The PlayStation Network experienced a significant outage over a weekend, preventing players from accessing online and even single-player games due to server-side validation issues. Sony provided five days of PS Plus to current subscribers as compensation, which triggered dissatisfaction among the broader player community. Many players expressed frustration at the lack of communication from Sony during the outage and the uncertainty surrounding the cause of the operational issue. This incident serves as a critical reminder of the challenges inherent in digital game ownership.
To make matters worse, Sony spent the entire day's outage not communicating with players about what was going on, and even after the fact, it isn't saying what caused the problem.
In addition to online play, PSN servers validate PlayStation games, making sure you actually have the license to play the games already on your system.
