[quote name='dgwillia006']I seriously doubt Sony is gonna ban based from this website. Hell, i have had my Gamertag and PSN ID in my sig on some "Less than Legal" sites for years now.[/QUOTE]
That's because the topic is what it is. You start organizing things, you get way more people joining and it starts to take on a life of it's own. Right now the topic isn't affecting Sony too much and looks like a "At Your Own Risk" idea thanks to the scammers. There's also not enough members in the topic for them to waste their time on us, but if you make this the "go to" place for gamesharing, things could snowball really quick. Sony could be sitting back, collecting data and watching until they decide to pull the trigger on multiple sites for all we know.
Since people ARE posting their main PSN's like you, Sony can link your personal info with your CAG ID and take additonal steps, whether it be a ban or lawsuit in the future. Granted, this is an extreme scenario, but we already know how far Sony is willing to go over just one person. You're just sticking your neck out unecessarily by posting your PSN here, that's all.
I wish we'd just let the moderators handle the topic instead of calling people out, but that'd be too easy. Post/suggestions like this one are mean-spirited, and we forget this practice is frowned upon in the first place. The people that do repost or discuss things "off-topic" usually have good intentions anyway.
[quote name='Buuhan1']I thought gamesharing was legal? The OP quoting Sony's President (I think he isn't anymore, tho) is no longer true? Just how many people have actually been banned for gamesharing?[/QUOTE]
Everyone that gets caught, LOL! LizardKing1251 almost destroyed this topic not too long ago. I think the President also made that statement before the PS3 was released, or close to launch. It was a mistake to hype the PS3. Don't forget about the developers like EA and Activision either, for example.
