I doubt Ill ever even play video games after this. Ive spent thousands of dollars over the past couple years on digital games and now I cant play them.

I miss the good ol days when if you bought a game you could just play it when you wanted to.

Nope, thought it got hacked at first but then checked online. Its the only active system but because my hardware is choosing to say Im not the primary it blocks me from playing any of my games.

I have no internet outside of my phone so if I do a hotspot it lets me play but the hotspot is like 200 kbps so if I want to download the PS4 update itd take 8 hours plus be taxing af on my phone which is my only connection to the internet. The games should be playable offline theyre all downloaded on to my PS4 and the $70 (on sale) 2TB hard drive I purchased. But Sony decided to be fuckfaces about this shit.

Like, bruh, $6,000 is a lot of fucking money. I may have well just thrown it in a pit.

Why would you spend so much on digital games if you didn't have access to decent internet?

Thats the thing, I can do it when connected to the internet but Im not right now and it sucks that all these games I paid for cant be played without being connected to the internet.

Thank you, 100% agreed.

I had to move back into a house thats 110 years old a year or 2 ago and no one ever kept it up and its filled with hoarders shit so its not able to be hooked up at this point.

Are you game sharing? Cuz you shouldnt have this issue if it's your primary system even without internet connection.

I had an issue with getting into my account once a few years ago. I no longer had access to the email address I had used to set it up. and I needed that email address to sign in. I did a text chat online with the help people, and was able to prove it was my console and account and they modified my account to have my new email address. It's the only time I ever had to do something like that.

Try removing it as your primary then readding it after restoring the license. I didnt read the rest of your topic to know if you have internet issues tbh but try logging out fully then logging back in. If none of those things work then you should contact Sony.

It is the same thing, because the games used to work even when I was offline. They only recently got locked.

Yeah but it only gives me a speed of about 200 kbps so for example downloading the latest software update would take about 8 hours and also it would be taxing on my phone.

I really just want to be able to play the games offline because I paid for them and they are downloaded on to my hard drives and I used to be able to play them offline.

You might want to consider getting a hotspot solely for wifi then. That's what my region did after the infrastructure was torn down from the hurricanes that graced the area.

You really don't have enough info to even comment on his home situation

Anyway it sounds like this is just a license problem that can be fixed by either of the suggestions in here like restoring them or calling sony directly. Their customer service line has always been helpful when I needed to talk to them

i still think it's the circumstances he's in. i lived out in the boonies there's no good option for internet.
thinking back about now if i was in the same situation with a ps3/ps4. it's impossible to download those games and stay online at times.
