Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Careful. Looks like they couldn't iron out all the bugs.

You may lose progress within games, including game saved data, leaderboard data, and progress towards Trophies.

Parts of your game and applications may not function properly both online and offline.

You may lose access to content (including paid-for content) that you may have acquired for your games including content like add-ons and virtual currency.

Some of the games on the list.

MLB[emoji2400] The Show[emoji769] 17 (Issues Identified*)
Everybody's Golf (Critical Issues**)
MLB 14 The Show (Critical Issues**)
MLB The Show 16 (Critical Issues**)
MLB[emoji2400] The Show[emoji769] 15 (Critical Issues**)
The Golf Club 2[emoji769] (Critical Issues**)

Do we know if Sony is purging old inactive accounts in anticipation of name changes like Microsoft does? The only thing I want to change on my gamertag is an underscore I threw at the end. The guy using the gamertag I'd like hasn't used it in seven years.

Some of the info taken that is important/useful to know.

<li>You won't lose your old ID when you change it. You can always go back to it and it's still yours to go back. Reverting back to your old ID is Free</li>
<li> First time changes are free. If we wish to change it again, $5 for PS+ users. $10 for non plus users</li>
<li> List of games they're showing that may have critical to non critical issues and non issues</li>
<li>Games that have launched for the first time on or after April 1, 2018, will support the online ID change feature.</li>

I suppose this is technically Sony's answer to my question. It appears stagnant inactive accounts won't have their names released. I was really hoping they'd release older unused names like Microsoft does.

Yeah, that's a bummer. meStevo has never been available and has no profile, is that how you were seeing activity? Or is there some other way to check?

The person I was looking up had a public profile so I could see the games he has played the trophies he had earner. This person hasn’t booted up a game released after 2012 and hasn’t earned a trophy since December of 2012.

I think Im holding off for now, I'm all digital and Im afraid to run into any issues.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

You guys must have terrible user names if you're even thinking about changing them. :P LOL.

The one I want has been taken forever. Not too worried about to though since I rarely play online while gaming on PlayStation.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

If I did, it would just be changed to Blzer_OS. I'll hold off until I know nothing will go awry, though. I have no reason to immediately change it.

I don't play games online, so will probably just keep mine as is.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Latest round of bad PR for Sony not allowing cross-platform features.

They reportedly prevented Bungie from implementing any kind of character transfer system.
