I don't understand why Sony wouldn't just assign a unique serial number to each user so no matter what you change your username to or no matter how often, that serial number never changes and that's how PSN and games recognize you. It would be like your social security number. They made the process extremely difficult and problematic for no apparent reason.

Technically you could have done that with your mean PSN account you could have just made a new account and you're mean PSN that you purchased all your games through if you went but digital away you could have still made a new account on your PS4 with a different name but instead are using your old account you would just use your new account on your PS4 and you would have your old account activated as the primary account and then that way on your new account you'll be able to play all of those purchased games on the new account. now I can understand if you've already have the game progress on the old account I can completely understand that and not wanting to start all over again but that's what I would have done in the first place. I actually know a lot of people like my friends that were on PS3 and switch to PS4 who have just made a new account all together.

Ah, you're starting to sound like an old man does. Like continuing to store money under a mattress long after the great depression.The fact that the breach happened makes it far less likely to occur again, since new safeguards have been instituted and a closer public eye is on Sony's security measures. But do whatever makes you comfortable! Nothing wrong with that. And having no payment methods on file is statistically safer, although more burdensome.

HOW TO GET BLACK OPS 2 TO WORK WITH NAME CHANGE: Turn on your system but do not sign into your psn. Start the game. Choose the game mode you want to play on, for example I want to go on zombies. Select local play, and pick any map and begin playing. As soon as that starts, sign into your psn from there. You will be logged in, without the game freezing. Then, exit out of local and select online. Then, you will be able to play with others freely. Please note that if you try to switch game modes, it will freeze again.
