PS4 just deleted my FF14:ARR client :o

Are you comparing the DDoS attack to the security hack 2 years ago? If so they were completely different things. As for corruption..Sony probably fixed A corruption issue, but data corruption is inherent to computers of any kind. Disks fragment etc. Does seem though like maybe their system for removing corrupt files is a little sensitive. Honestly I don't understand why they'd put something in that autodeletes files like that. It should be user prompted.

Erm Sony PSN is bad the security is still poor thus why its still being targeted left and right. So yes I am comparing the 2 since the HDD in the Ps4 is poor

Edit: Even more irritating that its only happening to a tiny percentage of people, is my console defective or something? I wonder if this will keep happening...

it's not a defect its just a very unlucky bug with each stability patch that comes out for the ps4 they fix a lot of this, but if the games change or if you suddenly turn off your ps4 while in a game it causes a small data loop the console dosnt recognise and as part of its operating system to save the rest of your things from being corrupted it purges the game however saying that if you experience it 5 times in one month contact sony, if they say it is a default in your system they will replace the whole thing for you

Security has little to do with handling a DDoS attack. Maybe you should look up what a DDoS attack is. It also wasn't just Sony, if you were following the LizardSquad twitter feed they also targeted Microsoft Xbox Live, Battle.net, Twitch.tv, and several other web services. All were successful DDoS attacked even your supposedly well secured Xbox Live servers.

Iv just had the same thing happen to me, losing all my saved game config, ui, character settings ect, I was wondering were u able to recover those setting doing a re-install?

No crash, the closest was getting an error saying the data was not supported when launching the program. It cleared up after closing it and re-starting FFXIV. Unless something happened to corrupt your data profile/settings (presumed to be on disk) like loosing power, HD going bad etc.. I don't see why it would delete the client outside a lack of drive space, manual deletion, or a PS Plus cloud storage error (does it have one?).

This just happened to me as well, FF14 completely gone from the HD, really annoying to redownload 11GB worth of data plus updates...

Consoles are more unreliable than PCs. Don't understand why people still buy and use them for anything else than Netflix and exclusives.

Except that PS3 does not decide to DELETE datas on their own... I have to say PS4 is getting on my nerves with their bugs and "limitation". PS3 is way better machine that (could almost) do everything better than PS4 ever hopes for (except maybe better graphics...).
