PSN, Battlenet, Riot, and others DDOSed; PSN returning lightly toasted with butter

It could happen, but that's already the second time it happens on Sony PSN, never happened on Xbox Live instead so far.
I guess now everybody will claim that Microsoft paid this haker to attack Sony, Microsoft is the new big evil of videogames.

I am not sure what planet you live on but here on Earth, MS has been hacked before
 
What sucks is that even if Sony does decide to give out free shit because of this,
the first-party offering is pretty paltry. Already have Resogun and Infamous.

I want Killzone, Knack, Hohokum, and/or Flower. Maybe Transistor?

Dude stop posting.

Just stahp
 
Then I don't believe you. The system has literally nothing to do with PSN once you get it set up as your primary system.

I don't know what to tell you. All my digital games are locked, which is bullshit considering they are single player.

Is it not ypur primary aystem? I can play all my digital titles just fine.

Yes, it's my only PS4 - plus it was initially working fine this morning. I make lunch, come back, and all my digital titles are locked.
 
yeah for a few more days. 27.00 base plus 50%. 32 for NFS and Wolfenstein as well! Going in now. Will confirm

I can finally get rid of this crap game. Thank you so much

jesus god dude, stop.


some of the comments in this thread, like the one above, are totally unacceptable.
 
Can't log in to PSN
Set as primary PS4
All digital stuff is locked so I cannot access it
Great

Still can't play my single player games I bought digitally. What a shitty fucking system they have.

Weird. You both said it is set as your primary correct? I am primary and I tried TLoU and Wolfenstein (both physical) and a game shared digital copy of Infamous SS and all worked fine on both the main PS account and a sub account on the same system. Are you absolutely sure you're Primary?

If so seems like there's a bug or something. If it were some form of DRM, I wouldn't be able to play either.

Wolfenstein threw up a server error message but I just hit X and it let me play.

Again, I don't believe you because the system doesn't work like that. Either you didn't do something you thought you did (like have the account that bought them actually have the system registered as a primary) or you're lying about something else.
 
DDoS attacks aren't hacking, are they? Isn't it just where they overload and crash the servers? Let's not give these dickheads more credit than they deserve.

Edit - I'm referring to the quote in the OP which says they're a hacker group.
I won't call them "hacker" before knowing more about them, but the tricky part of a DDoS attack is not the attack itself, it's building a network extensive enough to be able to produce a huge number of requests at the same time. With most important network services, you usually won't break them with just two dozen computers if the servers are set up correctly.

So building the network (e.g. creating a large botnet) may require some tricks or technical knowledge. *may*... Too early to tell before details are more well-known.
 
The difference between a hack and a DDOS is basically the same as having someone breaking into your house versus having an asshole parked in front of your driveway blocking your car.

It's annoying, yes, but don't panic, your data is safe.

Excellent analogy, this should be ammended to the OP.

Yep, we're just lying. I'm the only user on this PS4 and it's my only PS4. Their system isn't working as intended at some level, and they should fix that shit.
 
So if i buy my games from the US store to play on my UK account, and both my UK and US accounts are set to Primary, then the games should still offline from my UK account?

The only thing I can think of is that my US account isn't set to Primary...but I am almost 100% sure I have done this already.
 
I'm convinced a lot of these posters read the thread title like this:

PSN... attack... hack...

O_O

"Fuckin' Sony!"

*writes misinformed post and hopes for free stuff*
 
i hope they enjoy prison :D
It depends heavily where they're living... I mean, there's a couple of "enterprises" on the internet that offer to conduct DDoS attacks in exchange of cash. Probably shady at best, but I'm pretty sure they don't face criminal charges where they live.

Wait you can game share on ps4??

I mean there up to date now just 6 hours late but ok. Hope to see it restored fast.
I know a guy who is a programmer for some advertising agency, one that makes those digital screens you can find in shopping centers and whatnot.

Anyway, despite the fact that some of their displays have to run on bank holidays & sundays, no one is actually in the office, instead a few people are "on-call" and when theres a problem they do everything from home through stuff like, 'logmein'.

Being a sunday, it wouldnt surprise me if theres currently a skeleton crew at Sonys datacenter if theres anyone at all. Chances are they're all trying to fix the issue from a distance.

Of course i have no idea how Sony works, but i'm just putting forward the idea. I'd assume this would have been fixed faster if it happened during week day open hours.

Embarrassing post. Nice work.

I think I just heard your mom calling you for dinner. Better go eat.
 
Would setting your ps4 as the primary console require the servers to be working? It seems to me like it would.

So for those of you that didn't have it set as your primary ps4, and then tried to set it while the servers are down, then it won't be set until they come back up.

I think. But it makes sense.

I've had my licenses bug out before so I'm not surprised some people are locked out of their games even with their system set as the primary one. A license refresh should fix the issue but since psn is down there's nothing they can do but wait.
