Not this one. This seems like an appeal reply. I want to see the one OP mentions here:



It seems like there was another email that apparently detailed the ban reason. OP has been dodging a lot of fair questions in this thread, it might all start making sense soon lmao.

Ah...ok. Yeah, he has left out a lot of info. Suddenly there are four different consoles tied to his account, one of which was sold, and he says Sony may be trying to protect his account. That would seem to be a huge missing piece of this puzzle that he posted on X, but decided not to share here.

Someone tell his sister to get her console back, asap.

You can believe what you want.
I'm telling you what he said he was going to do.
It isn't about what I believe, it is about what is legal, unless we are to redefine the role of government in our society and economy. This is getting too close to political discourse, so I'm going to drop it.

It's what the POTUS elect said that he would do.

I hope he does but yeah lets not get into it.

I've been told something about been compromised now I believe hacked

I explain that I got explicit content email and denied appeal they said that maybe a mistake
So not banned for photo screens

So to help me move forward ive to send a serial number due to been compromised as it stands
 
Just a heads up, ive never heard of an actual ban on the account due to uploading more spicy pics. Ive know 1 player (from discord sharing nsfw shots), and he said he got hit but it was purely temp suspension of all COMMUNICATION stuff.

So he couldnt talk to anyone, send messages, upload, etc. for 2 weeks. Losing access to your entire account? I dunno.......

There was one guy here, maybe it was the other place I can’t remember but they got temp suspension because they took a photo of one of the nude statues in Assassin Creed Odyssey and shared it in a group.

So it’s definitely possible but, a permanent ban when you’re just automatically uploading and nobody else sees it, I find that unlikely because we’d hear about this more often because there’s probably loads of pervs out there with plenty of screenshots of these type from many different games.

This whole thing is a mess. Relying on others to be able to have access to your media collection, games/movies and what not.

Another reason why PC is king. There's always a way to circumvent DRM if something goes wrong, so at least you can never lose your single player games. And there's GOG, once you buy it it's your's forever as long as you still use an operating system that's compatible with it. And even that can be circumvented (using emulation, abstract layers, etc).

I haven't bought a console since the Wii/360 days. I can still play all the games offline, even the ones i have on XBOX Arcade (which were digital only). So how is gaming on consoles today? Are games really tethered to an online account out of your control?

Zero control over your library, waiting for patches that improve fps or visuals that may never come, paying for online, overpriced games, trash upscaling solutions, no control over your hardware.

I really don't understand how console bros do it. I know consoles are convenient but time to move on seriously. Even kids these days build gaming PCs.

So this has nothing to do with you uploading pics from Stellar Blade at all. lol...wow

And your twitter is public. If you don't want folks posting your tweets then make it private. You don't get to dictate how folks use publicly accessible information on the internet.

Sorry OP but many people has declared your case as a fake.

Took 14 pages to get to the bottom of this and turns out it has nothing to do with what the OP originally said. So the "many people" here questioning the OP were correct.

I’m glad you’re getting somewhere.

But everyone was right to think there was more to this that you left out, and selling consoles without deactivating is something you have learned the hard way to not do. You wipe that shit until it’s brand new.

As for the Twitter thing, mods may honour your wishes as a courtesy but the blunt truth is that when you post into the public space then it’s open for anyone to see and screenshot without permission. If it’s a locked down account then that’s a different discussion.

That doesn't mean it's fake. Just because OP is unable to articulate answers to the arbitrary questions being thrown at him, is not evidence of anything (beyond maybe OP isn't a good communicator, and there could be reasons for that).

OP could also be incorrect for the reason for the ban, but the ban still be real. Of course, it could also be all fake, but that isn't the point.

Yep. I don't think I've seen anyone question the fact that the OP was banned. Just the story behind it. And turns out everyone was right to.

I bet I've built more gaming PCs than anyone here. I paid > 400 dollars a month for a T1 line out in the woods to play WoW for 6 years. I am a networking admin for a living....

I retired to consoles.

When I game on a PC, it takes me out of the immersion because I'm always worried with my clocks, my performance, my mods, my crashes. Also, my bro is not a PC person but loves consoles and we like to play together.

Sure it costs a little more, but if something isn't convenient it isn't sustainable. The fact that it costs more generally also is a hit against it. As you stated, as rudimentary as building a PC is, some people will just never do it and will only buy prebuilt. Software is getting better and MS and Valve have been working on convenience for years. Not there yet but one day. Windows and/or Steam OS will be key to eliminating consoles but neither software is there yet.

Imagine booting into a PC and having the same experience as the PS5 out of the box without any up front configuration, no need to piecemeal components, BUT also with all the advantages(user mods, multiple platforms, OC settings, ini files) of PC in a convenient format, all initiated by you setting up windows with a controller, no mouse no keyboard, UI of every game auto booting into console mode.

Piracy and DRM circumvention are things that would make the PC market lag behind the console market in an apples to apples comparison, and these things can also be eliminated with software. Be careful what you wish for. If you do successfully lobby everyone to drop consoles and move to PC, PC gaming would change, and likely not in ways that provide more freedom, probably less. You are inviting the industry into your PC and you think OS providers won't lock you down when you are no longer a side project, but the main show? They will if they can get away with it.

Might be the dog chasing the bus here. What advantages do you see for the industry if everyone moved to PC? At the very least, PC would become marginally more restrictive, no? Sometimes it is good to have multiple options.

Also, if everyone got cheap games on PC and nobody paid these higher prices, what would that do to the industry?

It's all over now, the concert is unfortunately over, the topic can be closed.

Although, to be honest, I would recommend the creator of the topic to learn how to conduct a dialogue and a conversation with people, otherwise if he is arrested for a minor offense, after the court hears him, they will put him in prison for life for double murder. He conducted a dialogue so badly, and the fact that he eventually posted his data and Twitter is just the cherry on the cake.
 
I live streamed the character creator in cyber punk 2077, and I heard not so much as a peep from anyone anywhere.

If you’ve played cyberpunk you know what I’m talking about, which would definitely go beyond some ass shots in stellar blade.

There’s clearly more then meets the eye with the OP.

It's been a challenging ordeal, navigating two teams that seem to be working at cross-purposes, one keeping me in the dark while the other provides inaccurate information.
As it stands, I'm still under investigation for the next 48 hours. Due to memory issues, I'm uncertain if I sold a console with my account still active. I've also logged into family and friends' consoles in the past, a consequence of selling my own too early.
I'm hopeful that this final hurdle with Sony will result in an unsuspended console and an end to this nightmare. I've cooperated fully with Sony, and I appreciate everyone's support throughout this process.
I understand the skepticism, but I've been hindered by limited access to information and constant uncertainty. The stress has taken a toll on me, leading to panic and mistakes.
To be completely transparent, I've logged into multiple consoles, game-shared occasionally, and purchased PlayStation Store credit. I realize now that the explicit content incident, which led to a permanent ban, was a serious misstep.
I'll provide an update once I have more information.
I apologize for any grammatical errors or typos. My learning disabilities make it difficult to maintain perfect accuracy.
Please understand that I've chosen to remain anonymous online to protect my privacy the deep divers think I'm some software engineer I did not spend hours creating a profile else my bio would be awesome

. I work at a game shop that's closing soon, and I'm transitioning to volunteering at the RSPCA. My goal is to eventually become an animal cruelty prevention officer.
