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.

    “Some who have received these suspensions are understandably distraught, as they may have spent a lot of money on digital PlayStation games that they no longer have access to.”

    Another reminder to buy physical, not digital…

      That only matters for singleplayer games. If it’s multiplayer then your physical copy usually has a key and an associated account which can get banned. Good luck with that.

      And there is no need to buy physical, just buy from https://gog.com and backup your installers. Better than physical media.

        This is the playstation subreddit. I don’t believe that playstation game copies have any such key, it would totally kill the efficiencies of disk production.

          Ah, didn’t notice the community. It makes more sense for consoles, true.
