Banned for using photo mode psn

But even if this is enabled… there is no nudity in that game. And even if there was, they allow to sell it. It’s nonsense.
And even if… it’s just nudity. We are all naked right now posting these comments in the bathroom.
Everyone have seen a naked person even of it’s only OverHeat OverHeat mother.

That's the thing I did not share em I took shots of steller and the auto uploads on app flagged it and got me banned
I had 1321 games and all mostly paid for

Stay away from. Digital consoles
I can't speak for xbox the same way, I've experienced both platforms, they aren't the same. Nintendo, I'd say, is equally bad with Playstation.

I've been permanently banned from PlayStation Network for using the official photo mode in Stellar Blade. Apparently, the automatic upload feature flagged my harmless screenshots as explicit content.
Despite multiple appeals, Sony has refused to lift the ban. This has resulted in the loss of over £40,000 worth of games and complete access to my PSN account.
It's truly absurd that a simple use of an in-game feature could lead to such severe consequences.
Why in the world is a company removing you from access to your purchases? That should NEVER be a thing, no matter which TOS policy you violated (not saying you did, btw). Looks like Sony is looking for a class lawsuit.

Digital future, get used to it.

You weren't banned from PlayStation for that.

But you should be banned from GAF for that.

I was so excited to get the image, I thought my "spare" time would be sorted for WEEKS, if not MONTHS with how you described it. I was refreshing this thread every few minutes god damn it. Then what I see is not only crap, but also low effort cell phone photo of a TV.
You have disappointed me so much. Shame on you.

OP came through with the receipts everybody
Not proving my finances to anyone I'm not asking for a refund fs
Big wow I spend money on gaming
The images are what I took and 24 hours later I was banned
Without a email or any information for a week as it went under investigation and ban was not lifted and staying as it is
I've no reason to troll I'm not 6 years old
And have no gain for it
I'm making u aware that its possible to get banned for game in screen shots and that's what happened to me

Thanks for everyone who's put forward to help me
I'm not replying anymore unless I get a update

Wow, if Sony can ban your account over that... yeah, it really is time to FEAR the digital future. Sorry, but I'm NEVER buying a full priced digital game from PlayStation, ever.

Like when Sony deleted dozens of purchased movies from users' libraries?
Nothing will happen, we are just a toy and money printing machine for the companies.
What are you talking about, they got sued and have a class action running which just got worse for them with more people joining since they did the same to Funimation users (which is, BTW, a problem caused from physical purchases). Also, they renegotiated and extended people's licenses on the video content right after the backslash... It's only a Sony thing so far (well, Ubisoft did it and they're also being sued btw), it's not like it's a normal practice for digital purchases.

Edit: Here's more information:

Sony is the good guy for some people here and they won't believe that company could ban you for no good reason.

But this is nothing abnormal when bots and ai are making fucking decisions like that.

What is the worst is that Sony won't give a fuck untill you make it viral.
 
That really is nothing bad at all.
There is no possibility to take anything ban worthy. It's a fucking fully clothed anime game. There is no nudity. Even if there was... it's in the game so wtf.
you must've been hacked or something
Remember when Jaffe got temp banned for saying something about Ratchet n Clank character being a lesbian? That pic could possibly be interpreted as something similar, I guess?

Upload to where?
Edit: I see, Messager
Umm I can kinda see why as it's the messager.
but I find those screenshots more funny then anything else.
Sony being a little too strict.

Works both ways. Sony is the bad guy for some here and they will believe anything that puts them in a negative light. So that really isn't much of an argument either way, is it?

The OP was asked some very direct questions about what he said about "mostly" paying for his games and he didn't answer them other than to say something about "none disc classics". Asked about that and still, no answer.

The pics he posted don't seem to be enough to warrant a permanent ban. If that was all he did then yeah, it sucks and was shitty for Sony to do that. But if you are going to come here and post about this stuff then best to have your story straight. The OP was all over the place and he got a lot of pushback because of that.

Fully agree.

But only way to not pay for games on ps is to have jail broken console and I don't think consoles with old firmware like that can even connect to PSN?

Yeah that would be 100% ban.

Other than that sharing games via PSN accounts? But nothing "illegal" about that.

While stupid bots can make decisions like that. YouTube is full of people hurt by automatic systems.

Is op telling the truth? I don't know but if he is, ANYONE can be banned like that.

The world is just too barn happy at the moment. Famiboards will barn you for Elon Musk and Sony will barn you for Stellar Blade. Neither deserve a barning but that's just the world we live in right now.

"none disk classics"? What is that? Your writing/grammar changed again.

Why would posting a screenshot get you banned from NeoGAF?
Remember earlier when he said he couldn't access the photos because he was banned, now aparently he can access them.

So, let me get this straight, one can sell a game with an almost completely naked girl in it and allow you to take photos of her, but you're not allowed to take photos or else get banned? What the fuck is wrong with you, Sony?:messenger_grinning_sweat:

I agree. It’s pretty simple, post the original ban notice, post the response, post the pictures that “got you banned.” If OP had done that in the first place not many would have doubted him/her. OP was all over the place before posting the pics and still hasn’t really answered questions that were asked or taken advice to blow this up on social media. I believe OP might have stretched the truth a bit but that is just my opinion after reading the thread.

My takeaway is if you are going to come in hot like OP. Bring the proof upfront and don’t act shady (like suddenly having a different writhing style). That, or just post your warning to others that bans happen and move on. No big story or proof needed.

Regardless, I feel bad for anyone that loses their account. If it was me, I would probably take it to an attorney if I was really going to lose tens of thousands of dollars. If can afford that much each year on games it would definitely be worth it to pursue access to my account. Worst thing that happens is attorneys tell me to piss off. Best case, Sony eats crow.

That's something only happening in PS anyway, if that ever happens on PC you can swear to gods piracy levels will be on cocaine levels. Also, if this happened to more people even on consoles, you can smell a very expensive class action for Sony.
You almost definitely signed up for forced arbitration - sorry no class action for you.

Banned for uploading photos but you're not share the photos that got you banned?
