Final Fantasy VII PC Purchase has Thirty Day Limit
If you bought the PC re-release of Final Fantasy VII when it released last year, your download link has now expired. Although technically this was disclosed at purchase, it doesn’t seem to have been placed in a way that the majority would have seen it. Square Enix support aren’t willing to offer a new download link or a refund.
This is standard practice for Digital River, the company which runs the E-commerce side of the Square Enix site. They’re the company that used to run EA’s digital download before Origin came along, and there used to be a download-within limit on their games as well. It’s an anti-digital activist’s worst nightmare.
Hopefully, this isn’t going to be an issue for much longer, as both Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII are in the Steam registry and are getting constant updates. This will likely mean you can download your game multiple times over as much time as you’d like.
