Sorry feel like a zombie. Basically what saying is something has happened on sonys end there's way to many people getting banned to be a reason behind it.What?
Did they give any expination ?Oh thank God, my account issue was resolved. Not banned anymore.
Did Sony say anything?Oh thank God, my account issue was resolved. Not banned anymore.
I had issues too, it kept giving me an error when redeeming but it eventually fixed itself. Maybe it was just a server issue after all with the wonky bans.More than hacking, I'd (so far from what I've read) say this is just Sony's software incompetence.
It's a mystery really. Sony's first-party studios employ some frightfully talented programmers, like seriously S-tier. But I wouldn't trust Sony, the corporation, to program their way out of a paper bag. Why this is, I really can't explain it.
Edit: FWIW, I don't know whether this is related or not - I was redeeming the November PS+ games yesterday, and ran into a bunch of issues with authentication (I have 2FA enabled). Like, I was logged in at first. Then when redeeming a game I wasn't. Then I logged in again, and was able to redeem a game. Until it turns out I wasn't, and had to login yet again. This song and dance went on for quite some time, until I was able to redeem all the games. At least for me, the authentication servers were wonky yesterday.
Did they give any expination ?
None. Not even an email.Did Sony say anything?
Typical Sony.None. Not even an email.
Explain why I was permabanned with no notification or warning and now am not with no notification.They do not ban paying members at random; they have most likely hacked or done something wrong and are lying about it. Sony wouldn't just ban people and lose money considering all they care about is money.
Well one thing's for sure, won't be buying anything digital in the future.Typical Sony.
Issue? What issue!
Support ticket closed, let's play some Spiderman, y'all!
Damn, but glad it was solved for you!
When I got my PS5 (March 2021, even though I had preordered in August 2020, but such is life living in Finland) the console broke down in like less than an hour. I'm not sure of the exact time, but I stopped getting notifications for downloads being complete soon after I finished setting up the device and left home, when I came back the thing refused to turn back on.Sony customer support is the worst.
Maybe if you didn't put Ni before it and er after it you would of been ok. /si said gg 5 times and now im banned
Did you give shitty tips? haha. Now they can't skip too many orders. They can't be as choosy. So they probably just ban the cheapskates.I was banned by doordash, to this day they still won't tell me why, other than I violated thier terms. I guess ordering food is a violation.then, lol.
The other bizarre aspect of the "Support" response there. Is that their first response, is to recommend you set up a new PSN account!? So if you've just been banned for being naughty. So naughty in fact, that they cant even tell you how bad you were. But they want you back on the service again, just as a new user.... lolNot mine, but god damn "we can't provide any more information" lol
But but... it's the coNveniEnCE!Imagine having a big library of digital only games. ...sorry! Digital only "licenses"!
As far as conspiracy theories go, congrats, that's way up there. The demo was killed way back (like, reeeally way back), why would the repercussions be now?I wonder if it has anything to do with downloading P.T. on ps4 (after konami shut down the demo).
Like you would leave your digital library behind to start a new account like that lmao.The other bizarre aspect of the "Support" response there.

It's kid's bubble for free speach, as soon as they get out of it, they feel they did nothing wrong.It's always "no reason," then we later find out, there's always a reason.
hmm, you should ask the doordash subreddit. Did you do those double dashes?Nah I'm a pretty good tipper, I have no idea why they decided I wasn't worthy. But the firewall not saying why was super annoying.
No it doesn't.The number of people reporting it show it’s not what you’re joking about.
Yes, I scanned a QR code to sign in. It came up on my PS5 though. So someone would have put the functionality into my PS5 OS.Sounds like you might've been phished. Did you scan a QR code?
Would be pretty disaterous if some punk managed to forge and implement a counterfeit malicious QR code in their systems.
Fucking Sony customer service bots.Not mine, but god damn "we can't provide any more information" lol
I don't use the PS App. Is it a Web app or a mobile OS app? I don't have knowledge about the internal security of the PS5. The QR code might've been sent/transmitted to your device and not be local.Yes, I scanned a QR code to sign in. It came up on my PS5 though.

Edit. Also that QR code went to my official PS App on my phone.
It's an iPhone app in my case.I don't use the PS App. Is it a Web app or a mobile OS app? I don't have knowledge about the internal security of the PS5. The QR code might've been sent/transmitted to your device and not be local.
FYI, there's a new kind of phishing that's emerging as of recent called Quisphing (QR codes).
that happened to me with my iTunes account last summer, they wouldn’t even tell me why I was banned it took weeks and eventually emailing Tim Cook to get assistance where they overturned itThe other bizarre aspect of the "Support" response there.

Sony customer support is the worst. Hope they get sued to oblivion. This is class action lawsuit worthy.
Lets see how you would react if you get your account with thousands of dollars of purchases get banned without any information.Bit of an overreaction wouldn’t you say
N*Sync?

You see, there's the problem right there. You were playing Fortnite. They didn't like that. But seriously, haven't checked my account in a couple months...maybe I should or was this just active accounts?Seems to be happening to a lot of people. I was just playing Fortnite, scared to turn my system back on.

This is not a Sony exclusive problem, but I wouldn't consider being without working hardware for nearly two weeks a great experience. These scenarios have pushed me to make large electronic purchases at brick and morter stores. Love em or hate em, it's nice to be able drive to a best buy and leave with a replacement.When I got my PS5 (March 2021, even though I had preordered in August 2020, but such is life living in Finland) the console broke down in like less than an hour.

Called customer support, the representative had me go a checklist (which I already had, but I humored him at any rate), after which he emailed me a PDF to print on a parcel. Did so, shipped the console to France (at no cost, it's included with the shipping information) for repairs, less than two weeks later I receive a new console (the S/N is different so I think this must be the case) and have been happy as a clam since.
Now this is about hardware support, not software support, but as far as the hardware goes, my experience was great. I mean, other than not having a defective console in the first place, but ehh, shit happens especially with early production runs.
I would have liked to do the same, but that's not what was available here in .fi. They (a largely online retailer, although they have a few retail locations as well) just redirect me to Sony support. This may very well have been due to supply constraints though, which very much were a thing in early 2021. And well beyond that, as we all know. Had I waited for a new unit from them, I would have waited far longer than two weeks.This is not a Sony exclusive problem, but I wouldn't consider being without working hardware for nearly two weeks a great experience.

It is true that it is all relative. Ps5's were hard to come by for quite awhile.I would have liked to do the same, but that's not what was available here in .fi.
