u/askmewhyihateyou Feb 08 '25

my first thought was “ fuck my card got denied”

u/ForgiveMeForMyGrimes Feb 08 '25

I was like oh these mother fuckers JUST took my money how tf was it not paid??! Even though id rather payment be the issue.. at least then id have no access to something that i didn’t pay. Instead of paying for a service and not having access to it..

u/Anticripper1962 PS5 Feb 08 '25

Wait what do yall mean? Psn is free, maybe you meant ps plus?

u/ForgiveMeForMyGrimes Feb 08 '25

Ps plus can’t function when the network is down.

1

u/ForgiveMeForMyGrimes Feb 08 '25

And I assume the confusion a lot of us had with thinking we didn’t pay was the odd way it was functioning for a moment. Like it wasn’t working fully but it seemed like it was online and okay to a point. For a minute at first. My brothers ps was connected and fine for like 45 minutes cause he had music on and the game just running in the background while he went somewhere. So I thought it was just mine for a moment.

The app still says friends are online if they were,

1

u/ReylyzE Feb 08 '25

On the ps4 friend list, I still can't search for friends, but at least now it's showing one of my friends online. I was able to download an update for Destiny 2, waiting for it to finish copying.

u/ReylyzE Feb 08 '25

Unable to play Destiny 2, but being able to update it makes me hopeful

u/Rio6019 Feb 08 '25

I could still use my streaming services oddly tho

u/Royal-Eye8463 Feb 08 '25

It is back up have to unplug power cord from outlet for 30 seconds  tho then go into each app individually and it will fail then press try again on whatever app and it will work

u/HistoricalTie6958 Feb 08 '25

How true is this

2

u/Ionic_Pancakes Feb 08 '25

"Was it on the card that just expired? I could have sworn I swapped it."

u/askmewhyihateyou Feb 08 '25

Lmao that’s what I say in public

u/Artistic_Panic_8968 Feb 08 '25

Same at first lol this is ruining my grind on Fortnite 😂🥲

u/Mikehuntbonsai90 Feb 08 '25

I signed in on the switch just to grind zombie merge I swear xp maps have nothing on zombie merge last night I went from level 123 to level 170 in two or three hours 

1

u/Brave-Perspective755 Feb 08 '25

Zombie merge? What's the gameplay like? Shooting zombies?

2

u/Comfortable-Snow8584 Feb 08 '25

Fr. I really wanted to check the shop but I can’t 😭😭

3

u/Proud-Equivalent1843 Feb 08 '25

It’s working now

1

u/Comfortable-Snow8584 Feb 08 '25

Oh thank god lmao

1

u/Fit_Brick9649 Feb 08 '25

Is it just ps or Xbox too??

0

u/Logical_Reporter8358 Feb 08 '25

Just ps. Never had any issue with xb. I low key hate ps lol.

1

u/bwhouwanttob Feb 08 '25

You dont need ps plus for all online games, you can play fortnite without it.

1

u/Beneficial_Dog4469 Feb 08 '25

Ironically enough AL my online game BUT Fortnite was affected so

1

u/Real-Barracuda-2092 Feb 08 '25

I know tried to jump on with my girl and was like du fu cuz she’s on Xbox and was on just fine

3

u/MiserableBox418 Feb 08 '25

Same I’m like “damn that automatic payment got me negative again!?”😂😂😂

2

u/Diligent_Cap3488 Feb 08 '25

FR, I thought the same thing but they just hit me for my subscription Wednesday. It’s something else. No warning or anything and since that hack years ago, they’ve told us when they’re going to do maintenance. Something is amiss!

2

u/Jdubgirl Feb 08 '25

That was my first thought! 🤣🤣🤣

2

u/Individual-Pause-526 Feb 08 '25

Yes, like most of us. They should refund us if it takes too long. Imagine if you just bought Arma Reforger like I did? Reforger doesn't work approximately for 2 weeks,now this shit. I so MAD....

1

u/theonecalledflynn Feb 08 '25

I will not pay that subscription for life, but I will let the others do so, then claim it was me.

1

u/Nervous_Two3115 Feb 08 '25

It told me my psn was running out soon like 2 weeks ago so I thought shit is it finally gone 😭But I guess it’s not lol

1

u/Mean-Persimmon-3996 Feb 08 '25

I legit thought the same thing 😂😂😂😂😂

1

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '25

You don’t forget to pay for something when you don’t pay for the subscription in the first place 

1

u/Professional_Land212 Feb 08 '25

My thoughts exactly, 😂. I saw yearly subscription fee on my AMEX and was like I am good. This Reddit post notified me. 😂

1

u/Feisty-Status4096 Feb 08 '25

That was literally the first thing I checked. 🤣

1

u/Limp_Maintenance1841 Feb 08 '25

I thought my account got hacked lmao

1

u/The_Bird_do_1987 Feb 08 '25

I do that everytime the power goes out 😆

1

u/Aromatic_Reindeer_25 Feb 08 '25

I was thinking maybe I had my PlayStation for a year and needed to renew but was ignorant as to how😂

1

u/Cultural_Zombie_1583 Feb 08 '25

I just renewed about a week ago

1

u/TruthAndAccuracy Feb 08 '25

You do it by the month...?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '25

I was playing BO1 & 2 on PS3, I thought Sony had finally pulled the plug on the servers.

1

u/PrawojazdyVtrumpets Feb 08 '25

The card I use for PSN was stolen so it's disabled by the bank. I got the new one but got lazy and waited for the renewal which was yesterday. Still didn't add the new card figuring I'd do it tonight. Went to sign in and I couldn't get any response on my PS5, portal or the website. I was like "damn, they don't mess around. No grace period or nothing. first time in 10 years I've missed a payment."

1

u/Outrageous-Emu3255 Feb 08 '25

Literally just charged me today right before the outage 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

1

u/Whole-Soup3602 Feb 08 '25

Like seriously I just paid it I was about to snap😂😂💯🤦

1

u/Glum-Worldliness-601 Feb 08 '25

Is it still down? Anyone know?

1

u/BestStudio9230 Feb 08 '25

Me too but it's not the 22nd yet

1

u/Superb_Brother_3463 Feb 08 '25

Lmfao 🤣 🤣 🤣  me too bro

1

u/Redd3vils Feb 08 '25

I canceled my Sub just couple of weeks ago, so worries here

1

u/_Dragonman_ Feb 08 '25

Yeah as a PC player I’m so glad I switched, no paying to play online and if a server goes down you can use a different launcher

1

u/Rare-Woodpecker7582 Feb 08 '25

i just paid mine last night 🤦🏾‍♂️

1

u/AphuctonOfFun 5 Feb 08 '25

Just bought a year so I knew it wasn’t that 😭

1

u/Aggressive_Clue3523 Feb 08 '25

I was thinking the same thing. My wife and i are feening to play. 😂

1

u/W5_man Feb 08 '25

Not if you bought yearly on the Black Friday sale

1

u/Kill_Ki7752 Feb 08 '25

Same here does anyone know why they down

1

u/kizkizzy Feb 08 '25

SAME I THOUGHT MY CARD GOT DECLINED ….

1

u/Dharc_Tracer Feb 08 '25

That's was my first thought then I checked my games and had no issues with playing them so I checked is just going online rather than other things

1

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '25

I thought the same thing lol

1

u/rodmanx1 Feb 08 '25

Look how many posts since this happened....Sony really needs to get this crap fixed as of now unless sharing was on your ps is a brick and your money spent on everything is no longer viable.

1

u/EasternPsychology878 Feb 08 '25

Oh man, they’re crazy about that. They canceled my entire subscription because I bought a three dollar purchase and for whatever reason it bounced back from my card and they accuse me of stealing and made me buy a gift card for the equivalent of five dollars to get the band lifted off of my account. It was the weirdest shit ever.. it was in fact PlayStation support though

1

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '25

I thought my Internet was out .. like I just paid the damn bill!

1

u/snatchmobb PS5 Feb 08 '25

And then it wouldn’t even let me login online to manage my subscription

1

u/Internetveganism Feb 08 '25

Brunch goblin screen name is crazy

1

u/pezeldr Feb 08 '25

We will be compensated for this, right?

1

u/CrowRepulsive1714 Feb 08 '25

The month I deactivate mine….im like damn they’re really trying to put the hurt on me 😅😅😅 glad I’m not the only one suffering though

1

u/Amart1293 Feb 08 '25

Which is another problem Sony never addressed lol. For yours, I’ve seen tons of reports of people cards not working, for no reason at all. My sub was auto renewing for months, then just stopped working, saying issue with your card. I re-entered the info and just does not work. Called the bank to make sure they weren’t blocking anything. Because of that, I’ve had to add like three different cards. Now if this is a hack, I’ll have to request new ones

1

u/tonguejack-a-shitbox Feb 08 '25

I had my son go grab my wallet off my desk because I figured I got hit with a fraud alert or something and that's what was going on. Until I did a quick google search.

u/Kind_Service8469 Feb 08 '25

I’d still call you names on cod.

u/iKilledBrandon Feb 08 '25

“Damn girl, I’d pay that subscription for life”

u/StatusAd3295 Feb 08 '25

Keep it in your pants

u/YeeHawWyattDerp Feb 08 '25

Don’t be a fucking creep dude. Shit like that is the reason women get uncomfortable around men.

u/grilled_flake Feb 08 '25

Happy cake day! And thanks for speaking up.

u/Winkiwu Feb 08 '25

Do you think quotation marks some how make this less creepy? Lol
