I really dislike their new DRM update even if its “testing the waters” , after being a fan for so long I’m set to completely drop them by the end of this year (yes I’m waiting for gta6).
I managed to convince my normie friends to switch with me to PC gaming by being their IT support 😂
Looks like I’ll have to jailbreak my PS4 and keep it offline to keep access to the stuff I bought and paid for.
Why would you lose access? What’s happening?
The current story they’re talking about is a 30 day temporary license from point of purchase of a digital game. Supposedly after the refund window has lapsed, the license renews to a permanent license. If the temporary license expires whilst the console is offline or PSN is offline the game won’t run. Supposedly it’s to prevent people from buying games, taking the console offline, and refunding. In theory it should work like before after the 14 to 30 days.
My scenario is a bit different. None of my digital games will run after dusting off my PS4 and hooking it up. The Internet says it’s because it’s not my primary console, but I can’t make it primary without updating it. That would burn a perfectly good, exploitable firmware that’s currently running. I believe there is a homebrew hack for making it primary again without updating, but I’ll have to look into it once it’s jailbroken.
