony is bringing another blow to the PS3 and PS Vita stores. After the gaming company almost closed both stores last year, it made it more difficult to purchase them, removing the possibility of using credit cards or PayPal to make purchases.
