PlayStation accounts are being ‘permanently suspended’ and no one knows why
www.theverge.com
Sony has suddenly handed out a lot of unexpected bans.

Tried to log in and my account is permanently suspended. I don’t do anything close to breaking terms of service and have no clue why this is happening. Found this article and apparently it’s not just me. Fingers crossed we get a solution quickly.

    You can still get disc versions of the PS5 and most recent Xbox, and the Switch has cartridge options for most games worth a damn so idk wtf you’re talking about.

    I don’t consider the steamdeck a console. There are multiple options to install there anyway.

        No, disc games can be played offline, the main issue is that without PSN you will be stuck in the unplayable buggy mess that most current games are on release day.

          Never mind the fact that most, if not all, physical games these days require a download of some sort to fully function. Sometimes even to play the game at all.

              That would depend on how you notice it. If by sheer luck you notice through something like the Playstation app on your phone and make sure you turn the console on offline they will still work.

                Havent had the luck, i saw it as i finished no mans sky.

                Getting more old and progressing to being a casuall gamer so much that some titles im enjoying just now, i see that ill either sell the ps5 for a pc or steam deck. I guess this was my lesson.

        Honestly don’t know. I’m still on the PS3 which could download updates for disc games without being logged into anywhere. If that’s an issue now, it’s a reason to avoid Sony consoles altogether. I skipped the PS4 and have been waiting for enough worthy PS5-only titles to come out before purchasing, but if that’s a problem now then I’ll just stay out of that mess.

        edit: wouldn’t be missing much, Ghost of Tsushima is the only title I can think of that I’m interested in that hasn’t made its way over to PC or planned to.

        edit2: nvm, apparently there is a planned date of 2024-2025, I can wait
