Sony allegedly banned players who abused the PS Plus Collection

There are some reports that some players who abuse the PlayStation Plus Collection are getting banned. People who are banned got the following message when they try to login to the Sony's website "Access to PlayStation Network by this account has been temporarily suspended due to policy violations. An email with more details will be sent to the email address for this account. Also refer to the PlayStation Network Terms of Service and User Agreement.".

This story was been first reported from a Facebook page Nmia 尼未亞. This should be taken with a grain of salt as the information was a collaborative report from players who experience getting banned after claiming the PS Plus Collection from another person's PS5.

UPDATE as of 11/26/2020 @ 3:53PM: It turns out that the banned is not triggered by activating the PS Plus Collection but rather from a defense mechanism of the PlayStation Network that protects the console and the account from being hacked or abused. Nmia 尼未亞 says "When there is more than 50 different accounts logged in to a console, and makes purchases from PS store of other region, the system will detect and determine it as being hacked. The account will be banned for 2 months, while the console will be permanently banned. Currently it is being negotiated at the customer service if there is any turnaround to the situation, but joint purchasing is indeed violating the rules and regulations, and the mechanism existed to protect the hacked account from being further abused."

Since getting Sony's next gen consoles is extremely difficult, players are looking for ways to get that extra perks from a PlayStation 5 unit, and that's the PS Plus Collection. The perks includes 20+ FREE games which you can also play in PS4, it only requires a PS Plus subscription and an activation login to any PS5 unit. 

Following is the list of FREE games. 

  • Bloodborne
  • Days Gone
  • Detroit: Become Human
  • God of War
  • Infamous Second Son
  • Ratchet and Clank
  • The Last Guardian
  • The Last of Us Remastered
  • Until Dawn
  • Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
  • Batman: Arkham Knight
  • Battlefield 1
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops III – Zombies Chronicles Edition
  • Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
  • Fallout 4
  • Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition
  • Monster Hunter: World
  • Mortal Kombat X
  • Persona 5
  • Resident Evil 7 biohazard

There are some players particularly in Hong Kong who reported that their account is being temporarily banned after asking their friend who has a PS5 to login for their account to claim the PS Plus Collection. Whereas those PS5 units that have been repeatedly used to activate those accounts receives permanent banned. 

Some of them contacted Sony's support, they got a response saying that the ban is not permanent, but just temporary and it will last up to 2 months. So far, no information added on what is the cause of the banned.

The reason for the ban is likely from an abused or repeatedly using their console to activate the PS Plus Collection. Either from a service in a grey market who makes extra money or simply from a group of friends helping each other to claim the perks. However, we see no problem on claiming the perks from one to five different accounts as logging on the same PS5 within the family members is perfectly normal and allowed. Of course, it should be in the same region.

A Comeback Story: Crazy Kart heads back to the Racetrack

Who says cuteness and competitiveness cannot go together?

Without a doubt, Shanda Group was the leading online game developer in China by early 1999. They are the ones who developed the cute but highly competitive game called Crazy Kart that once touched so many hearts, including the Filipinos. On July 31, 2013, with a heavy feeling, Shanda Group finally had their last race and let Bakal Boy, Tweetums, Sid, and other characters maneuver on their own. #DriveFree

When Shanda Group licenses CrazyKart overseas, various countries in Asia availed of the franchise, including the Level Up! Games, the Philippines' forefront of successfully localizing foreign games such as Ragnarok Online, RF Online, Flyff, Cabal Online, and immeasurably more.

Nowadays, when somebody mentions "CrazyKart," it sounds like jargon. But from 2008 to 2013, Crazy Kart is widely known in the Philippines, and it is seemingly one of the reasons why high school students in the country cut class. Not emphasizing the unfavorable impact of this game, but to give a clear manifestation that this game dominates back then.

Out of longingness for the competitive gameplay, In 2018, Shanghai Longwan Network Technology Co., Ltd. reached out to Shanda that their company is more than excited to take over and has decided to bring CrazyKart back to life from a 5-year death.

Shanda's game licensing agreement that the game developers and online racers care about is successfully signed. Therefore, game development is continuous under the new management of Shanghai Longwan Network Technology Co., Ltd.

To somehow ease the anxiety brought by the Covid-19, Here's a piece of good news. The server is up and running smoothly! Even if it is a China-based game, there is a character named Bakal Boy waiting for you in-game and a racetrack called Pinas where you can compete intensively around the Mall of Asia while listening to Tsuper Duper by Ang Bandang Shirley. How cool is that?

The in-game ambiance appears to be adorable like Cocomelon or as soft as a marshmallow, but "After you" is not a thing here. No matter how low your level is, whether a sprout or a king, still, your opponents are traitors that will not give any consideration. They can charge destructing unique skills that will take you behind them from a 100-kilometer lead. So, be ready to fall, jump, drift, spin, and fly!

Now, are you mystified how Bakal Boy and the Pinas racetrack look? Why don't you try playing the game and see for yourself? There are a lot of updates coming. Nevertheless, the server is percent playable 24/7.

"The Holy Ground War is set in the country of Lakh, split by two factions Hawk (freedom advocators) and Doves (peace advocators). These two factions are often in conflict with each other.", dev answered.

What went on in the team's mind when creating this new mode?

  • Siege Cart – only when your own units are nearby will it move forward, otherwise it will retreat or go unused. It is invincible.
  • Shop – Adventurers can get Gold Coins by defeating enemy units. Tap on the Base or the Shop button near the Base to open the shop and exchange equipment.
  • Portal – Adventurers can quickly teleport to the corresponding route by tapping on the portal on the offensive or defensive route; (the offensive route requires destroying the enemy's Defense Tower to be activated)
  • Wild Zone – there are a wide range of wild zones in between offensive and defensive routes. The wild zones will refresh a variety of MVPs with different effects. After a force kills an MVP, the MVP will refresh on the force line to improve the force's strength.
