Are you sure you have access to the link? If I try to access the link while I'm signed in to Dropbox, I get the same error message that you're seeing.

Hey MichaelPreiss - sorry to hear about this.
Could you clear your browser's cache or try another browser and let us know if you still get the same results?
If you do, may I ask if you're copying and pasting the link from another platform or app perhaps?
A screenshot of the exact error you're getting would also help!

the link is shared with anyone who pays for the game. I paid my money. everyone else can easily download the game through this exact link
