What if you downloaded an old Steam favorite, only for the game to inform you that it had "expired" in the intervening years? That's exactly the situation that some PlayStation players faced this week when they sat down to play the original Final Fantasy VI on their PS3 consoles, only to find that those versions no longer worked.
To illustrate the problem, Twitter user Christopher Foose posted an image of his Chrono Cross download to social media, which apparently expired all the way back in 12/31/1969. As far as we can tell, this seems to be a technical shortcoming rather than intended behavior, as those sorts of dates on video game consoles are usually the result of a glitch. It's also worth noting that this issue only seems to happen if you re-download these games, too.
