If this were to happen to my Steam account even if just for a few days, I'd never purchase a game that's not 100 % DRM free ever again and I'd also pirate my whole library.
I don't know Sony, you're kind of messing things up lately.

Not sure lately is the right term here.

Thank you for posting this! I will never forget this and avoid Sony products like the plague exactly because of this.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Many PlayStation Network users reported Monday that their accounts were unexpectedly permanently suspended.
“This account is permanently suspended from PlayStation Network due to violations of the PlayStation Network Terms of Service and User Agreement,” Sony said in a message to one user.
A user on Reddit reported getting a similar message, and a look at PlayStation accounts on Facebook and Instagram shows dozens of people who’ve received similar notices in the last few hours.
I’ve also seen reports from the gaming forum ResetEra and from Verge readers who wrote into our tips inbox.
Some who have received these suspensions are understandably distraught, as they may have spent a lot of money on digital PlayStation games that they no longer have access to.
I booted up my PS5 and was able to jump into Baldur’s Gate 3 and Fortnite just like I normally would, and I was also able to log into the iOS PlayStation app without seeing a ban.
