PSN is down

[SpookyGhost]

It's not SE that needs to compensate they run a well maintenced service that Sony seems to lack . So don't get your hopes up

I agree with this, though I'm going to be bummed if this lasts until the end of the Christmas event as I was planning to do it today. @_@

I get the feeling that even once PSN and XBL gets fixed the lizard folk will then proceed to DDoS SE, Blizzard, and others directly. I think this happened last time.

I suggest people to not plant anything once the coast is clear.

FFXIV on PS3/4 has PSN authentication. When you install FFXIV on PS3/4 you get a FFXIV license linked to your PSN account it is viewable under services. When you log in to play FFXIV on PS3/4 it does a check with PSN to make sure you have a FFXIV license on your PSN account. They don't want people playing on PS3/4 that have not a license, because someone could just borrow a ps4/3 disc then install it and play with their pc account otherwise and never bought the game on PS. Once you are logged in you don't need any more interaction with PSN though.

...yes, I know that. I mean the game itself doesn't need PSN. Thanks for missing my point though. Obviously it "needs" PSN since none of us can play!

Don't believe the whole lizard squad thing it's all just a bunch of bull . Sony does not go to outside help to fight a attack they pay big dollers for super geeks to deal with situations it's all just a bunch of teens trying to get followers claiming to be hackers when there just script copy pasters overloading a server

[lol123]

Won't be able to login for a month just like last time.

The game license is already download on the console so I don't know why pan is needed between this crap and the half a day maintenance is stupid because then we can't get in and we lose out on stuff.

I bet Sony is just gona compensate us by giving us some crapy Indi or arcade game NO I say give me $10

It's stuff like this that makes companies lose their customers. If this doesn't get fixed its gonna affect business for them badly regardless who it is that these dodos attacks are coming from.

that makes you think Anonymous would come to the aid of Sony if they asked for it?
also if Sony is paying such big money to super geeks to deal with situations like this then why wasn't it solved months or even years ago?
the answer is because Sony has a huge ego and is likely trying to solve it all inhouse without the help of anyone that truly knows security.
same with Microsoft who should have been better prepared for this than Sony since their top product(windows) is constantly hacked yet they weren't
