I found a vagina in Watch Dogs 2 and Sony suspended me (Update: Ban lifted)
- Thread starter Goron2000
- Start date
So Kotaku, Polygon, EuroGamer, PC GamesN, GameInformer...
I remember back when Senran Kagura Estival Vs came out and they had the changing room glitch Sony just had sharing for the game disabled. Not sure if it ever got re-enabled after that.
If Sony wants to punish the gamer instead of the developer, that's a damn slippery slope.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.

The answer is Sony, of course - but surely then, it is incumbent on Sony to provide clearer guidance on what is and is not acceptable conduct? You can safely share an image of a game character shot in the head or cut to pieces (looking at you, MK).

I'm all about destroying taboo, but instead of thinking that every parent concerned must be an hipocrite, don't you think that parents have the right to hold accountable Sony for what they let share from a M rated game? You're dismissing the problem, but that weakens your argument imo. If people are of the appropriate age, let them watch sex or violence if they so choose. You saying that children have already had thge opportunity to have seen worse, goes against that.
Also, I generally agree with your considerations about the sex taboos, but the upskirt view on a passed out woman may not be the best chance to fight those. Just sayin'...
If he was banned already, what other reason would there be?
Next stop: product recall.

Yes. It didn't jump from a week to a month by itself.
you will get banned here if you post NSF pics in thread.... stand to reason you will get banned for posting them on PSN.
They gave him week which is kinda reasonable, but then day later extended it to month. Only "online activity" between original ban and extension was basically creation of this thread.

In any case month for something like this is just ridiculous and so out of proportion.
Difference is, the pic the OP took is an ingame asset. Do you think that equates to searching for a NSFW pic and posting it here?
It kind of did happen after news sites began to pick up on this thread. It's also hard to think of a reason for why his ban would be expanded.

What the fuck
Incoming AO rating.
They'll probably triple down when a psn moderator from another area sees it. The same action will end up getting stacked bans and the account will be permanently banned if their customer service quality matches it's reputation.

It's not that kids won't ever see this kind of stuff, it's about how much we want them to see this. Personally, I don't think it's healthy to introduce sex and prostitutes to young children just for the sake of it. It gives them wrong impressions of how a sexual relationship works and how to treat women. We are affected by our environment. If I see sex all the time, I will think more about it than if I didn't. Why would you willingly show a kid something if it's unnecessary at that age? Making a higher barrier for porn is not just about being paranoid and overprotecting, it's about introducing these elements at the appropriate time.
"Will someone please think of the children?" It's a bit more complicated than that like I said. Also, I think you're being a little hyperbolic here by going for a very low age of 10 and saying that kids have masturbated thousands of times before that age. The average age for puberty is 11 for girls and 12 for boys and masturbating thousands of times would take many years at even if they did it twice a day.

har har. I agree completely with the poster though and will not buy another Sony product if this crap stands. Last straw for me. They're going too far.
The first ban was dumb enough but then he gets an extension on the ban somehow even though he's already banned? How does that work? It doesn't work at all for me.
Some start earlier than others.

The ban came from Europe, not even America? Lmao, sorry OP.

Can you imagine if this had been found in one of the GTA games back during their PS2 heyday?

What if you streamed the game over live on playstation and are just doing your thing, murdering civilians, but suddenly a vagina appears on screen? would that be bannable?
or just a still picture?

Sure, maybe they should. Especially since common sense isn't always so common. In those cases I don't think Sony would ever ban you for sharing that kind of content - content that was known and rated for the platform. Sony clearly didn't know this was in the game, and OP clearly knew it wasn't supposed to be in the game -- and yet he shared it publicly over PSN, and some people, maybe didn't want or expect to see that when they logged onto PSN. I think he exercised poor judgment; either he didn't know Sony had a report function and moderation team, or he thought that was okay to share. And maybe it could have been OK to share... but Sony disagreed, obviously.

Well if you have an issue with it, then maybe you're next in line for a PSN vacation! Sony won't be pushed around!!! 😂

These "services" are a joke.
Hope they get shamed over this.
You should post a new screenshot of the vagina everyday until you get unbanned.

He was tagged when he was a junior.
You scared me for a second. I've had this tag since I was a junior in the long, long ago. It's kind of confusing but i'm quite fond of my status as best junior.
Yeah, I cracked up when that first poster said something along the lines of "Why would you have panties with a huge hole in them in the first place?".
I honestly wondered if that was some kid posting from that account.
Not a perfect copy/quote as I haven't gone back to it, but I laughed out loud in my office.

Oh, OK; I didn't realize it.
But yeah, it's insane. First a week ban, now a month? Jeez. What exactly do they want?

Wow this is BS, OP doesn't deserve this
Microsoft should send this guy an Xbox One S, a month live card, and the game. They've been killing it on pr already, so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't already in motion.
But the shift from one week to one month is a little silly. Hopefully the noise about the situation brings some clarity.

Live in your world. Play in ours as long you don't share the naughty bits.

"Watchdogs 2 with vaginas, only on Xbox" would be hilarious, but I assume ubisoft will patch every version

This gonna be Hot Coffee 2.0 isn't it?
You're looking for correlation where there doesn't have to be any.
What if someone higher up than the initial rep reviewed the case, and decided a week for posting a vagina wasn't enough?
The second note even says a moderator looked into it.

Wow. I thought this whole thing was a joke when reading the title this morning. I hope it's not going to be Hot Coffee all over again.
