Putting up a msg is NOT ENOUGH.
All Sony "multiple"statements are like "we are trying to get our services back, thanks for your patience".
It's been like this for almost 3 days now.
This is unacceptable.


Why is that google and amazon are never attacked by DDoS?
And why is this like the 10th time in 2014 this happens to PSN?
Isn't this frequent?
It's like almost once every month, PSN goes down for more than a day, and you still believe this is not "nearly frequent enough"?

I think your naivety is misplaced.

There's clearly something VERY WRONG with sony IT security (or the lack of it, actually).

You CLEARLY have no idea how DDOS works. Sony loses out the most with this lack of service. Do you really think they'd want to hurt their bottom line by not doing anything about this? They're still a business after all and the stability of their products is their utmost concern. We have no idea what they're doing in the background besides putting up msgs and to assume that they're not doing anything is completely silly.

The people attacking XBox Live and PSN are KIDS. They're attacking more because they have nothing better to do than troll.

PSN has been UP far longer than it's been down because of DDOS. It feels like it's always down right now because the DDOS-ers are attacking harder right now. However, the truth is that besides the last 3 days and the few days of DDOS a few months ago, PSN has been completely STABLE. So no I'm not being naive. You're being dramatic.

But FFXIV arr does not use PSN servers for its online portion. Also you can play no problem if you log in before PSN goes down. So FFXIV ARR has absolutly no need for PSN, other PS4 games MP modes have.

If you don't ask you don't get.

It works with NetFlix, which, while it's not a game, it's definitely NOT offline...

It can be done.

Yes because Sony allow it. Games work differently than Netflix does. Each game published on a console the console manufacturer, in this case, Sony get a cut. The PSN registration is Sony's way of ensuring each player has bought the game for their console and is not using a friends/PC version.

Bump for developers.
