MattStation2 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 From what I've read online, people say you can, so I bought a subscription with my sub account. However, it's not letting me stream games. Have I been lied to? And if so, why would they let me buy a subscription in the first place? All responses are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavergray Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 So did you buy a subscription on the main account and are trying to play on the sub account? If so the main account has to play the psnow game first then all other account can stream the game. If you bought it on a sub account you may need to go and make your PS4 the primary PS4 for that account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the PS4 set as primary on my account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try to play PSnow on the master account? Since you used money from the master account it may have locked it to that account . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tried to stream LEGO Harry Potter on the master but it asked me to purchase a subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on Level 9, so I changed it to allow all ratings. However, the message is still appearing. Do the settings need more time to apply themselves?

The only way to change the date of birth on a PSN account is to call Sony to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to change the date of birth on a PSN account is to call Sony to change it. My real date of birth, which I won't share for privacy reasons. And I doubt Sony will allow me to switch my age. Regardless, I thank you for your responses. I will keep searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
