I wonder why this wasn't reported as a DRM issue, which it obviously was. Would've generated a lot more buzz too.

wasnt a drm issue, it was a database corruption issue, it was truncating license database files and causing the entire database to be offset, invalidating them.

so even stuff that is free, but still uses a license file to validate its authenticty, was not working if your database got corrupted.

Sony described it as an "account issue". So it might as well been an issue where the support that deleted the preorder set a flag(because of a bug) that marked the account in a way that the games did not allow to be played by that specific account.

And we all know that the games not only check themselves but also if the account is allowed to play them.

Of course it also could've been a corrupted database.
