    Why in the hell would they save progress for a player that has refunded the game? You’d have to be delusional to assume that.

      Literally the opposite. Why would they ever do that? You are underestimating how easy it is to do nothing, game progress is beyond negligible in terms of storage space. And deleting it would reduce any chance of returning customers.

      Look at it from sony’s PoV, if they did delete saves and then the community becomes less upset next year, why would they want to preemptively prevent people for giving them another chance?

      Not only would it be a terrible business and PR move, there is just no precedent for this type of thing. Do MMO’s delete your characters once you unsub? Or do they just sit tight and wait for you to come back?

          Not if you refunded the purchase price of the game. Letting your payment lapse isn’t the same thing….

        A subscription-based game is completely different than a one-time purchase that you’ve refunded.

          I knew you would say that, but seriously, stop and think about how its literally the same situation. There is no reason that Sony would delete data from a customer that might potentially give them money.

          Especially when the data is probably just a handful of MB.

            The only way it makes sense is if Sony gets vindictive and opts for scorched earth. It doesn’t make business sense but this is the second time within 6 months Sony have tried taking away content from paying customers by one means or another. They clearly aren’t very good at business these days.

          I like how you completely ignored how your entire point of view makes no sense and chose to pick apart an analogy that is perfectly appropriate for the situation

          You must be pretty young, just keep enjoying your days.

          Stay in school and maybe you’ll find out multi-billion dollar companies manage millions of dollars in inventory and data using one analyst manually fixing incomprehensibly large Excel sheets lmao

              Here’s a source: literally this scenario - they didn’t delete progress.

              Congrats, you’re the moron!

                Wow, you came back after all this time, only to show me a discord screenshot that doesn’t actually support your argument. Bahaha you fucking idiot

                  So are you trying to claim that they did delete progress for people that refunded, or do you just not remember what your argument was originally?

                    Neither of us have evidence and we’re both speculating. Let me know when you have some actual useful information. Until then, fuck off.
