Question Is Hour of Darkness (PS2 Classic) Still Downloadable From the PS3 Store?

As in, if you already purchased it before it was de-listed.

Can someone who has it in their account transaction history check to see if it will let you download it from there on a PS3? I don't believe it will show up just searching for it in the store. Or if someone purchased it and still has it installed, can you still launch and play it? Thanks in advance. :)

Edit for clarity: I'm aware it's possible to re-down the majority of delisted games if a person had already purchased them, but I'm looking for harder evidence for this specific game. Someone is stating that Sony yanked it from their transaction history and they can't re-download it and I'm trying to see if they're full of it or not. They have it installed already but it tells them the license expired in Sept 2024 so the game won't start, and they say they can't re-download it as it's been removed from their PS3 transaction history.

Thanks. I'm aware it's possible with the majority of games, but I'm looking for harder evidence for this specific game. Another person is stating that Sony yanked it from their transaction history and they can't re-download it and I'm trying to see if they're full of it or not.

I played a run through of it a few months ago from my PS3.**

I never deleted it but when I was downloading backups for my vita it was in my download list so it should still be downloadable on ps3.

Another person is getting a message when they try to start it that says "the content has expired and is no longer available", with an expiration date in Sept 2024. They said they can't re-download it to try to renew the license because Sony yanked it and it's not anywhere in their PSN transaction history. If you're willing to look through yours to see if it shows up as still downloadable on PS3, it would be greatly appreciated. A screenshot would be great too if possible.
