Recently, numerous PlayStation Network (PSN) users reported sudden permanent bans from their PSN accounts without a clear reason. The issue arose from discussions on platforms like ResetEra and Reddit, with affected users stating they received messages from Sony citing a breach of the user agreement but no further explanations were provided. The implications of account loss are significant as users no longer have access to their digitally purchased PlayStation games, potentially losing thousands of euros' worth of content. As of now, Sony has yet to comment on the cause of these bans or the number of accounts affected.
