This error is because Trophies on PS4 require the internal system clock (the one you can’t see / alter) to be correct, so people cant change their PS4 date/time to make it look like they got trophies earlier than they really did. If your PS4 clock battery dies, all your games die

everyone worrying about a non existent Denuvo problem when what they should be worrying about is ERROR CE 34878-0 when the ps4 cmos battery dies (and it will) it renders all ps4 digital files unusable without a server reconnection and in ps4 it also kills disc playback

It would be nice if Sony to release a firmware update to just be like “You can not earn trophies due to a clock error. Connect to PSN to unlock trophies” and let you just start the game offline without trophies. I assume they’ll never do this though because low priority.

Just to emphasise: you can fix this by just putting a new battery in then syncing your console to the PSN once. We are just pointing out that the console will be bricked in some imaginary distant future when the PSN goes away (if ever?).

Some really weird responses to this where people are directing their anger towards the concept of trophies in general, rather than what is just a terrible engineering decision that could have impacted literally any part of the console's encryption relying on datetime.

You can’t play them on disc or digital without a psn sign in / connection - once servers are done for that won’t be a option without jailbreaking. What’s that if not dead
