    Inability to Download Game Despite Ownership

    *ahem*

    Greetings Forum World,

    My issue is simple: I cannot download a game despite purchasing it on this account. (Skyrim Remastered)

    Context: I recently reminisced about hacking away at dungeon enemies, so as any right minded individual would do, I went to download Skyrim.

    Unfortunately, I found that I no longer owned the game? Searching it in the store only offers me the option of re-purchasing it again.

    Extra: I believe that I downloaded this game around the the time of release, probably mid December of 2016.

    I hope someone can aid me in my time of need.

    :)

    Yes, it simply isn't in the "ready to be installed" tab, despite my ownership of the game, and wants me to purchase it again.

    Ok, by that knowledge I never changed regions (countries), so what would affect the inability to download the game?

    Unable to launch or uninstall Skyrim Special Edition.

    So I was able to take ownership of the files and delete the Skyrim files, but now when I try to download skyrim again, it does not download and gets stuck at 0% with a 0b/s download speed, despite my connection to the internet.

    A question.. then some ranting.. read if you like

    [quote user="udubdave"]Honestly, to me, the online requirement isn't a big deal. I'm online all the time too. It's the inability to freely swap games with friends, the inability to rent games, the inability to trade in games without any restrictions.[/quote]

    Kind of feels like you would be playing on a PC.. they have been dealing with it for years...

    one thing I did notice.. the wording PS4 used on trading... "Disc" based games.... I bet by 2014-2015 all games will be digital download only...

    Thanks for the reply! My main issue at the moment is the inability to re-download the game as it's not showing up on download history when I check it on the new console.

    Thanks again for replying though!
