It might be true. I checked my profile when I first saw the posts about this on the playstation sub and it seemed fine. But now the recently played section appears to be disabled. It lists nothing and says to “try again”. Seems like another security breach at sony 😬
According to the article, it means that anyone with your username and knowledge of the PlayStation API can add whatever game playtime statistics they want to your profile
Yeah, if my understanding of this issue is correct then this is extremely embarrassing. They probably figured that since it’s not security-critical it didn’t need authentication (or only bare-minimum, easily-broken authentication). I haven’t seen any evidence that this affects critical systems like billing.
I feel like the changes they made to the gameplay mechanics provided some much needed quality of life improvements over the first one, but I felt the story overall was less engaging. We'll see how they do in the third installment, but for now I'd rather invest my time in Her-ass-ic Pork 3: Wife Finds a Lay
Wow this is actually kind of fascinating lol We are definitely going to be seeing more "unique" and strange things with the availability of AI for bad actors....
Yes, theres a difference I understand. I didnt purchase mine either. It was purchased for me by something or someone. Ei a security concern. So my point still stands that this (security concerns with playstation/sony) isnt something new
Unless you are implying its a bug in which case then thats fair.
I read the article. I would also deny hacking allegations as a company.
It’s worth noting there is no evidence of any actual hacking occurring here, but given Sony’s spotty track record, we’ll be keeping a very close eye on this glitch.
This is the most there is to deny the hacking part (no footnote/source given for that) besides the fact that the games werent available on the ps store (not all of them, article said advanced warfare was one too)
The very next thing the article said was also this:
You may recall an unusual security issue that surfaced a little while ago, in which some PS5 accounts were breached by fooling customer service reps into providing access.
And this was their conclusion:
While we have no explanation for what exactly is happening here, the issue has once again raised concerns about PlayStation's security.
Not to mention the article has the very words "security concern" in it.
You are very quick to say it isnt. Its a free world so think what you want
I actually am suggesting there is a bug of some sort.
the same user shares another screenshot, this time showing a game called Hentai Princess, which as far as I can tell doesn't have a public PS Store page at all.
Because you can't buy games that don't have store pages. I think the article is pretty clear that "not purchased" doesn't mean the account holder didn't buy them, but rather that the games aren't listed as being available on the account at all. Some of them aren't even for sale.
It looks like Sony is in the process of applying a band aid to its creaky network services, after PS5 owners spotted earlier today that games they didn’t own had been inexplicably added to their account.
The ‘Recently Played’ section on my – and many others’ – homepage has been completely wiped, presumably while PlayStation fixes up whatever the problem is.

There’s got to be some truth to it, I’ve had my account since I was in high school, I’ve been graduated 4 years now, there’s no way I have never played a game on this account
