Please Lift PSN Sign In

My assumption was that the people who are posting on these forums have some sort of computer with which they're accessing the internet, so I was just pointing out that FFXIV can be played on a computer that has minimal specs-- in other words, your ordinary, low-end desktop or laptop. Basically, if you have a computer (unless it's several years old or a netbook), you can probably run FFXIV on it if you can't use your console for whatever reason.

If other programs on the Ps4 can bypass these stupid gates then surely something can be done... but only if we push for it.

My issue with what happened is the time in which it took Sony to "talk to engineers" .. I mean seriously. No need to make excuses for their shotty behavoir and response to these attacks. If Xbox was able to recover surely its not impossible to expect Sony to preform just the same. I do think it's time for Devs to sit down with Sony. I think the two of them need to come up with better ideas.

You can't only try to change things if we stand up and say something. Remaining quiet is worse.

There's very few things that actually get by this (even fewer on the PS4 now since a lot's been gated behind 'Plus' membership) and the ones that do are generally companies that have specific agreements with Sony to do so. I would imagine that these agreements are more expensive and therefore some companies might opt to do it while others may not. It's a business decision, ultimately, and likely not one that SE can do much about aside from ponying up extra cash... I don't know how likely that is to happen. We already get our requests answered in the most backwards ways possible, so SE's just as likely to completely drop PS support altogether as they are to do anything productive towards it.

tbh I actually think they did lift it lol because I signed in today and got the error code, then it bypassed it and I was able to login no problem

Sony wants people to pay for Playstation Plus. They can't get people to do that if they let people play their games online without checking their network.

They make exceptions for things like Netflix.

None of us know if SE has beseeched the team in charge of PSN and/or the Playstation systems, but, assuming that SE has done so, it's really out of their hands in regards to that decision.

Though, a couple of days ago a friend had asked how long the PSN would be down. It was more of a metaphorical question but I had jokingly replied with the statement of the PSN being down for about three months the last time it was hacked a few years ago. I'm hoping that doesn't become true.
