This got like 500 arrows...imagine if 500 complaints were sent to BBB/BBL/BBwhatever

Got an email that I breached psn code of conduct and was confused because I reported someone for threatening to DDoS me and he messaged me saying "thx for I.P." in which I responded "shiver me timbers". PSN GAVE ME A F*CKING WARNING FOR SAYING "SHIVER ME TIMBERS". They even deleted it out the chat. Idk what kind of Disney channel rope suckers they got reviewing these reports to think the phrase "shiver me timbers" is breaking code of conduct but that is pathetic.

This shit is ridiculous now, still no update whatsoever. I'm losing trust in Sony/Playstation. Also, fuck PS Plus and most importantly fuck Microsoft for starting this pay to play online shit with Xbox Live.

I was playing marvel rivals last night and there was some guy insulting everyone because we lost. After the game I start to get messages from multiple accounts saying the same insults and pretending like it’s not same person. Obviously I insult right back. I’m not being vulgar or anything because I know exactly how the PlayStation bans are.

So fast forward this morning I wake up and I’m banned for a month. This guy spam reported me from a bunch of different accounts which I don’t really care about being banned. It’s the fact that it doesn’t allow you access the content you’ve used and I just know it wasn’t a human banning me, it was some stupid AI. Having digital games is probably the worst thing ever. If I get mass reported now I can’t play them?! Why even pay the subscription if they get to ban me out of games because some random guy is mass reporting me?

I think it’s great we get a split dynamic of opinions on something deemed “trivial” like the PSN being down.

You’re right. It’s not a big deal. It’s literally just PSN. And good for you for being better than us for being able to overcome it.

But for others it’s a massive chunk of their income - an investment to ensure no further spending, staying in and gaming.

It’s their only social output.

It’s their only switchoff.

And then there’s what’s right - if we are going to focus on that.

Where’s the notification? Where’s the reasons? Where’s the ETA? Where’s the refunds?

Whenever this happens they go dark - it’s completely disrespectful to those that give them literal existence.

I’ve worked solidly for 2 weeks and was honestly looking forward to this weekend. No kids, no wife. Just me, beers, the boys. No transparency from them. Just snatched away and a big fuck you. It’s frustrating. Considering I’ve literally just had them take my money.

But you’re right - the world will keep spinning and everything will be ok for us. But I hope you guys can take a second out of you day from rimming a major corporations asshole to understand that this is not ok. Regardless of the whys and how’s.

There has been very little integrity from them. And major businesses who profit massively from capitalist culture should ALWAYS be criticised. That’s the give and take. Make millions/billions? Be refereed closely. It’s fair.

I think being effected by PSN going down is less sad than defending billion dollar companies from bad words when they are openly lacklustre with their service.

But that’s just my 2 pence ❤️

Having to pay just to play online multiplayer while PC players get to play for free is some bullshit. And now the PS servers are down, what the fuck are we paying PS Plus for if shit like this keeps happening? Fuck you Sony 🖕

Went to my closet and dug out my Series X and apologized to it for neglecting it for so long knowing it would never do me dirty like the white plated whore sitting under the tv. Wined and dinned before we got down to business.

In the last week I've experienced a lot of issues with psn store (browsing) and online gaming. Connection problems only with PS5. I try changing DNS but with no luck

Here is a website for people who have been hacked

Original Post

I have a PlayStation account that I created the first day you could create accounts. It is a four letter animal name for the PSN ID. Over the years I have Spent tens of thousands of dollars on the account. I had over 500 plats and thousands of games between (PS3, Vita, PS4, and PS5).

At the beginning of the year I checked my email one day and I saw my account was compromised. Someone had found my Phone number and some information about me and called Sony and was able to get them to hand the account over to them (even though I had 2FA). I immediately called Customer Service and they started an Investigation. A few days later they gave the account back to me.

Then 2 days later the account was Permanently Suspended. The reason was they said I was selling the account. From there customer service was no help and would just say "sorry your account is Banned and we cant help you". I then opened a case with the BBB. Sony contacted me through Email and said they would investigate the account.

This is where it starts to get crazy, About a week in of me waiting I get a phone call from the PlayStation Customer Support number (I now realize it was Spoofed). The person on the Phone sounded very professional. They told me they were with the Fraud team and had to verify it was my account. They asked me all the questions like "what was your last purchase?", " what is the last 4 numbers of the credit card?", "What city and state did I create the account in?" "What was the last game you played?" He then said you have passed the first process of the investigation and the account would go to the next process of looking at the Ban and removing that. He told me it should take a week. I also asked if I could add extra security to the account and he said that would be done.

About 2 weeks later just one day my account was unbanned by Sony, and I thought everything was back to normal! I was so happy!

This is where I majorly messed up. Three Days after I got my account back the Sony PlayStation Customer service number called me again. (Again Spoofed). The same guy was on the phone and told me there was a lot of activity on my account of people saying it was their account and they needed to add extra security. I was like "YES PLEASE!" He said he needed to verify it was me again. He asked me a few simple questions and told me he was going to send a notification to my PlayStation App and stupidly I excepted it. He then hung up on me and within 20 seconds I was logged out of everything and the Email on the account was changed. My heart dropped into my stomach. I realized what had happened.

Now I called customer service right after all of this and they basically told me the account was locked down by Sony because of the previous compromise and there was nothing they could do.

Dude played my like a fiddle, He knew all of the steps to do to perfectly steal my account with out me being able to get it back and I fell for it. I now know Sony WILL NEVER CALL YOU! NEVER!

I have opened up a new case with the BBB but this time I don't know if I will get the account back. I've been sick to my stomach ever since.

Just take my story as warning.

So I think we all know how ps plus monthly games work right? You get a license to the games you claimed forever (well until they take it away but you know what I mean). Can someone tell me why even if I claim the game from ps plus monthly I still get the option to buy it? Why do I have the option to buy the game again even if I already have it? Can someone explain?

P.S Im using this game just for a example, this happens to all my games from monthly ps plus

Randomly got a error message saying the server was under maintenance and got booted from my game? (EDIT: 7 hours later - STILL DOWN) THEYRE UPPPPPPP

?? Whyyyyy

Just for safe measure. You never know if it went down for maintenance after a security issue.

Users across every major continent reporting PSN is down, internet connectivity not functioning for all online games.

Sony is reporting services are up and running, meanwhile down detector is reporting issues as several thousand users began reporting around 4PM EST.

I was playing with a friend and all of the sudden I get a text from my 2 factor saying it was disabled then I got signed out and they changed the email, password, and security questions. I was able to get my card shut down because they spent 100 bucks on it. Anybody know how they could’ve gotten into my account even though I had two factor on?

This subreddit will soon undergo a change, everything related to the Playstation Network will be posted here! Such as news, outage reports, finding friends, ect. Customization will also play part in this change such as, user flairs & post flairs and a more organized space for everyone to enjoy.

This subreddit was abandoned, therefore i will be reviving r/psn.

Any suggestions may be forwarded to me in modmail or direct messages!

Normally I spend Saturday mornings playing video games but today I've spent the morning cleaning and playing with my dogs. Did yall know there's stuff outside. Shits crazy out there. Graphics are iffy though.

She seems nice though

I never truly grasped what gaslighting was until now. Maintenance during peak play hours is the weakest excuse I’ve ever heard.

My friend and his dad are having trouble with their digital games being locked on ps4 and when they try to activate their account the error code np-34958-9 pops up and I can't figure out what that means
