HELP!!!! PARENTAL CONTROLS WTF!!!

Any help guys? I have Destiny and it works just fine on PS4 for me. My little brother had a PS4 for Xmas with Destiny but as he's 13 he's too young to have a PSN of his own. So I created a sub account and set sub account parental controls in PS4 settings for applications to "Allow", so he can play any game unrestricted. However, everytime he loads the game he gets this "[b]NOT SO FAST![/b]" message which says "[b]This account has been restricted from online play via parental controls[/b]". Any suggestions? This is a Destiny-specific related issue. He can play Alien Isolation, Shadow of Mordor and The Evil Within on his profile, all rated 18, all work fine - I tested them.

  • All, I have since spoken with Playstation about this. Basically, if you create a sub account for someone whose age is less than that of the game, PS4 recognises that the user is not "old enough" to play the game and bars all online features. Because destiny is solely an online game, that means that anyone under the age of 16 (it's Pegi rating is 16) will [b][u]NOT[/u][/b] be able to play Destiny, and the servers check against the age in PSN. Also, you can't change the DOB of a PSN account. The ONLY way around this is to create a new PSN account where the account holder is 18+. That's why so many people lie about their ages. Regarding the parental controls, there's really no point to them as far as I can see... Irrelevant of whether you want your kids to access the game, PSN will not let them if they are not old enough. #NannyState
