It's down in EU too.

for about 8 hours!

I just checked and for some reason my PS5 just had a black screen frozen.
I thought it broke but I just had to restart it and now it said system software has an error.
Idk if that’s got anything to do with this.

It works again

they prepare more ads on dashboard

No problems here in the Netherlands, everything is up and running😊

Who was around for the PS3 one? It was brutal

Transparency about the issue (that we won't get) and clarity over not being able to play certain games (also probably not) would be nice.

Aka CYBERATTACK

It's running fine for me just played a round of helldivers2 I assume it's fixed

I am a pc gamer these days and was warning about this for a while, now that games like god of war ragnarok /horizon zero dawn remastered require a psn sign in to play single player campaign, does anyone think this was a good idea or "cmon guys you already have to login to steam so whats the issue with another login ?" , well imagine you get a "verifying licenses message after paying 60$ for your games and waiting to play until the server is back, utter madness
.
The first time this happened to me was the rockstar launcher for rdr2 which I purchased legitimately, was having server issues or some crap that prevented me from logging in, I became a pirate that day 4 years back and played rdr2 when the legit copy did not work for hours.
Honestly ill just admit it today lol, ive been a pirate for the last 4 years, I own an external hard drives of 20tb each which holds around 1500 cracked games, basically I own 95% of all the games I ever wanted on this 20tb external hard drive, what I additionally did is get 5 portable external drives of 4tb each, so for 20tb of external portable ssd, I have made a copy of all my games as well in case my external hard drives ever dies + much higher speeds with ssd, so have a 2nd copy of 1500 games, the rate at which I finish my games is around 75 games in 1 year, so it will take me about 20 years to finish the 1500 games I have, probably dont need to buy games for a while which I still occasionally do , this was the exact kind of scenario I did this for, absolutely no login needed, 99% of the cracked games work without any tweaking.

It sucks that people that paid for ragnarok for example will have more issues that a pirate, insanity that I will never willingly accept, straight up piracy or ideally GOG games for the win, which is one company I absolutely support , no DRM crap and you get the actual games files, even sony put their main games like god of war 2018, horizon zero dawn, days gone, uncharted collection all on GOG, and I supported them by buying each of them, clearly sony is taking a different route now with this mandatory PC login crap, im sure the future games wont come on GOG as well, just horrible decisions they have been making lately, not sure what's up.

Using Chiaki on my steam deck, it works fine lol

Give it time it will come back on I didn't know it was down been working too much.

Why is Anonymous attacking Sony again for??
Dang, was not able to download any New demos.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
