PSN is down

[Alx789]

I think that Sony wanted more money from ps4 customers. I bought 1 year subscription for psn+ only for ability to play network gamees. They propose some other bonuses, but they are unusable for me.

If sony is completely incapable of keeping Psn or returning it to any state of functionality then you shouldn't lock games behind it.

Basically this.

At this point it's completely ridiculous.

We are paying for a game we can't access because of an arbitrary authentication system that shouldn't be necessary.

Incredibly frustrating.

I think Japanese PSN is hit also. I used to be able to get up there before but now I get the same errors. I think even the japanese players are mentioning it on their forum. Wonder if Square can come up with something for the Ps3/4 players. I agree this is ridiculous.

Why is everyone acting like it's Sony's fault?

It is Sony's fault , in the past 4 years we have been hit with the same ddos attack . Now that we pay for the online feature we expect this not to happen . To be hit twice by the same attack in the past. 2 months shame on Sony for not securing the servers for being tight on internet security

actually it is their fault for being unprepared for a 3rd attack that was infact announced, they were attacked by the same group in August and at the beginning of December. they should have something in place to prevent this from happening again but they don't.

Wasn't there a reply to someone saying this earlier in this thread? Something a long the lines that the way these attacks work is that if you do not know the exact IP of the attackers than the only option you have to defend yourself would always cause troubles for actual customers? And Microsoft is having the same issues, it's not just Sony. You seriously can't think these two companies are not doing their best to make their customers happy.
