What the fuck, they can just do that? They can remotely turn off the game I'm playing? How is this fine?!

Just verify your licenses retard, its literally in the options menus

Are you in special ed or something?

I have never seen this pop-up before. Are you family sharing?

But why can they do this, why does the PS4 operating system have this function?
No, literally just set it up and made the account.

>>Sup Forums tells me to buy a PS4
The PS3 was amazing. But I've always shat on the PS4 hard.

Game sharing requires an Internet connection and any blips on your side or Sonys server causes this message. That's why it waits 15 mins before doing anything.

>tfw the sony police find out you've been gaming without a license

>Xbox is the only console without drm
Loving every laugh

I think he bought a used ps4, tried to play the original owner's games, and since original owner delinked the ps4 he can no longer verify the game but still wants to play it.

nigga are you british? lmao

beat me to it, I was gonna ask if OP paid his HM's Cuck Licence this week

Its also the only console without a single video game

>license

>the ps3 was amazing

>his HM's
>his her majesty's's

I bought the PS4 and it came with games, I should be able to continue using them. Sony is stealing from me, and I will report it to the appropriate ombudsman.

it only happens if you're using the sharing function

i hope you win

>poor people have to game share

Lmao

It's was a new, sealed PS4.

You've done some next level retard shit, OP. I've never once seen this message

What you are saying is something like: I bought a second hand PC from someone that had his steam account logged in, have been playing his games. Then he changed his password and you are now complaining you can no longer play your "games you got with it".

No, OP. Someone else bought those games in their account.

I have a day 1 launch ps4 and this has never happened. What did you did?

>b-but it only happens if X
That's not the problem you fucks.

The PS4 apparently has a built in way to not allow you to play a game if Sony so desires, that's the real problem. They could stop you from playing your games whenever they felt like it and for some reason nobody is complaining about this?

>what is steam

Lol try harder

Brand loyalist cucks will defend anything

>The PS4 has a built-in way to not allow you to play a game you don't own

This is a thing on all platforms.

It also has a built in way to not allow you to play a game you do own.

Ok, but what game?

Whatever happened to this?
youtube.com/watch?v=kWSIFh8ICaA

name a single platform this gen that cant also do that.

i think he might mean physical games, not digital purchases

He wont have an answer because this is a false flag thread

Such as?

>it's okay when steam does it

You could replace Sony with Steam or Microsoft and the sentence would still be valid
In fact, Steam removed a shitton of games cutting people off content they paid for
literally not true unless you present proofs

>The PS4 apparently has a built in way to not allow you to play a game if Sony so desires, that's the real problem.
Microsoft and Nintendo can disable their consoles as well if they want to, the last 2 generations of console have had this functionality.

Find an instance of Sony or MS doing it though, I'll wait.

Huh, kind of like steam, microsoft and nintendo

>In fact, Steam removed a shitton of games cutting people off content they paid for
Did they actually remove things from people's libraries? I know they stopped selling some games on the store, but I thought you could still download them.

As opposed to Playstation 4, the console with one (1) game

this doesn't happen on physical games (as the disk is verified) or online store-bought ones (license files are downloaded to the console)

This isnt a thing anymore. You gotta find a new argument now

It's okay when Sony does it

Steam, Microsoft and Nintendo got shit on thanks to it, yet Sony gets away for free.

The only thing preventing you from playing games on Nintendo is it's own library

>Did they actually remove things from people's libraries? I know they stopped selling some games on the store, but I thought you could still download them.
No, I own Alan Wake and while it's not for sale anymore I can still install it.

I wonder if anyone bought Too Human on Xbox 360 digitally and lost the ability to play it when Epic won the lawsuit and got the game taken down from Xbox.

Don't try to deflect the blame here, you can apply that logic to anything, pretty much every company has the access to terminate your service to anything at will if they feel like it, but they won't unless they feel they have a legitimate reason. When has anyone here in this thread just got their lights cut out, their steam account games blocked from being played or anything like that without majorly trying to do something to scam the company first?

I don't think so, that warning is for digital games, someone brought a very valid point that it must be someone else's account who bought and installed those games on the PS4. But he's trying to deflect the blame to "wow don't you see the true evil here, Sony can just stop me from playing the games at will, how is this allowed!"

This. OP wanted a sony chimp out. 0/10 thread

>he didn't buy a gamer's license XD

And he got it, considering people are defending it.

>british grammar school education

OP says he bought the game, nice try.

All i see are people saying this can happen on any platform.

did you pay extra for those games, OP

did the seller mention or demonstrate their inclusion (and didn't warn you that they're tied to his account)?

He didn't if that message popped up for him, it will never pop up on a disc based game and it will only pop up on a downloaded title if you don't have your PS4 activated as your primary system. Like the PS3, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, when you activate the system as your "primary" digital games do not need an internet connection to be played.

>Sony refuses to give us a way to actually change our PSN usernames
>Sony refuses to give the PS4 backwards compatibility
>Sony raises the prices of PS+

>Sup Forums will defend this

WHAT GAME??????

I feel like OP is actually lying here, basically talking about how VAC "unfairly banned him". It's simple, OP just has to give us the full story here to clear some things up. Tell us what game and what circumstances he bought them from.

He's getting an error for a very specific thing and telling us very little of the story, instead shifiting the blame to the company for "having too much power". Come on, OP. If you really think Sony is in the wrong here, give us the full story.

I do remember one multiplayer-only game got removed from people's accounts because the game's servers were shut down

It's a good feature, they put that there to protect the gamers. Sorry if you don't want to be protected and play the best graphics.

OP says he bought a PS4 WITH games
which most likely means someone left their account on their console and deactivated it later on, stopping OP from playing games that aren't owned by him
that doesn't happen with games you buy yourself

its a false flag

Is pretending OPs tell the truth a dank new meme? It's a classic structure.
>wow I just got VAC banned for no reason
>100 posts later: well, I was wallhacking a little bit, but only ever with friends, mostly

Only one I can think out of my head is codename gordon. You can still install it but it doesn't show up in your library. I think it came as a freebie with some half-life game anyway.

>It's a falseflag because I say it is
How rich.

F-False flag!

>implying Sony would actually do this
Fuck off retard

>Sony refuses to give us a way to actually change our PSN usernames
who the fuck actually cares about this
>Sony refuses to give the PS4 backwards compatibility
literally impossible due to PS3's retarded architecture
>Sony raises the prices of PS+
shit move, but all in all, skip two cheeseburgers a year and it's not an issue

Well what game then?

>Falling for the PS4 meme

Battleforge, yeah

No, read it again.

You're proving his point you know.

JUST HATE SONY ALREADY

I love that the xbone guy is a spic

GOG

>>Sup Forums will defend this
no, it's the main reason I don't have any next-gen console thus far, and I have a gut feeling that I'd sell them after playing the handful of games that I'd be interested in playing because there's no way I intend to be tied down to pay for online.

Also OP is deflecting and/or not answering relevant questions to his predicament and is likely to be a faggot

The OP says he bought a PS4 and then bought "a random game from the PSN Store to test things out." He's at least pretending he personally purchased the game just now, but that's an absurd situation so you know it's bullshit.
>buy a system without getting any games
>buy a "random" game to test it out, as if you had no idea what you might want to play on this system when buying it
>also, what the fuck is there to test out?
Something's a lie. Most likely what he was testing out was some random PSN game he saw already on there.

pm'd you the fix :^)

Are you telling me you don't buy random games for no reason?

>defending PS+
What a gay.
>skip two cheeseburgers a year and it's not an issue
And then on the PS5 it'll be "just skip a burger a week so you can afford the controller license that allows you to use your controllers."

>80 replies
>still wont say what game

I just renewed my yearly video game license so this doesn't happen.

but that's literally the only way he'd get this message
physical games don't check for license online due to everything being on-disc
store-bought games download license files so that they can be played offline
i just don't feel like $5 or 10 more a year makes a dent in my budget

>Buying consoles for playing video games

Let's be honest, you buy a console if you are too retarded to do research and build an actual computer. At least when it comes to video games. It's like watching movies on your cellphone "because it's simpler and faster" instead of bothering to have a proper setup.

Look, I don't wanna sound too "PC Master Race", but looking at this entire generation of consoles, it's very hard to justify the purchase of any of em. I have a PS4 because I wanted a blu-ray player and media center device on my TV, also because I wanted to try out Persona 5, but notice how the video game aspect of it was almost irrelevant.

PC has a shitload of games, PC has a shitload of ways to customize or mod those games, it has many other uses outside of video games. Seriously, can someone on this thread who bought a console instead of a PC simply tell me, why? Is there any other reason than "you were too lazy to do better?"

Wtf i love sony now

Make sure your PS4 is activated as "your primary PS4" in the options, if you do it allows you to play store bought games and DLC offline. Otherwise you have to be always online for it to work.

$5 or 10
It's $60. That's a whole extra AAA-game you could be getting per year instead of giving a tip on your internet bill.

>Sup Forums tells me to buy a PS4
>k, go out and buy one

>>shit move, but all in all, skip two cheeseburgers a year and it's not an issue
You're forgetting how Sony convinced themselves that people would just work harder so they can afford a PS3.

What game?

A random one from psn

Not that user, but yea. It just depends on your personal preferences anyway. I mean changing username should be basic feature, but I don't have any need for that. I've ps3 and bunch of other consoles so I don't need backwards compatibility. But I can understand why people would want that.

for the price of ps+. I'm not paying for ps+, so it doesn't matter to me. some dollar price increase is less of a problem than having to pay for that shit in the first place if you want to play online.

>implying you still can't do this
>implying buying games used isn't the best way to buy games

Wtf i bought a playstation and some random unknown game and i keep dying, WHY IS SONY DOING THIS TO ME?

as i said, i just don't feel like that impacts my budget. not gonna cry over $5 a month since i'm doing pretty well money-wise
