Hey guys, gals and non-binary people,
so my hacked PS3 was online, and I've been banned by Sony. The Console itself was banned, and my account was banned from the PSN as well (Error WS-37368-7).
I know that I can't download my games on the PS4, but what about the games already downloaded on the console? There are many conflicting informations on whether the digital games remain playable forever or them being locked if the console stays online.
The "Bans and suspensions on PlayStation Network" site is quite vague, and says that "If your account has been banned you no longer have access to content, subscriptions or trophies associated with the account."
The "Information on Banned Accounts, Consoles and IP Addresses" site states that "You can play offline games that don't require any connection to the PlayStation™Network. You can't play games that use the PlayStation™Network, purchase new DLC, or sync trophies." It does not specifiy whether the games are meant to be digital or physical ones.
Some people on Reddit and other sites say that they could keep their games, others say that their games were locked (but it isn't clear if the PS4 itself was banned as well).
A PlayStation Service employee on the phone said that if my games are still available, "I seem to have found a bug because they should be locked". But, you know, these people aren't omniscient.
Does anyone here know for sure if I'd be able to stay connected (to download updates for games), without fearing that my digital games will be locked at a certain point?
