So are PS3/PS4 players gonna get an extended subscription due to the outage?

I was unable to play my PS4 copy for 4 days straight over the holidays due to the PSN being down. I want my subscription extended by 5 days for this.

Why would Square-Enix give you subscription time for something that was Sony's fault?

When your ISP goes down do you expect Square-Enix to give you free play time, as well?

I also demand my subscription extended for 5 days. I do not play on PS3/PS4 but my friends were affected plus I do own a PS3 controller that I play FFXIV with so I BASICALLY play the console version. I should be compensated for my time.

Very doubtful, I'm sure SE does not consider this their problem since it wasn't their service that was down.

Hahahaha, yeah there you go! I've considered buying a PS4 in the past so I want my sub extended by 5 days, as well!

Um, no /10char

No and we shouldn't expect one

The entitlement is real. Why would SE do this when it was an issue with Sony?

Why OP, the issue was caused by Sony and not Square like others have stated
Could you not have looked at movies or something those days?

Sounds like something you should talk to Sony about, why would Squenix reimburse you for a problem at Sony?

Maybe SE could just write you check for two dollars?

Since it was a problem on Sony's end, you should be looking more into what Sony can do to compensate, rather than SE to compensate the time that the systems were down. Although I don't think Sony would compensate for the down time as well, but you might be looking for compensation in the wrong place.

What should be extended at most is the Christmas event.

But realistically, seasonal events get done day 1 anyway. Everyone under normal circumstances had time to get them done, to not warrant an extension.

Truly though, unless it was a significant amount of time down from PSN, SONY would be the one to approach the gamers and it'd be most likely only towards PS-Plus users anyway for lost paid time.
Get away from this "I'm entitled to this... because of this..." crap. Real world might bite you where it hurts.

I play on the PS4 and since this problem was caused by an attack on the playstation and had nothing to do with SE I do not expect any compensation from them as their game was still playable on the PC. I did miss a friends Eternal Bond though but not much you can do about that /shrug

You get a 10% discount code for the PSN store

Why should we (the paying consumers) be punished for something that is CLEARLY not our fault?

It doesn't really matter if it is Sony or Square Enix, probably both of them have some share of "fault", but it certainly is NOT the players fault.

So some compensation really SHOULD happen.

People lost their garden plants with Thavnarian onions, lost one-time only weddings, lost ehcatl sealants (over 1 million gil in 5 days of daily quests), some even lost their coil statics.

Obvious troll thread is obvious. Nobody can be this dense, can they?

I also play on ps4, could not log in during the down time, and don't feel SE should do anything about it. (Nor should Sony, but they're being pretty generous imo with what Sony is already offering)

Seriously, what did I just read? How could it possibly be SE's fault that Sony got DDoS'ed? That's quite the leap of logic there. Hell, it's not even really Sony's fault either, but they're giving compensation anyway.

It's the fault of the asinine script kiddies that perpetuated the attack, and nobody else.

christmas DDOS attacks, truly the gift that keeps on giving.

/shrug. Why not just go demand the compensation from the ones who attacked the server ?

Actually some of them have been arrested :)

My ISP, fck up 2x this month where i was unable to play, I DEMAND 2 days of extra subscription...

No and it shouldn't be expected. It's one thing if Sony decides to compensate (which they have) but SE shouldn't have to.

It's your choice to use PS3/PS4 which uses PSN. If tomorrow my ISP has an outage and I can't play FF14 on my computer, I wouldn't expect SE to compensate me. I'd like my ISP to consider compensating (depending on why/how the outage happened), but it wouldn't be SE's fault. Just as I wouldn't expect Netflix to compensate users who weren't able to stream Netflix via PSN or Netflix via XBL.

Ps3 was fine i think during that "psn down" week or something.
Logged in just fine those days so heheh ps4 get rekt.
