The bans are being reverted according to Reddit users and one gaffer himself got his account back already.

This is so sad for those who rushed to sh1t on them and defend the corp's reply telling them that they cannot disclose why they banned (which is illegal since it is private data belonging to the customers).

Looks like the banned gamers getting unbanned were right. It was some kind of tech fuck up. Not guilty gamers pretending to be honest.
It's a Sony Playstation thing, I've nothing personal but it's worth making a choice to purchase when it's worth it, that's the best security tip for spending money.

Use this as ammo to write your congressmen and senators. If we can get this to snowball in one state, we might get some fucking rights to our digital ownership. Use the discovery shows toom

I really hope that the EU Commission will strongly advocate for digital ownership rights in games, movies, and TV in the coming years as it's messed up to lose access to the content you've bought, even if it's only temporary.
They also need to address the downright lousy refund policy that's implemented on PSN, like providing customers with the industry standard 2-hour of playtime or 2-week window for refunds since the purchase was made.
I'm frustrated with the current state of the digital landscape within these walled gardens, and while I'm 95% physical nowadays on the platforms I currently engage the most with (Switch and PS5), things do need to change.

Ehhh no they can't. They can try, but they have to mention why. At least in EU.

Tell me. How do you download offline? As soon as you download a game, you get a license on your profile. Ban = Bye bye license access and thus no access to offline content.

Clearly shows what the future of all digital can look like. An "accident" and you lose every access to stuff you aid for! Welcome to the future of never owning a fucking thing you bust your ass to pay for. Fuck anyone who thinks this is the future we need.

It begs the question: why did this "accident" happen in the first place. And I sure as hell hope I don't see praise for Sony unbanning these accounts, because it shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Wait until AI gets ahold of more processes. AI decides you don't need access to your games anymore and no humans are able to figure out why or how to reverse the change.
Perfect plot for Terminator 9.
