Since nobody seems to be covering this. Sony did a MAJOR fuckie wuckie.
Yesterday, during the time period of 7 to 8pm (Centar Yurop Time),
many PSN accounts got permanently banned completely out of nowhere with no reason given.
One thing to be noted is that during the incident there's a pattern
of what types of people were affected by this issue which includes:
-People living in Central Europe and Carolinas
-People that used protonmail
-People that had 2FA
During the whole incident, the r/psn jannies were sweeping the posts
reporting this issue up.
There has been no major gaming news outlet that has reported on this incident with
with an exception for
one recently written article on Verge, with most discussion about this happening
at the
reddit post (archive) and
REEEEset Era
Sony has yet to issue a statement about this, but from screenshots and reports in the reddit thread where other users contacted Sony's (retarded) support it is confirmed that it's a fuck up from their side, with some of them even saying that Sony support outright refused to take their calls or hung up.
Remember kids, fuck "digital gaming" and buy physical video games.
EDIT: Some of the accounts that got affected by this major ban wave have been unbanned.
