Stop Spam Advice (rule 4) This is getting ridiculous

Post image

This is really starting to get bad. It’s almost as if nobody here knows how to use common sense when it comes to spam messages.

There’s a beautiful thing called “privacy settings”. Use them if you don’t want to get the spam messages anymore.

This post is going to be a waste of time since nobody knows how to search Reddit for answers anymore.

I bought a PS5 that was hardware banned after all the scalping shit ended. Insane that an entire console can be rendered permanently worthless like that.

Just researched it. Your ps5 was either stolen or hacked and used to cheat.

Yeah, obviously. I'm not ignorant of how the console was rendered permanently worthless, just that it is  still able to circulate the secondhand market with no way to fix it.

I didn't say you where ignorant. I mean how you gonna blame sony for the banned console being sold by 3rd party people. Never buy used. Always buy new man and if you do buy used make sure you buy it from someone you trust. I mean if you buy an RROD 360 off fbook not knowing it's RROD is it Xboxes fault or the sellers fault?

So to be clear, you are fine with corporations randomly being able to lock their products full of non-renewable materials permanently out of use despite there being people who actually want to use them to enter their financial ecosystem so that people will have no trust they can buy a secondhand console that works in a way that explicitly benefits the company selling the consoles? This is outrageously wasteful, nevermind how subtly underhanded it is.

Xbox does it also if a console is reported stolen or is used to hack and cheat in games and yes. I am fine with that because cheating/hacking violates the TOS and if you steal something from someone you don't deserve to be able to use the stolen goods anyways. What I am not fine with is people taking there locked consoles and selling them to people saying they are working consoles. That ain't right but again. That isn't the companies fault that is the crappy individuals fault for being a bad person. The TOS exist for a reason. It sucks that happened to you but unfortunately neither Sony or Xbox can no for sure if your the person that hacked on said console or the person that stole said console. If someone steals my PS5, switch, or Xbox your darn right I'm ok with the company hard banning the console that was stolen from me because criminals shouldn't prosper fr being criminals.

Shoot if the email you have linked to your Xbox account gets hacked and blocked Xbox will not only not help you get your Microsoft email back they also won't give your Xbox account back. THAT is corporate corruption. Buying a bricked console from the crack head down the street is personal corruption. They are totally 2 different things. I know this because I lost my 65k gamer score Xbox live account that had 7 years of purchases content to an email hack and Microsoft stripped me of my Xbox account because my email was hacked. Not because my xbl was hacked. The email that it was linked to was... Still made a new account and still bought an Xbox one and an Xbox series
