Yeah, that's soooo hilarious.

I don't understand the mentality of people feeling the need to type laughter at the expense of others. Actually, I do understand that mentality, but we won't go into that because that'll just get my comment flagged.

It is hilarious. People got caught cheating and are now trying to blame the system for their actions instead of taking responsibility.

I'm laughing at those who are guilty of wrongdoing that are trying to pass it off as though they did nothing wrong and SDS is to blame for their actions. If that isn't you, then my post wasn't directed at you. If it was you, well then....

Seemed to me you were saying that everyone banned is guilty of knowingly doing whatever they're accusing people of doing. Thanks for clarifying that though.

Edit: To clarify, your emoji filled comment was way too vague. The SCEA stamping that "banned" paper part of your comment represents something that was done unjustly to me.

Excuse the ignorant question here.

What exactly was the exploit? Even though you cancelled the transaction, you still received Stubs? I don't use that part of the game at all but I'm presuming you would know what happened and the system didn't do it correctly, right?

I remember back on the PS1 days with MLB:1999 (and old SDS game) that if you got close enough to another fielder and tossed him the ball, you could fling the ball in the air and if you caught it, the game would register an out. As a 9-10 year old boy, I knew it was wrong but I still did it because I thought it was funny and in my mind, I could justify it because the AI cheated me. I would consider THAT an exploit if it were in today's game and I was playing online.

You received double the stubs. So say you had a 20 stub order you received 40 stubs by cancelling twice.

I admit I don't buy or sell but Sony maybe standing on very weak grounds here.
So say I put in an order to buy. Then I see the cost goes up. I cancel my order on the ps4,
see it's still showing as an active order on my phone or pc, try to cancel again thinking it didn;t cancel correcttly the first time. Even if I did this multiple multiple times, is Sony claiming I (& everyone else) did this to defraud them, even if I had zero intent to do such? I think this has the potential to get very ugly for Sony. They may want to get some damage control going, as far as public perception. I smell a class action lawsuit coming.

They haven't exactly said yet, unless I missed it. A popular theory making the rounds is, as redsox4evur said, cancelling an order on the PS4 and also on the website would apparently give people double coins because it either didn't register on one device or it was just slow to sync up? It's unclear at this point.

But again, I think this is all still unconfirmed. I'd guess they're making sure they have things locked down before informing people what the details of the exploit were and how they (knowingly or not) triggered it.
