Just so you know, I absolutely give zero shits about their reasons for doing it.
Ruining the experience for everyone else because of a negligible minority of people found a clever way to cheat the system (good for them). Sony can get fucked.
But in reality it barely affects anyone who uses their PS5s normally though. It would only affect you if for whatever reason your internet is down for more than 14 days or you buy a game 13 days before they shut down services (at which I imagine they’d remove both this and the ability to refund during that period).
Like I said before it’s shitty they did this without explanation but also saying that this is negatively affecting everyone else just to stop a minority is just straight up false. Heck it had been in place for a while and nobody noticed a thing. It was a modder specifically trying to find exploits that blew the whistle on it and even then it was just that he saw a timer counting down in the same way PS+ games do.
