PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why
-
Really? We had a family game night last night with the purchased digital edition of Until Dawn just fine.
-
I was just able to get into Helldivers II on my PS5, so it's either coming back, or it's going to real shit

Been a minute (this was a nice reminder that I hadn't even booted up my PS5 in almost a year...), but I want to say it depends on if you have your console set as your primary console or not. Primary doesn't need to go online to authenticate. Secondary does.
Most people just have a single console so it is auto-primary. But people who bought a ps5 pro or who do super convoluted account sharing shenanigans always have trouble when auth servers are down.
Also, I think the PS+ IGC requires network to make sure you still have PS+?

It is basically just a web form these days (just google "xfinity outage" or whatever).
They cut you off after a certain number of outages per quarter. And they decide how much money you get per outage. So if your next door neighbor has never reported an outage and you report every single one, they'll get more for that one report.

Musk is currently reviewing it for DEI terms. Also Trump just fired the Sony board and declared himself president of Sony.
-
As of about an hour ago, it is back up
-
They gave out Wipeout and infamous for free out of that, I got a lot of play time out of those two games.

I don't disagree completely, but it's not as easy as you think. We're not talking about server in the sense of a headless game client that will coordinate a match, we're talking about a whole infrastructure of micro services and a web of communications and APIs just to get a basic authentication working. Not to mention possibly encrypted hard coded addresses to contact. That being said I 100% agree that before a game is abandoned a plan should be put in place to allow people to keep playing it, even if it's complicated and cumbersome to setup, or even if it's as crude as removing authentication entirely.

Sony’s uptime delusions crumbling faster than a PSN auth server. Fourteen hours of radio silence while charging for the privilege of digital serfdom? Masterstroke. Remember 2011’s month-long outage? At least we got free games as consolation—now they’ll just send thoughts and prayers via shareholder memos.
”Premium service” my ass. Paywalls for multiplayer, cloud saves held hostage, and a walled garden rotting from neglect. But hey, keep funding Zuck’s yacht repairs while your PS5 gathers dust. The 2011 apology tour is dead—2025’s mantra is ”fuck you, pay more.”
Reboot the servers, Jim. Or just admit the cloud was a screensaver all along.

I only have the one ps5. I did have a ps4 if that matters. Tried to play like 5 games this afternoon. All of them had a lock on the icon and when I tried to play it complained about PSN.
-
This would basically be my reply as well. Companies are in the game to make money, and setting up all this infrastructure, not to mention maintaining it, is NOT cheap.

It's Bohemia so like modern day Czech Republic
-
I know why, but I'll never tell.
-
PS4 may still be your primary console.
-
That’s a single player game. You need to be online to play it?
-
I’m wondering. I’ll look into that. Thanks for the heads up.

It's the sequel to the first one, and historical accuracy was like, at the center of of that one. Your character starts off the game not knowing how to read, because in medieval Europe, literacy was not widespread and the son of a blacksmith certainly wouldn't know how to read, so books you pick up in the game are total gibberish until you learn to read.
-
That was the case for me when I got my PS5, I had to manually set the PS5 to being the primary, even though I didn't even own the PS4 any more.
-
I’ve been playing so much kingdom come deliverance 2 that I didn’t even notice PSN being down.
If you like RPGs try it.
-
It's like the anti pirating software. Drm? Can't tell if I own it or not.
