Shortly after the release of its latest PS5 game console, the manufacturer Sony shocked: thousands of players were banned.
That is the reason.
Sony
offers
the so-called "
PS Plus Collection
"
for the release of the
PlayStation 5
.
Some
PS5 gamers
take advantage of the offer and will therefore
money
deserve.
Now the group from
Japan is
swinging
the
ban hammer
mercilessly
.
Kassel - After Sony announced the price of the highly anticipated
PlayStation 5
in September
, the Japanese electronics company also presented the "
PS Plus Collection
".
This is a collection of
video games
that
are intended to make
the switch to the new
console
even more attractive for
customers
.
After some players mercilessly took advantage of this bonus and
wanted to make
money
with it,
Sony is
now
taking
rigorous action.
Playstation: Sony offers “PS Plus Collection” for PS5 players - that's behind it
But what exactly is behind the "
PS Plus Collection
"?
So far, the collection contains 20 games that “Playstation Plus” members can download onto the new console at no additional cost.
Including classics like “
The Last of Us
” and “
God of War
”.
It
is currently not known
whether the offer will be expanded to include more
games
.
Nevertheless, it should
be a nice thing
for
gamers
and PlayStation lovers.
But some players recently tried to capitalize on the
Sony
collection: As GamePro reports, some PlayStation 5 players have sold their access data to allow others to access the PS Plus Collection.

PS5 players are offering Sony collections on eBay - Playstation 4 owners benefit
Even if the
video games
offered
on the new
PS5 benefit
from improved loading times and more stable frame rates, it is possible to download the games to a PlayStation 4 * as well, as long as they have been previously
installed
on the
PS5
.
This is exactly what some gamers took advantage of.
Several PSN login details (PlayStation Network)
were available on
eBay
.
As reported by pcgames.de, the
game collection
was also available
as such on the Internet for around 7 to 10 euros.
In this case, buyers only had to provide the seller with their PSN data, so that the provider
only has to activate
the collection of
Sony
on the respective PlayStation account.
The buyers only needed an active
PS Plus membership
.
Sony reacts to trade in the PS5 collection: Thousands of PS5 owners are banned
For all PS5 players who already had a large amount of
euro
bills in mind, the plan backfired: The
sellers
now have to expect that their PlayStation
account
and the brand new
PS5
linked to it
will be
from
Sony for a
lifetime
Network is banned.
This means that in future many
services
on the
PlayStation 5 will
not be able to be used - even if they have already been paid for.
Thousands of PSN accounts have been banned, and according to community discussions, these accounts are concentrated in HK (@PlayStationHK), and have in common the receipt of Sony's PS Collection service for PS Plus, which contains serveral PS4 games for free.

Even with the
PlayStation Network
which can
console
no longer connect what online games makes it impossible and for providing that any
multiplayer
modes disappear in the future for affected players.
But that's not all: Once a console has been banned, even a new account is of no use, according to Sony.
Buyers,
on the other hand, should get away with a black eye and only be banned for two months.
