I suddenly lost access to my PlayStation account and all the games I’d bought just disappeared. No matter how many times I contacted support, nothing changed. Being locked out of my own library for months made me realise how helpless you can feel when the network goes dark. - Abdelrahman

My PlayStation account was hacked and I was told someone else now owns it. Losing access like that felt unbelievable, especially after years of purchases and saved data. What made it worse was being cut off from real help when I needed it most. - Mark

My PlayStation account was stolen, and the hacker charged hundreds to my credit card. I couldn’t reach a human for days, just automated replies telling me to wait. It’s been stressful and expensive, and I still can’t access what I paid for. - Emil

When my PlayStation account was hijacked, I lost all access and even my two-step verification was disabled. I kept calling and emailing, but weeks went by without a real update. It’s frustrating how powerless you feel when no one at PlayStation helps restore your connection. - Jarrad
