Can't verify my game license because PSN went down in my area as I was playing. I just found the white Arabian in RDR2 too. What a stupid protection.

You need to make that ps4 your primary ps4 to play offline.

I understand that. But the issue is that PSN is down so often that the game sharing is more inconvenient than it is convenient.

It happens pretty often though. PSN is known to be terrible, dunno why we're pretending otherwise here. They cant even do name changing correctly lol

I bought RDR2. I gameshare with my girlfriend so we can play Overcooked and shit on both of our PS4s. Maybe Sony shouldn't be so shitty at making an online service.

I have the best internet in town. I switched over to my Xbox and it was running perfectly. It's PSN. This happens all of the time, you can see it on all of the outage websites.

Sounds like you just bought a system for this gen and are basing stuff off last gen. Live has been down more this gen than PSN this gen and last gen combined (yes including the month PSN was down). I actually set up notifications fir when Live goes back up. It's quite funny.

Sounds like bullshit to me. I've had both Xbox One and PS4 for a long time and my PS4 is more frequently down. I also didnt have to worry about my credit card information getting exposed on my Xbox. I dont know how you can even try to say that PSN is better than Live lol that's just straight up false.

It was an outage across the west coast according to a bunch of different websites other than the actual PSN service status website of course. The scheduled maintenance was at 8, this happened at 3 or 4 for over an hour or 2.

I mean yeah I was complaining because i couldnt play RDR2. That was the whole fucking point lol internet was fine though. PSN is just really bad. Try and change your username and see if you retain all of your purchase rights lol or let's see if it gets attacked for Christmas or not like it has for the past few years. I dont know why you're so vehemently defending it. Its known to be shit.

I'm all for it, but I'm not going to pretend it's not against their ToS so people crying about being disconnected from online and not playing should have known the risks.

I personally wouldn't because I'm too paranoid about getting banned from PSN for it.

My mind immediately goes to physical copies. I forget that people buy ROMs/ISOs sometimes. So how is it set up? Because imagine back when you had SNES/Genesis the only games you ever played were the ones you owned because their game wouldn't work in your system or some shit meant to make sure every single person that PLAYS (not owns) it bought it.

PSN was down for me earlier but did not affect my ability to plan RDR2. I couldn't play h1z1. Damn psn. I won't be able to play for another week. This is where xbox live beats them by a mile.

Your inability to notice how hot girls are makes me wonder how good your ability to notice PSN being down would really be.

Yeah it is, unless it's specifically with your immediate family. Not sure about the distance involved though. They really don't enforce it that well, but it's one of those things that could possibly get your account banned from PSN. So for that reason, I don't fuck with it.

Except it does. It goes down in multiple different regions almost weekly if not more frequently. Look up the outage reports.

And that's how games work, unless you're game sharing (not as in borrowing someone's game. It's a process which you sign your account onto someone else's PS4 and their account on yours and then you both have access to each other's digital games).

I did it on 360 back in the day, but I am super paranoid about losing all my content on PSN + my trophies.

I think that should be allowed. Most people don't give out login information to others since they figure it could potentially spread.

And here's the actual facts (although the article is 2 years old). According to it, PSN and XBL are near equal in terms of downtime. So if you think PSN is shit, then you're also calling XBL shit lol.

You can share your games with an infinite number of people, but.... if you play the same game with two or more Playstations at the same time, you will be flagged and banned.
