Sharing content from their game is getting their customers banned from online service. I think there is issue to be addressed.

I didn't realize that so many people are obsessed with necrophilia.
imo, Sony did the right thing, stuff like that must be banned. Just because you can doesn't mean you should any adult person should realize this.

but what i don't get is that showing in game nudity via the share options is banable, but sharing extreme violence isn't?
Surely if it is in this wierd world, then share should be disabled for the game if they are so worried?
Did you see the image? Look, if there was some decent reason for it, some context, fine. It's there to be sleazy and nothing more.
The number of people here not even attempting to understand what the OP did is mind-blowing.
He didn't just post it to his twitter, he posted it to his public shared PSN feed.
Sony don't moderate twitter, they moderate their own service.

Not really, Sony made the decision to ban people for it and Sony as well as ESRB made the decision to allow the game to be M rated when having nudity.
Either they talk with Sony or they remove those assets.
There's nothing to address as far as they're concern. Or do you want them to apologise ?

Are the people outraged because it's hairy?
Come on.

It seems totally reasonable. It's a completely realistic detail.
no doubt it's sleazy, however, I'm not sure how they would build in a content sharing block at that very moment. I'm sure it can be done, but it's probably not worth the devs time since any reprocussions would only be on the user and not the dev. Now, if it was a rated "T" or "E" game and this happened, then there would be hell to pay.
When you buy Watch Dogs 2 it doesn't automatically post closeup pictures of genitalia to PSN and twitter.You shouldn't ban people for posting game footage you approve and make money from.
It's not OP's fault if Sony doesn't have content warning/restriction to prevent situation like this.

Exactly my point. The game has a M mature then don't show shares from that game to children.No, it's not. The game has an M rating, meaning mature. Its content is not for everyone. I'm glad that there are games with mature content. That doesn't mean I'd subject children to it.
Note that if you use your PlayStation camera to broadcast your penis, they'll ban you, too.
Is this a joke?
Ubisoft made this and Sony is selling it.
How is the OP to blame?
It seems totally reasonable. It's a completely realistic detail.
That said, it's the sort of gritty detail that would be more at home in GTA, rather than a more upbeat open world like WD2's. I haven't played it yet so maybe it's grimmer than I expect.

It's literally a woman lying on the ground with her legs spread open and they obviously decided against her wearing pants or underwear because they thought it would be edgy.
Realistic details are great, but this is pretty deliberate. It's there to be there.
Nah I totally see the logic behind that. What I'm failing to see is a solid reason to be there in the first place.
It's subjective, really. I could see a lot of parents not caring about their kids seeing computer generated violence, but nudity is different. Yes, I realize that's also computer generated nudity, but if you think for one second that there isn't a difference to the mind of a parent, think again. The logic may not completely be there and I'm not saying it is, but it's arbitrary human culture.
Because he posted it to a public place. Ubisoft and Sony sell the game to private buyers for their own use.Why does it matter where he posted it?
Exactly my point. The game has a M mature then don't show shares from that game to children.
It's their burden to make sure people who don't want to get exposed to that kind of content doesn't, not the person sharing a picture from a game allowed to a close platform.
Broadcasting nudity using your camera I would be ok in being bannable, but even then it's a bit extreme when plenty of other social media has been dealing with that without banning users. A simple way for the poster or any viewer to mark the content as adult would suffice for instance.
When you buy Watch Dogs 2 it doesn't automatically post closeup pictures of genitalia to PSN and twitter.
Your argument is like saying you can tell people to fuck off in a PSN message because you hear it all the time in the games you play on the same console.
Update:
I got an email 30 minutes ago telling me that my ban is now 1 month because of a violation today. Bare in mind that I was banned yesterday and have not been able to make any new uploads since the ban and the only thing I'd uploaded in months was the single image this thread is about.
I'm really disappointed right now.
I see you're trying to minimize it by saying the sequel is more upbeat but that's still silly. If you can expect this to be in GTA then it's fine to be here as well.
You're describing the context of the image, not of that character's model. That character's model is evidently "realistic prostitute". The developers designed her based on that remit as they saw fit. Someone in this thread has already attested that crotchless knickers are something prostitutes really wear.
FTFY
So complaining about Sony on GAF is now ban worthy? Fuck them. Fully clothed, of course, don't want them to get mad.
It's the same in as much it's obviously going to offend others.No, that's verbal abuse, not at all the same.
I don't watch Game of Thrones but if it's something that's obviously going to offend others in a public place, yes.Would you be ok if Sony were banning people for screenshotting the "shame" scene in GOT when they're selling it to you?
The tos is stupid that's what I'm saying.There is the question of whether restricted accounts can still see shared content from M rated games.
Regardless, it's still against the TOS, even if they can't.
Is that something the OP could have chosen not to do or does that happen when you share, regardless?
IDK how PS4 sharing works.
Does it need a big reason to be there? The game also has people pissing in an alley with their dicks out.It's literally a woman lying on the ground with her legs spread open and they obviously decided against her wearing pants or underwear because they thought it would be edgy.

Good question. Isn't twitch forbidding nudity? What happens when you enter a stripclub in GTAV while streaming?So if someone was streaming this game and they came across a vagina would they be suspended too?

There are multiple levels of the Share functionality of the system. You use the Share button to record videos and take screenshots, which then reside on the HDD. You can then transfer these to a USB drive and put them on your computer and do whatever you want with them.
However, you can also link your PSN to your social media accounts like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, and then use the Share function to share your videos or screenshots directly to those sites, or livestream via Twitch, through PSN. When you do this, it also makes a post to the What's New section of the PS4 menu that you have shared a video/screenshot or are broadcasting live, which is a public feed viewable by your friends/followers. I think it may also have a chance of showing up in the given games overview section, which is presumably viewable to anyone. This is the problem the OP encountered, it seems like, since he shared the screenshot with nudity through the system infrastructure which posted it to that public What's New feed.

So can we expect to find dongers in this game as well?

Yes, it's more likely to offend and embarrass multiple people.Telling people to fuck off is targeting and verbally abusing specific people.
Sharing a picture of a M rated game through usual means for no one in particular is different.
Do you have any proof of people reporting an extreme closeup of one of these offensive things and it not being acted upon?Violence isn't going to offend others in a public place?
Because I don't recall BF1/COD/AC/FC/TF and hundreds of other games being censored.
The Baby in P.T wasn't going to offend people? Yet the game was specifically designed to be played with others.
Sony didn't broadcast this publicly, you choose to watch the stream. If someone in a shop shows the stream, they're responsible if it offends somebody in their shop.Naked Norman Reedus in the Death Stranding trailer at E3 (broadcasted by Sony themselves throughout the world) is ok?
extending the ban to a month because he dared to talk about it is fucking childish.
Wait people are actually defending Sony?
Fucking wow.
