Any new victims of getting their phantoms locked?

I went ahead and just pre ordered MKX on disc and will try getting my PS4 connected to the network to see what happens tomorrow. **fingers crossed**

 
I haven't been in this thread for a few weeks and am just now reading about the phantoms...I haven't played much PS4 lately but is there anything I can do to prevent them from being locked?

 
I'm willing to admit that I'm not exactly a trustworthy source as I'm a relatively new account with no gamesharing experience, but my (only) phantom is still accessible. The person holding the resell account hasn't logged into the account at all since the update, and doesn't plan to. Because of this, I lean towards the idea that, maybe, logging into the resell side, in some way, may lock the phantom.

 
I had a total of 3 phantoms. GTA V and COD AW were locked but resident evil is still kicking. Both locked at the same time but resident evil. I feel like no one really know what's going on and it's just speculation right now. I think the lock will stop with the next firmware update but we will see.
 
I lost my only two phantoms back when this first started. I do have four accounts, however, that I used to give a friend phantoms of games I was buying, and those are all still active for him. None of the accounts have been touched since we both installed the games.

This is something interesting. I had 8 phantoms all lock at the exact same time. Interesting to see some lock but not all.

Interesting that both me and your friend have active phantoms and the resell has not been touched. On the phantoms you lost, has the resell been touched post patch?

One of them definitely had, the other I can't say for certain as I don't recall who I bought it from.

 
It has nothing to do with the resell being logged into. I never logged in on my phantom demo account and obviously nobody else did either and one of them locked. The other one is still going strong however and that wasn't logged into either 

 
My brother finally lost his phantoms, he sent me a text. I explained what was going on as soon as it started, so he knew it was coming

I'd say he had 4-5 games.

As a last attemp on speculation..

For those that got some phantoms (but not all of them) locked, did any of the remaining phantoms locked eventually, or are they still working?

Usually, for what I have seen, phantoms tend to lock all at the same time, which makes us believe that once a system "makes the license check" it searches all the account , so the most strange cases are those that don't get them all locked, and might mean those phantom have some condition that prevent them to get locked.... that is only in the case they are still working xD

 
For those of you that are wondering why you have some phantoms that aren't locked, but your others are:

Chances are these aren't true phantoms. They're probably resell slots that have had the password changed, and the owner was planning to phantom when the next reset comes up.

This has nothing to do with two people logging into the same account at the same time, we've gone over this. People have had all their phantoms lost at the same time. I had 3 that were lost...my PS4 was on, they were fine, I restarted it and they were all locked. The odds of every resell owner logging into these accounts in that 10 seconds I had my PS4 off are astronomical.

This isn't Sony manually banning people, or a ban wave, or else it wouldn't still be happening. Companies don't do a two week ban wave, it happens usually in a couple days, and then it's over until the next one. Also, there's absolutely no way Sony is going to shift resources to have people assigned to just checking for phantom accounts. Do you know the costs that would be associated? They'd be losing more money doing that than they are from ebay sales. 

This has everything to do with the 2.50 update, we just don't know what. I could be intentional, it could be a glitch, the bottom line is: WE DONT KNOW. Every theory has been thrown out, tested, and debunked by someone. 

Please, I just beg you all...before you start saying you're sure of the cause behind this, take a few minutes to go back in the thread to make sure it hasn't been brought up.

For those of us thinking this is a glitch, all we can do is wait until the next firmware update to see if the issue is still happening.

Someone give this man a hot dog. Absolutely agree with everything said.

 
I'm leaning towards glitch since my 2.50 update install failed originally and is the same scenario with another person who still have their phantoms.  I rotate games and have my Vita on 24/7 but think we already prove that the game still locks even when your not playing the game.

Side note: Battle Island now supports trophies and is free to play if you like Clash of Clan type games.

 
Since it looks impossible to find a Bloodborne share here does anybody know if the digital downloads on ebay is legit? Almost same prices as here, sorry for off-topic!

Edit: Factor747 came to rescue and sold me his share, thanks!

Just to add to that, I have a small phantom that wasn't locked and I know for a fact that it's a true phantom with the resell playing on the account just about every day. Yet my other phantoms were locked weeks ago. So it's definetly the case that it's possible for some phantoms but not all to be locked at the same time.

There is a pattern to the locked games: they were phantoms.

If you have a phantom, it's going to happen to you.

It sucks, I'm sorry, I lost over $100 in games, so I totally get seeking for answers to make yourself feel better about your impending doom, but it's coming. Accept it. If you have any phantoms left, play them while you can. They will be gone soon.

Not yet. Still connected 24/7 with updates enabled... all 5-6 phantoms are still fully playable. Tried out Mortal Kombat this morning as soon as I woke up... it's pretty awesome :)

Sooo about MKX:

Normally the $19.99 Krypt unlock code would fall under "optional microtransaction" just like the Fatalities, but there was a patch implemented before launch that lowered the rate at which you earn tokens -- used to unlock Krypt features. Classic free-to-play model move. The $1.99 Blue Steel Sub-Zero unlock is partially justified by a "portion" of the pool going towards funding the "Who's Next Tournament," but come on -- a portion? It should be the whole damn thing when you're peddling this much DLC on top of a $60 game. At least you could say it was for the fans.

Wat. I get the "pay to skip"-DLC, but a patch to decrease the droprates to "motivate" the buyers to buy the DLC? Ohhh boy...

 
There are people on ebay who continue to sell primary accounts (phantoms), large number of games without getting negative feedback. 
I contacted some of them  and they assured me that it will not get locked. Is there some new method for creating phantoms or they are just ripping people off?

They are selling the last slot of those accounts for sure, unless they are offering the new releases like ds2 o mk x. Then they are doing something different

Ripping people off because it's a digital sale. PayPal and eBay will not refund that back to you because under eBay policy digital sales are not refundable.
