Shakilrahman96 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 So.... long story short my lying, cheating, back stabbing b*tch of an ex girlfriend of 3 years has broken up with me and we just so happened to do a lot of trophy hunting together. I personally own a PS3 and a PS Vita system. So that is 2 devices under my name officially.However my ex girlfriend also owns a PS3 and a PS4 which are both logged into my account. Due to the fact I used to trust her a lot I gave her my details so that she could nick any games or DLC I got for games on the PS3 and the PS4 as well as buy a game or two if she so pleased. However due to obvious complications I am in a position where she is logged into my account on her PS3 and PS4 system and has no intention of deactivating them.I changed my PSN email and password and removed my credit card details temporarily while the situation resolves itself. Is there any way to deactivate her devices online or MUST it be done manually? because if manually is my only option I am in deep trouble here. Is her failing to comply technically illegal by any chance? If so I have no problem taking legal action, she already cheated on my twice so far I really don't need to put up with this crap and have her potentially ruin the one thing that keeps me occupied during my free time which is gaming.Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskdocx Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 If you have changed your log in details and removed your credit card, is there really anything she can do at this point? I know there is a limited number of devices you can attach to one user name, but isn't is 3 PS4's, 3 PS3's and 2 Vita's? Once you change your login info, she will no longer be able to access your account on her console, so will no longer have access to any new content, only that which is already installed, and she won't be able to play under you username. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boooda Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I'm 99% sure PS4 deactivation has to be done physically. Unless that's changed since the last time I looked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priere Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Follow the Link's steps that Kubanga mentioned and your problem will be solved EDIT: All systems can be deactivated through the PC method, but you are only able to use it once per 6 monthes (i think that's the time limit).

Yea but I don't own a PS4... So wouldn't her PS4 technically be considered MY primary PS4 now too? looks like I'll have to deactivate all my devices online just to sort out this problem, ugh this is so annoying... thanks anyway guys for the help.

That may be true, but if the OP does get a PS4 and his ex girlfriend has his account as her PS4's primary account, he would lose a few benefits which include.... Playing on a non-primary/activated account: Will not be able to play any Digital game bought on the account, no matter what digital game purchased it is UNLESS you are online and signed into your account at all times while playing, none of your other accounts/profiles on the Future-PS4 of yours will have the PS+ benefits or access to your main account's games. And i'm pretty sure there are other small problems too. Edited December 23, 2015 by YaoiGod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i'm pretty sure there are other small problems too. Not sure I fully follow this - if he does buy a PS4, and activates it as his primary, surely that automatically deactivates the previous PS4. I mean, consoles are gonna die, you cannot tell me that Sony has set it up such that you have to have access to the original PS4 for all eternity?

Shakilrahman96 Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Got my friend to contact her there and she seemed to have listened to that, she said she's gonna do it tonight or tomorrow but we will wait and see. I am not tolerating any games from her like, I just want her gone in peace and have my account back to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, consoles are gonna die, you cannot tell me that Sony has set it up such that you have to have access to the original PS4 for all eternity? That is the problem, you cannot activate an account on a PS4 if it is already activated on another PS4 system, it must either be deactivated directly from the currently activated PS4 system or through the PC method, activating an already-activated account on a PS4 does not deactivate the previous system, it will tell you straight up to deactivate from the current system first. And, this may help with the device activation system numbers or whatever, if any of you are interested. https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/get-help/help-library/my-account/device-activation-deactivation/about-device-activation/ And again, Sony doesn't tolerate game/account-sharing anyway; If you are going to do it, you must take responsibility for your actions (such as not being able to activate your account on a PS4 because you don't have access to the PS4 it already is activated on).

I'm not sure if there is limit on on how many ps3s you can link your account, but you can access your downloaded items from ps store only on 2 ps3s at once. Does ps4 let you activate new ps4 as primary if there was one already? To op: I think best would be that you deactivate all systems from sonys website. Just be careful with accounts for next 6 months if you do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only have one Vita activated under your username. Ask anybody here that owns a vita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Remilia Scarlet Posted December 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2015 This is why you don't give your account information to ANYBODY, no matter who they are or how much you trust them. Fuck their feelings on the matter, there's a reason Sony tells people not do this, and this situation is exactly why. I hope you learned your lesson from this little incident. You're lucky she didn't royally fuck you over. Don't do this in the future and you won't have this issue. Also, just a side note: what you did is illegal and Sony could permaban you for doing it. Giving your information to another person so they can access free content is against the law and robs the developers of money they could have gained. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, i don't know if the page writer was cracked up when they got to the Vita, PSP and PSTV sections on that matter...Since he posted just before that, that you can only have one PSN account activated on one PSV account at one time. So, that can only mean that you can activate your account on two vitas, but the vitas can only have one account at one time, or the page writer was killed mid-way writing it.

Priere Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) I have three Vita's activated under my account though... One of the three systems has it activated for Video uses, you can have two for games and seven (shared across PSP, PSV, PSTV and XPERIA devices) for video uses.

Let me be clear. I believe you are wrong. You can only have one user ID attached to any given Vita - you cannot have 2 different users sharing a Vita.

Never knew it was illegal, that is strange seeing how for example, if a husband and wife lived under the same roof they're hardly going to be buying the same game twice, seems like a stupid rule if you ask me but I won't do it again. No doubt about it that if I wasn't quick changing my account email and password she would have fucked me up, if she can cheat and drop me like I'm nothing after 3 years sabotaging my PSN is child's play...
