I remember having some sort of censoring in the DMC5 US version. Light flare or some shit in the naked Lady scene

Everyday that passes, Sony is with another bullshit
 
I've been banned from destiny for a year now, haven't even gotten a response email from them.

Complain on twitter maybe someone with a name will retweet it and they might help.

Utterly bizarre that this can actually happen.

Outside of the Stellar Blade stuff, did you have a checkered past with them? Even so, I might consider speaking with an attorney if you can afford one. Sometimes you just need to show you're serious. Big companies can surprisingly roll over and play dead in situations like this.
 
That's the thing I did not share em I took shots of steller and the auto uploads on app flagged it and got me banned
I had 1321 games and all mostly paid for

Stay away from. Digital consoles
 
Putting them on blast via social media might be the only way to get a resolution.

Sadly it's typically the only way to get a response from real humans these days.
 
Sorry to hear that OP, hope you can do an appeal, if not it's time to check with an attorney since it's insane to lose access to all of your digital game library due to a dumb thing like this.

Also, this is one of the reasons I'm 95% physical on console, even if some of the niche games I'm into are more expensive and/or harder to find physically than digitally.

Talk to every manager from sony twitter to hermen hulst.
They can't swindle you of that much money and get away with it.

That's close to 700 full price games. I don't think I've played that many games in my entire life, let alone on just three consoles.

I don't watch TV I've pre ordered every single top game out and have 5 pending pre orders
5 years of psn sub and also just bought a ps pro and vr
 
Stupid that the system does not just age restrict your pictures rather than going directly to a ban of the user. The system knows the age rating of every game. So if it is 18+ it should be restrictive with uploads, flag them as 18+, making them only viewable by accounts that are not defined as kid accounts, if there is even such a thing, or just block uploads despite auto upload active?

One of the reasons I immediately turned off auto upload on all consoles..
I read a few years ago, that someone got a ban for GTA screenshots from a special kind of a club.
 
The fact that a corporation can ban anyone and take away thousands of dollars worth of games, dlc, etc etc that you paid for with your hard earned money is absolute bs. But what's even more bs is that said corporation does this stuff knowing the average joe dosen't have thousands of dollars for a lawyer meaning they know that they're going to get away with it.

I think its out of order that an official game on the system can get you banned for auto uploaded images. Seems incorrect. I hope you can get it sorted.

Stay away from digital only

The digital transition is inevitable. That's why the full attention of consumer protection needs to be focused on it. I'm surprised this is even legal in Europe.
 
Fuck me if this true. Digital future anyone?

You can be banned for absolutely anything and they have no obligation to return single cent to you.

Motherfuckers.

I've been permanently banned from PlayStation Network for using the official photo mode in Stellar Blade. Apparently, the automatic upload feature flagged my harmless screenshots as explicit content.
Despite multiple appeals, Sony has refused to lift the ban. This has resulted in the loss of over £40,000 worth of games and complete access to my PSN account.
It's truly absurd that a simple use of an in-game feature could lead to such severe consequences.

i dont believe u :P there is always more to that story :D
 
Go to twitter OP, getting attention over there is your only shot at getting it reversed. Make sure to tag playstation and warn people about the digital future and buying digital content on the PS Store.

I will say this though OP, while your perma ban seems unjustified (if things are really as you said), I cannot feel sorry for your £40,000 of lost content because you chose to buy all that shit digitally, you chose "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy" and I have zero sympathy for people who do that.

We can't make a judgment on this until the original picture is shared.

This seems extremely unlikely, they know all the weebs are taking photos of Eve so I doubt you could get banned permanently for this. I would think you'll be reinstated as you sound like an absolute cash cow to Sony, why would they want to ban you? It would be of no benefit to them.
