The problem is the automatic downloading of saved data etc.
I have no way of testing this now but it must be a new feature that when the ps4 goes to pull saved data off the ps4 off your system it sees the saved data tied to a phantom account.
So it locks it.
Seems like the most plausible reason.
For those of you who STILL HAVE your phantoms, do you have this option active or not?

I have 2 phantoms and they are still functional. I haven't messed with any settings since the new update, and the only settings I ever touched are the power save settings, I never touch anything else, so default settings for me. I also never turn my ps4 completely off and always use the resting option. Hope this helps somehow.
That and the fiance is getting dental work done tomorrow.. gonna be $200 we don't really have, so in turn I can't spend another $22 that we don't really have.
Sucks because I traded in Dragon Age Inq, Far cry and Sleeping Dogs definitve. Bought a bigger HDD, and use the remainder funds to pay for my Bloodborne and Borderlands phantoms.. which I no longer have,
I lost 5-6 games via upgrading my HDD, and now I'm out another 2 phantoms because of this.. so I'm down to basically destiny and PS+ games on my PS4.. and Unity & Lords of the fallen which I have on disk.
Gonna ask again, could doing something from the resell side be locking out the phantoms after the update? BL THC still works for me (has since the 23rd) on a phantom and the resell hasn't touched the account, and doesn't plan on it either.
I've got 8 phantoms on my PS4 right now. I have used suspend and resume several times and I still have access to all of my phantoms so far. I've never changed any settings in my system except for network settings, so I'm across the board defaults on downloading and uploading and all that.
This kind of thing is why I've largely switched to rentals (shoutout to my boy QDiz) unless something is just a real good price on sale or something. I can generally clear a game fast enough to spend less than $10 on a 3-5 week rental and there's no chances of this kind of weird stuff happening.
Jupst saw on my country's fb gameshare page, that the backup options ruins the licenses on your ps4. Maybe the users who lost phantoms tried that option?
until the end. They got lazy and just threw it together at the end. I got the last 3 trophies in like 4 minutes. They were VERY abrupt with the ending...
Really sucks to hear about the phantoms that folks have lost. I thought I had it bad when my DA:I auto updated from 1.02 to the 1.05 update [even when I have auto download off], but losing access to full games [recent ones too like Bloodborne and BL] is way worse.
Even though I no longer socially post on the thread anymore for reasons known to most I see alot of you guys got hit hard with the phantom pain by psn. Due to most of you guys loosing your phantoms especially those who lost out big due to the bigger titles dropping recently I decided to extend my services a bit.
Until further notice my timeshares will be 8 days. and 9 days for regulars. Everyone knows who they are.

I don't want to be a Raiborg and be a douche about this, but I have some bad news to report about a gamesharing member. Unfortunately, it seems as if Deidara may be gaining review codes from developers, and selling them for a profit. While there's nothing in the rules of the site that say this is something that can't be done, it's a very big no-no. Devs send out review codes in an attempt to generate buzz for their game, not so some shady person can make a few bucks. This may no have anything to do with gamesharing, but we're talking about a member's character and ethics here, which are very important in a community that requires trust in its members.
If you're curious, you can read more here:http://dan-adelman.com/post/114584204446/my-very-first-experience-with-a-scammer
The article details how this came to be, as well as the evidence against Deidara.
Edit: In addition to the above, it would appear that Deidara is now deleting all posts that reference him selling these codes. There are several posts that were quoted by other members of this site, but trying to find that post turns up no results.
Wow lol. How embarrassing! And now CAG has gained even more attention (notoriety?). I hope Cheapy doesn't see this or we could be looking at a bigger problem for the gs community.
Hey Guys I have a bit of a noob question about sharing. I am about to let someone access a phantom, and I have the account I built activated as my primary PS4. Do I need to deactivate it as my primary before giving them the info? And also how would I go about deactivating them once I am back on my console?
Sorry for the noobness, but I do not want to mess this up or cause a lockout for this person.
Looking for Gta V (resale), Ghost w/ the season pass (phantom or resale), and/or 2 Battlefield Hardline (ps4- phantoms). And my son lost a Dying Light phantom to the update, but his others still work great; even after shutoffs, standy- bys, and system resumes... Go fig???
With people losing alot of phantoms; would this make the prices drop for phantoms- i mean like the ratio when someone is setting up a share group?
I don't understand why it locked. You downloaded it, I deactivated you and then you said it locked? You must of logged back into the bloodbourne account. You messaged me saying you want your money back? I don't mind giving u ur money back but just make sure you don't log into the phantom account next time.
I still have my one and only phantom, Bloodborne. At night sometimes I'd leave my ps4 on and it would turn off by itself and when I go to work I turn it off instead of putting it on rest or suspend. I doubt it has anything to do with that, but hey.
I'd like to get to the bottom of it as well. This whole thing could really affect the way we do gamesharing.

Not sure i would be so nice about it. Follow the phantom instruction and if you dont, well too bad; if you indicated that everything was good and then i reset and the locked was because of you or the update....i wouldnt give a penny back. Thats just my take on that situation though ^.^

I know it's not my fault but I don't think he has been a phantom before and I didn't tell him that logging into the account would lock it so I kind of feel bad about it.
I wonder if it has anything to do with how long the console is off/resting. I was playing my console roughly every night (about every 24 hours), but then I skipped a night and played the next morning (about 36 hours had passed) and that's when I noticed the lock.

I'm fairly sure they're talking about their account becoming locked like everybody else... though their english is not so good, I feel they are looking for reasons why their account is now locked after the update.

It is strange that it's not just the update as people have said their phantoms were fine for days after the update was installed and locked later on.
I wonder if it has something to do with that automatic upload of save files to the cloud.. Maybe the ppl who's phantoms locked had space in their cloud for the save files.. Who knows. Sounds like it's still happening to people..

Changing password is worthless as long as the buyer uses sleep/rest mode. We made lot of tests, each time the license was lost. But after 2.50 even sign off + shut down aren't safe.
