Hacking Rumor: Vita shutting down console store

[SekiTimewalker]

So, if the console store does shut down, will PKGj still work?

Edit: New info from an email I just got.

Most likely yes.

The licenses with nonpdrm are generic and all the same.

Not just Vita, also PSP and PS3 games will no longer be sold.

Perfect. I have several on physical, but no idea how to rip them, haha. And I have an SD card taking up the spot.

Very annoying, but I suppose it has been a very long time. Nearly 10 years for Vita, far more for PSP.

The key thing to look for is if/when downloading previously bought software goes offline. Just losing the ability to purchase won't change anything.

Now in the Ps Store you will find only the Ps4 & 5 games,at least on the Ps App!

The way this is worded sounds like it's already down, I just tried and I downloaded a PSP iso from *** ******, it still works right now.

There are rumors around that they might not allow purchased software downloads either. Which is a nasty, nasty move I have like 300~€ of vita games on the store, I hope they don't go trough with that.

That is definitely my fear.

I believe this is relevant to PS4 owners since Sony will probably shut down their store one day too.

Meant to post this in the other thread.

There are devs still getting their Vita SDKs. They'd be very annoyed if Sony pulled this after charging them for the kits

I've been downloading games from PKGj recently thinking it might stop working soon, lets hope it'll be fine.

 

[godreborn]

Most likely it will, but pkgj uses the same links as the official psn.

@godreborn ,also NoPayStation and NPS Browser use the same links?

This simply cannot happen. The uproar would be deafening and if there would be none then it would only mean we as consumers suck and add a stamp to my position on digital only. When people get all giddy and talk about how digital is so great, digital is the future, physical media is obsolete, etc. I just have to laugh at what absolutely oblivious fools they are as they celebrate the fact that unbeknownst to them they are having the privilege of ownership stripped from them slowly but surely.

If I pay for something, it should be mine forever. Period. If Sony should disallow the downloads of games we have already purchased on their stores, they should be hit the biggest class action lawsuit ever seen. If they indeed go that route, people simply HAVE to fight.

Digital just means you pay someone to allow you to borrow something, you new jacks never seem to get this and always moan and wail when the real owners asks for his toy back.

That's pretty bad...I've bought a new battery to use my PS Vita again and this rumor comes. The battery will arrive in June because of Covid, so one month left to download all bought games
