Sarcasm, its a clusterfuck, that would be a huge game on their biggest platform for sales.

 

[ManaByte]

It's now been down for 13 hours.

PatheticStation 5

yet the only station with physical games still!

I don’t give a shit about things it can still do when it can’t do what I need it to do right now.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

If this ends up lasting a week or more like the 2011 outage, can't Sony get sued by 3rd party publishers or something for revenue loss?

 

[lh032]

Please at least reopen the PSN network for like 10 min for me to deactivate my offline license on my base ps5 first.......

 

[gooner4life_uk]

clearly been hacked, if it was an attack they would have been able to take steps to restore service in a couple of hours max, this is something more sinister.

 

[DryvBy]

You're confusing digital with cloud.

Nope. I have two systems so my Pro with all my good games installed doesn't work. It needs to be online to play games. I console share with my base PS5.

Edit: mine is back online fyi

Edit 2: nevermind some services are up (screenshots uploaded) but my Pro is still unable to play digital games.

 

[Moridianae]

I'd imagine the Helldiver developers are really upset. They were clearly cooking up something fun for the 1 year anniversary and now people can't join the fun.

 

[unlurkified]

Happy to see that I didn’t turn off the default DRM-like setting where every game you play has to verify its license with PSN to open and that PSN has to be up to turn off the setting so the entire console is a brick for me right now .

Huh? Sounds like you're game sharing with someone. Your console must be set to a primary to play games offline. If you're game sharing with someone, their console is the primary.

Didn’t they say team lizard hacked them?

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

What a fucking joke.

That was fake a meme post.

The future is digital.

 

[ArtHands]

They don't have Astro Bot on other platforms, I am playing that now.

I am sorry its the only game you can play

 

[FeralEcho]

PissStation 5.

 

[ManaByte]

Sony is going to give everyone 500 PS star points as the apology.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

Just buy PC guys.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

no

 

[SenkiDala]

Maybe some people understand these things happen and don't feel the need to throw a temper tantrum every 5 minutes.

There's a difference between knowing that those things happens, not giving a fuck (like me), and making it a good thing. "Oh it must be for a very cool feature coming soon", come on.

 

[dreamstation]

Just buy PC guys.

Yea I'm sure everyone would prefer that but you're talking about a $4.5k+ AUD purchase for a good PC right now, if you can find stock of CPU/GPU. Compare that to $799 PS5.

 

[Mr Moose]

I am sorry its the only game you can play

Do you think all other games need online to play?

 

[MoreJRPG]

That brand new disc drive you just bought for $200 off scalpers? You can’t even use it, sorry!

 

[d00msday]

Wow still down. Had a whole nights sleep and it's still not back up!

 

[WhereIzJP]

Can get a pre-built under 1500

PC/ physical media/ single player dick wavers can fuck right off and so can Sony.

 

[lh032]

i pray nvidia increase those gpu price even further.
lets hope the 60 series priced at least 6k above.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Yeah the shit has def hit the fan. You can play f2p games without PS+ right? Cause my sub is up this month and dont want to renew, but I would like to continue to play the PoE2 beta at least.

 

[Horseganador]

They neither fix it nor give explanations, it took Sony a long time to screw up.

 

[RayBoy]

The only man can fix this:

BRING HIM BACK!!!

Yeah, you don’t need PS+ of PoE2 at the moment. Cancel that sub. lol.

I pray you can play your online games again soon brother!

 

[Traxtech]

My one night off and I can't even play the wilds beta, this blows

 

[lh032]

I pray you can play your online games again soon brother!

i dont play online games, dumbass me forgot to activate the license on my ps5 pro /facepalm
im locked out of all games currently.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

Better get your reps straight SONY execs.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Didn’t they say team lizard hacked them?

Lizard league i heard

 

[ZehDon]

Hopefully Sony are just woefully incompetent at running their online infrastructure, and they're not still woefully incompetent at digital security leading to a new massive hack.

 

[Z O N E]

10 hours and nothing from PlayStation since the original post.

The least they could do is acknowledge this lengthy downtime for everyone as I feel like the silence is probably more annoying now than the service being down.

 

[DryvBy]

Ok here's a fun one. I popped in Rise of Ronin but apparently a dlc won't let me play my save.

Digital content flat out sucks. You corporate cucks who worship things going digital are going to be crippled if or when your favorite store dies.

 

[Mr Moose]

Go into the network settings and select offline.
Edit: Connect to the internet off.

 

[lh032]

Go into the network settings and select offline.

i cant, i have to activate it before the server is down.it wont let me to do so.

This is the messsage i get when i try to select offline under "console sharing and offline play"

"Cant use this content. Cant connect to the server to verify your license. Wait a while and then try again.
If you enable "console sharing and offline play" on this PS5, you can use your content even when the server isnt available. To enable this setting, select "settings" > "user and accounts" > "other""

 

[ManaByte]

The 2011 hack lasted for 7 hours before Sony admitted to it. This is now twice as long.
