so I bought ps4 with digital copies of games, bought via profiles. Everything worked fine, every game loaded and was avaliable from the menus and so on.

I also bought bloodborne - digital version by downloading from profile that you get access to after the payment. Downloaded the game, it had padlock icon before launch, Ive logged on that profile, checked the license again, back on my main profile - everything was fine, downloaded and started just ok. Demos were locked (lol) on my main profile but that was probably due to the psn store, when I downloaded demos again from my main profile they were just fine (padlock dissappeared without downloading whole demo once again).

Yesterday while playing BB game just randomly closed to the main menu and padlocks appeared on every game I had, I have absolutely no idea what the fuck happened. I have all the profiles and all the games downloaded on my hdd. To make it even more strange only Assassins Creed Unity is avaliable (it was also bought digitally from one of the profiles I have on my console) and all the rest, including BB is blocked with padlocks (demos are obviously avaliable).

What should I do with that, tried writting to sony support but its weekend obviously, today is already to late to call in my country, I will try calling them after the weekend. Any other options/solutions? I tried restoring the licence from my main profile (it shows 16/16 in progress bar, whatever that means) but it didnt help. All the games are blocked, unity works just fine, for fucks sake Very Happy

are you serious? sharing feature is meant for family/friends to share for FREE, not for selling on auction like websites and making money from it. fuck scumbags who do that, i have no remorse for them. enjoy your non working games.

I doubt you'll get any games back, I also fail to see how you think sony would not have an issue with the way you obtain these games.

If you do contact sony I'd be interested to see hoe they respond

People used to share accounts for PS3 games, now they're doing the same for PS4 games, to cut back expenses.
It's only safe to do it amongst friends, though. Don't trust e-bay sellers.
Someone creates a new account, purchases one game on it and then the game can be shared to up to three people, and they split the cost of it accordingly.
Here's how it works:

• Ghost Player (Pays 30%)
The ghost player receives the account and downloads the game.
Whoever is mediating the transaction then goes to the sony website and revokes his console permission to use the account.
Therefore, the ghost can never re-download the game if something happens, but the ghost can play with any PSN ID.

• Secondary Player (Pays 20%)
The secondary player logs in with the account, sets his console as secondary, then downloads the game to the console.
He will always be able to re-download the game, but he will never be able to play the game with his original PSN ID.
He will only be able to play it using the new account created specifically to buy the game.
So this isn't good if you're a completionist and really enjoys hunting trophies, because they won't go to your PSN ID.

• Primary Player (Pays 50%)
Paying more out of the three guarantees the primary player the right to set his console as primary.
This means that he gets to re-download the game anytime he wants and play with any PSN ID.

Same thing happened to me earlier today. I had 3 games from ebay which were sold as primary accounts.
Bloodborne, Little Big Planet 3 and Driveclub and all of them are locked now.
My Ps4 was in rest mode, i turned it back on and the lock was there.
The games were form different sellers so i doubt they have anything to do with it, must be sonys doing.

If it's possible to share a game with three people why are there only two types being sold on ebay?
The primary accounts, which i guess is the ghost player, since you can download the game only once and the secondary accounts.
I've never seen the "primary player accounts" who can play as primary and redownload being sold anywhere, so why is that?

My games still worked on 2.50.
Now that i think of it, they became locked the night when the clock in my country was set 1 hour forward. Not sure if coincidence or not.
