Primary ps4 activated elsewhere!? Was russia!

[Johnx64]

A couple months ago my ps4 popped up a msg about not being activated as my primary ps4. I tried to activate it as my primary but it said I couldn't I needed to deactivate it on the other mystery ps4 to enable it on the only ps4 I use. Googled and found others having same problem and thought nothing of it maybe a patch will fix it since that was the only time I had a problem. Fast forward to today. I try and remote play on my vita but instead of connecting to my ps4 in the living room I am now logged into some russian playing The Evil Within. I lose connection and think wtf must have been a glitch. Now for some reason remote play doesn't work so i'm trying to figure it out next thing I know I'm back on the russian ps4. He goes into the menu and restarts his ps4. Still trying to figure out wtf is going on it dawned on me that this must be the other ps4 my account is activated on since it's not connecting to mine. I keep trying to remote play and when I finally connect again I was able to deactivate my account on it. I quickly reactivated it on my ps4 and changed my psn password.

I tried to record what I could but it's blurry and hard to see.

I wonder if this was a scam perpetrated from this Russian, or some glitch with Sony's account system.

Damn. What a story. Do you own Evil Within? Were you able to see his/her trophy progress on your PS4. Tell us more.

No I don't have evil within. With a vita you have remote access to a ps4 I could have done anything on it including wake it from sleep mode hell I probably could have done a factory reset but the second I deactivated it from being my primary ps4 it disconnected me. If you google ps4 being activated as primary on another ps4 there's a lot of complaints of the same thing happening to other people I might just be lucky to own a vita and being able to remotely access that ps4 to deactivate myself from it. To use a vita on the ps4 you go into settings and the ps4 generates a code to enter in the vita. It searches the local network for the ps4 system then it searches over the internet. I was using the vita a few days before this happened to play with my son so I don't know how or what happened.

That's awesome. Also there's a remote play app for android that gets leaked around and a remote play PC that someone has been working on but I think is charging for it. Sony is releasing an official windows app soon.

That's crazy man, at least you figured it out and fixed it. I gameshare with friends on Xbox one and ps4 so I really don't have to worry about this since I know where my home system is activated

How exactly goes Gameshare work? You just are logged into a friend's Xbox so they can play your games? What if you both want to play the same game at the same time or play it co-op together? Does that work or could you potentially get banned or caught or something?

You can play at the same time using your own gamertags and you can even delete that person's account from your xbox after setting it as their home so there are no shenanigans. You even share xbox live gold so you can save even more money. You won't get banned.
