I hope they fix that soon. PSN certainly has quite a few security flaws.

Oooh, I wonder if it allows friends to make in-app purchases!?!

You know, wonder into the menus, select downloadable content, and purchase a horse armor or a few dozen Ultimate Team packs...

The follies continue for Sony. Hopefully they learn a lesson and stop launching unfinished products.

Are you serious? This was the same if your friend was next to tou with your controller in your hand. Starting a new game, he can simply overwrite your saved data. 

But it isn't. This is online and can easily be prevented. It shows a lack of forethought by Sony.

Have you never used remote desktop? That's what share play is basically, except Sony was smart enough to lock out the console menu. Making changes to every game before they can be used for share play would be counter productive. Anyway Sony has given the tools to developers to do so as they stated that certain scenes can be blocked from share play by the game. Seems reasonable that game developers can block certain actions as well if they feel like it.

If you give them your password, sure they can. They won't even need share play :p
I doubt it would work with share play as those in app purchases usually launch the store which is locked out I think?

Share Play is exactly like handing your controller to your friend. Only difference is that it isn't across the couch, but over the internet instead.

I don't think Sony could be held accountable when you (very clearly) give your friend permission to control your console.

Next they're gonna say Share-Play allows friend to start a New save file on your friends system. Like, really Sherlock?



Thanks jlmurph!

This is why you don't share things! xD

Really? The only way Sony can prevent this is with cloud save files. And they're here. If people act like dicks, you must blame the people and the people only.
