Huh?
Poor OP got his/her thread taken over by a completely different issue.
Sadly, this...Is it just me or does this feel like denial of service attack?
True - need a thread for current large outage I guess. That's going to swamp this thread otherwise.The OP was having connection issues like 13 hours before PSN went down. That was unrelated to what's going on right now. That was his/her own specific problem. Check the times of the posts.
Weird how the PS4 feels like it is broken when PSN is down. It may as well be an always-on device.

I have been having PSN issues as of yesterday morning like 3 am EST it has been sporadic with the PSN letting me sign in and use it then booting me I gave up at about 5am (10/1/2014). I pick up Shadow of Mordor today and play it fine no issues till about 7 pm
I take a nap and get up at 3 am and the PSN is doing the same exact thing so my problem is the same as the OP. I don;t however know if anyone else has had the same issues so maybe the thread did get jacked idk I feel though most people are OT.
Wait, so I remember the outrage about MS wanting to do this and Sony actually did it and no one said anything? This is the first time it's down like that but I cannot launch any game or app right now (all my games are digital).
Yeah it's seems to be cooked in Australia! Wanted to give Destiny a good run tonight.
Go to settings, network, and uncheck 'connect to internet'. I'm able to play digital games without a connection.
I did just that and get "Cannot start the application. Cannot connect the server to verify the license."

Is your PS4 set as the primary system for your account? Otherwise you can't play digital games offline.
Strange. Not having this issue at all and my PSN is down too. Was shadow of mordor partially downloaded?Got kicked out of shadow of mordor all my games are locked down. Didn't know psn games were online only.
PS Plus subscription fees are rising in select areas including South Africa: http://t.co/wUhGHCMFPL

So just to confirm the only game that's playable for me right now is the only game I own on disc, Yakuza Ishin. All the rest of my digital games are locked.
So is this shit for the players? I can wait as I just wanted to watch some shows in Netflix but I absolutely had no idea this shit could happen for offline games too.
Restoring licenses may helpSo just to confirm the only game that's playable for me right now is the only game I own on disc, Yakuza Ishin. All the rest of my digital games are locked.

Restoring licenses may help
You may want to set your PS4 as the primary console when the servers are back up.
They're not. Sounds like your primary console/licenses stuff isn't set up correctly.Got kicked out of shadow of mordor all my games are locked down. Didn't know psn games were online only.
When you're offline, none of the categories on the XMB display their content, no trophies, no profile, no store, no friends, no messages, no game icons, it's scary how in-your-face useless the console becomes in this state without the internet, at least the ps3 didn't look so empty on OS level, you could still look at your trophies, messages and listen to music and watch videos stored on the hdd.
Before this outtage my account was set as primary, I could play all my games with my other psn ID' too.
Will try to restore licenses when the servers are back up but this is scary.
Happened for me once on christmas PSN outage with Battlefield 4. Couldn't accsess the game even though I was playing on my primary account. Restoring license helped.Before this outtage my account was set as primary, I could play all my games with my other psn ID' too.

I noticed it took a while to get message sent notification yesterdayAnyone else been having small problems since for about 24 hours? This is still the first time everything has been down for me though.
Edit:
Beaten. Seems like something has been up
Is your ps set as the primary account? If not it won't load the games.Wait, so I remember the outrage about MS wanting to do this and Sony actually did it and no one said anything? This is the first time it's down like that but I cannot launch any game or app right now (all my games are digital).
Locked out myself too.
Got my console set up perfectly, share the account with my brother where we download games and pay half each but get 2 copies for the price of half of one.
No matter how its set up this SHOULD'NT be happening.
