This has been ninja patched and/or tweaked so that you cannot attempt thisWell hear me out now..
User 1: signs in, primary, installs game, plays offline.
User 2: signs in, deactivates previous console, primary, installs game, plays offline.
User 3: does what user 2 does.
... loop user 2's method a million times.
And it'll work. Essentially, that is what a locked spot is, isn't it?
Though unlike before where you could only reset the activations once in 6 months from the web browser, now you can do it anytime from any ps4.
When you deactivate another ps4 from a ps4, it doesn't check to see if the previous ps4 is online... it just deactivates it.
So, a million times would probably raise a red flag, but 3-5 times? Seems harmless
Believe it happened in 4.51 or .52(the patch right after the "Change to this PS4" option became available) but Sony caught onto this, now if you go attempt this you get a different message that just TL;DR's into go deactivate Online (6month wait method)
Was sharing a Main acct with a good friend till they patched it (new patch resets activation of Users you dont use to apply/DL the patch so you lose your off-phantoms)
It sucks but now its basically back to how Sony killed GS-ing on PS4. so its not much of a change for the Vets here, but is so for the newcomers.
