Needs a remaster for PS5.

I mean, this but unironically.
Seriously, GAF has a boner for blaming the wrong people. Hopefully this is a wake up call for Nsihino to spend more resources on their platform infrastructure.

Why are people being so literal about Sony being radio silence?

I'm not sure what other communication they can do until they completely fix the issue (or find out what's the actual problem).

Are you seriously trying to defend them not saying anything for 19 hours?

 

[TehGoomba7s]

Being down for a couple hours isn’t remotely the same as a massive hack that takes a service off for days at a time.

There has been one in 2011, none since then. Both PSN and XBL have had numerous 12+ hours downtimes over the past decade.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Its the weekend and super bowl sunday. Might as well wait till Monday.

 

[Aenima]

wait, they were hacked again?

No one knows. Unless the hackers themselves claim they did it or Sony confirms it, its just especulation. Considering the time it has been down, an attack to the PSN looks like the most likelly scenario. That or extreme incompetence. Sony themselves are losing alot of money as well as the PS Store is not working.

 

[mitch1971]

Stuff like this makes me so happy I went to pc last year. Maybe I should sell my ps5

Please do.

There are some people who would defend Sony even if Totoki and Hulst shit on their front door and spray-paint dicks all around their house.

Are you expecting the same exact response as "we're still working on it!" every hour? If we find out later that, once again, user data is at a great risk of being compromised with them not saying anything, sure. But I don't see the need for being so reactionary right now.
More than anything, I would complain that they don't spend more resources across these departments as it's clearly showing.

The update page could be a bit more descriptive or at least offer timed updates that they're still working on if there's an ETA on the fix.

Right now the only thing it says is that everything is down and that the downtime started 7PM, that's all.

just came back from the gym and this shit keeps going? no word from SONY either? what a fucking embarrassment.

 

[Topher]

Same for Nintendo and Microsoft. Defenders turn into attackers and vice versa when this shit happens. This has all played out before.

I say just make fun of all these companies

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

It's ok, they have sold bunches of consoles, everyone loves this downtime

 

[Last Hearth]

Seriously, still down?

 

[DiscoDave]

Wasn't able to play single player games but can now as I'm now able to restore the license on a game that I was not able to earlier.

It's rule number one for support to be informative, otherwise you get angry customers and it's unbelievable to give no updates in 17 odd hours The only excuse would be if there has been a hack, as they'd have to be careful to get the right information first.

 

[ManaByte]

Seriously, still down?

I rebooted my Pro. It logged me in, but errors everywhere. Can’t load anything and I’m on 1gig internet.

 

[MaKTaiL]

Imagine if all players accounts were wiped after this attack. Would this be the biggest lawsuit in the century?

 

[ReBurn]

People are rushing to stores to buy more consoles for support in this time of need.

 

[tTHANOSs]

Well psn now acknowledges that I'm online and I can connect to my portal. But the trophies i got last night haven't synced yet

 

[ReBurn]

They probably have a backup somewhere.

 

[ManaByte]

Online play is still down. Can’t connect to any game. Just tried MH beta and COD.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

lol typical Sony

 

[Sweden85]

Its on the way up..

 

[Mr Moose]

*sigh* Fine, I'll go and plug the cable back in, brb.

 

[MaKTaiL]

They probably have a backup somewhere.

I know, I'm just thinking how complex and terrible this would be.

 

[readonly]

Was unable to download MHW beta but just now I was able to start the download and it's progressing.

 

[fart town usa]

Well psn now acknowledges that I'm online and I can connect to my portal.

Same, I just noticed that too, I'm on the portal as well. I can see my buddy is playing CP2077.

 

[ManaByte]

just got on Fortnite.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

Elon for to them! He's shutting everything down PSN as well as other three letters agencies!

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Mr Moose]

You're welcome.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

If this is another hacking incident I really hope you guys didn’t link your steam account to your psn…

I remember people warning people not to do it for this very reason

 

[Traxtech]

Can't even play my witcher 3 save because it can't verify me owning the expansions.

 

[LukeAJN]

Sure am glad I went physical this generation

 

[nial]

BTW, are streaming video platforms completely linked to PSN?

 

[Hookshot]

Glad to see it’s back up

 

[Sebastian1295]

I respect the hustle and i love when companies do stuff like this for fun lol.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Might be a good idea to set the primary console if you hadn't... just in case it goes down again.

 

[TehGoomba7s]

Mine has been like this all day and playable for Destiny 2 at least, not sure if it's still cause I use different DNS settings but happy to share if it helps anyone else.

They’re all run by idiots.

For the prayers

[Sebastian1295]

I'm checking the ps5 reddit and people are saying they're online getting into matches. Can't confirm this myself though.

 

[mayham2199]

Yes I’ve noticed some stuff is working.

 

[diffusionx]

just got on Fortnite.

Sorry to hear that
