So 4 days extra? When you subtract the day that was lost

Sony math...

Ok?

2011 PlayStation Network outage - Wikipedia

That's not evidence of yesterday's downtime being a hack and loss of personal details.

I would learn to read then, i never said that.

[RoboFu]

Oh wow so generous !!

 

[Kabelly]

Sony fans really expecting a gummy from them or something ?

Your online games were down for a day. Couldn't you have played Horizon Zero Dawn in the meantime?

 

[Evolved1]

lol what scumbags

 

[TheChumpNation]

Not that I care, but that's a rather hilarious "compensation". Something everyone was going to pay for anyways.

Insert jokes about enshittification, late stage capitalism, etc.

 

[Tajaz2426]

Jokes on you bitches, I’ve never had Plus or any other monthly subscriptions. Don’t pay for shit that should be free for multiplayer.

 

[SJRB]

I demand 50 free games and at least 100 days of free PS Plus because my Friday night was slightly inconvenienced.

Yes, play some damn single player games. Some of you expecting free games or something? You are all part of the problem of modern gaming society. Some of these posts... jump off a bridge or something. One day... jesus, what a disaster, end of the world. Fucking cry babies.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Well I mean it isn’t nothing I guess. That’s like $50+ million in credits based on ~47 million ps plus players or 1/8th quoted spend of Concord in credits.

I don't look at is as them "crediting $50+ million" to players. I see it as delaying their fee collection by five days for the next cycle. This isn't costing Sony anything to do.

 

[dotnotbot]

Few extra days are actually a disservice for folks who extend their membership during black friday discounts. These discounts are usually for inactive users, now your sub will run out after the sale ends and you will miss the discount. Well played Sony.

 

[Hookshot]

Should have been 5 days refunded. 5 days extra means fuck all to anybody who has to buy another year early so they can still make use of things like Black Friday sales.

Maybe that’s their plan, they know most in that situation won’t cancel their auto renews to make use of these 5 days yet they get to look like they were being generous.

Holy shit. Sony played us like a fiddle...

 

[Moses85]

For PSN? Nah. Look at the profit margins.

Margin for whom?

 

[cash_longfellow]

What about the people who don’t have your overpriced sub service anymore and couldn’t even access their single player digital games?

 

[Fake]

So, the 'drama' actually works?

 

[Skifi28]

What about the people who don’t have your overpriced sub service anymore and couldn’t even access their single player digital games?

I was playing single player digital games all day. I've also played them in the past when my internet connection was down. How are you locked from your digital games? I don't believe there's an always online requirement for them.

 

[Rob_27]

Bugger that extra 5 days will push me past the early Feb PS+ deals. Grrr.

 

[K' Dash]

I don't have PS+ and I could not play MY games during the outage, what the fuck is this bullshit?

 

[Unknown?]

So 4 days extra? When you subtract the day that was lost

Those of us who didn't log in that day get the full five days extra. ^_^

 

[RCU005]

Just 5 days and no free games this time?

This was their chance to put Concord automatically in everyone's library.

 

[iHaunter]

So 4 days extra? When you subtract the day that was lost

Yes, that's how math works.

 

[fersnake]

5 hole days? here we go!!!

 

[V1LÆM]

i never even noticed it was down

 

[ANIMAL1975]

I'm from the time when multiplayer was free, and we subbed plus for the free games and discounts _ has a personal choice...
Now we have to pay a lot of money for this shit if we wont to play online the games we buy (thanks Microsoft for being the pioneers of this shit practice in gaming), so as paying clients of the service we should be informed about why it went down, and what will be done with our money to prevent it from happening again.

I was about to post this lol. RIP Black Friday sales.

 

[poodaddy]

The outage didn't affect me whatsoever, I just haven't turned a console on in a bit, so I'll take the free shit with a smile on my face.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Have they added the 5 days already?

 

[Topher]

Can I trade those days in for Helldivers 2 super credits?

 

[Portugeezer]

If we take down PSN every 5 days we'll never have to pay for online gaming again! Let's go, people!

 

[NickFire]

Should be at least a full week. An extra Tuesday does not make up for a lost Friday night

 

[Putonahappyface]

 

[adamsapple]

A permanent service outage would have been preferable.

 

[neocycle]

Have they added the 5 days already?

No. Probably not on a sunday.

 

[Alebrije]

Should be a month at least.

 

[nnytk]

So that's like 1 euro value based on the 9 euro subscription and one day out of those 5 accounting for the day lost.

Considering the price of games and GaaS mtx, this seems like a slap in the face to me.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Would you have rather them pro-rate a refund for the day it was down?

What could your expectations for this POSSIBLY be and why does anyone deserve "something" for the service being down?

 

[Trogdor1123]

Maybe a silly question but is anyone noticing that licenses are gone? I had all of the dark souls games… and they are just, gone now?

I have access to 2 still but not 1 or 3. Says I need to buy again? Maybe I’m remembering wrong and I had the physical copies? But I’ve had my digital ps5 since launch.

I’m sure I’m just confused? Can i look up the date of the last time I played each some how?

Edit: I’m nearly certain I’m just remembering it wrong.

 

[Shadowstar39]

There was an outage? Too busy playing kcd2... And don't play multiplayer anymore.

 

[cash_longfellow]

I was playing single player digital games all day. I've also played them in the past when my internet connection was down. How are you locked from your digital games? I don't believe there's an always online requirement for them.

I’ve never been locked out before when an outage happened. This time I was though for some reason.

Revalidate your licenses.

Go to settings...sorry I am lazy
