New Supporter Only account
Things are developing fast and the Patron-Only account "hiddenTTsecrets" has been banned as well around 30 minutes ago.
Of course I cannot be sure if Sony is tracking my server's IP, they can automatically detect my messages or somebody signed up and reported this bot just to mess with me :D
Anyway, I've made some quick & dirty changes to remove messaging entirely and created a new Patron Only Bot called HideMyTracks
You can add this account a...

The last account, TiredTroodon, has been banned as well. Right now, the only active account left is the patreon-only-supporter-bot.
Thank you very much for all the amazing messages I have received in the past few days! I will continue with PS-Timetracker ❤️
I have also looked at all the messages, comments, mails and tweets sent by you and I decided to disable messages and see if this will stop the bans! :)

Hi everyone,
It happened again: Sony has banned two of my new accounts: TRACK_butterfly and TRACK_flower. It's odd though as both of these only had about 400-700 friends each, so not very much compared to other accounts that were banned in the past.
There's still one running account with approx. 1800 friends. The supporters-only-account has also not been affected since the very beginning.
If you are a patreon supporter and have not added the hidden account as friend yet...
Banned Accounts
Unfortunately the accounts DramaticShark and QuietQuetzal were banned by Sony in the past few hours.
When Sony banned my accounts 2 years ago, they were all banned at the exact same time. This is why I assume that somebody is trolling and reporting the messages as spam instead. But of course, there's no way to know.
This is a reminder that you can add hiddenTTsecrets as a friend instead, which is only available to patre...
2023-06-08 21:17:21 +0000 UTC View PostTracking is back again!
aaand it's back :)
Sony changed their API endpoint and broke the bot completely, the bot working from one IP and not working from another one was just a coincidence.
I was able to fix that and now everything's back up and running again!
TRACKING IS BLOCKED
Tracking and everything else is currently blocked.
It seems Sony has blocked my server's IP address, which blocks most of my API calls. I already have an idea how to get around this, but tracking will probably be blocked for a few days.

Sony has just released their 2021 Wrap-Up, so it's also time to show some PS-Timetracker statistics for the whole year! :)
I have posted the list to /r/PS4: https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/s8nx2d/top_100_most_played_games_on_pstimetracker_2021/
And you can also take a look here directly: 2022-01-20 17:20:07 +0000 UTC View Post
NEW ACCOUNTS
I have created new accounts and I have also created a special account just for my patreons! This one is not visible to the public and I hope it's not banned that easily.
Add as friend, send a message and it will start tracking again :)
The username is: hiddenTTsecrets
+++ ALERT +++ All Tracking stopped
Unfortunately, Sony seems to have banned all my accounts at once, so all timetracking is currently stopped completely :(
I will figure something out on how to continue ASAP
2021-08-19 16:16:23 +0000 UTC View PostTop 20 games owned & played by 23.300 PS-Timetracker users
My "top 100 games played in the last 30 days" statistic came up in a heated argument over the weekend how nobody's playing any exclusives on their PlayStation. Obviously the normal monthly top 100 list is very skewed in favor of multiplayer games, so I wanted to see if I can get some better data from my users. Turns out that I can :D
This is the official PSN data from 23.300 users tracked by Sony and friends with any PS-Timetracker account. 75% of these have played Fortnite at least onc...
2021-03-23 17:23:09 +0000 UTC View PostShould PS4 & PS5 games be combined into 1 row in your profile?
Short UX question: Do you prefer showing the same game played on different platforms to be displayed in 2 rows like it is right now or should they be combined into 1 row?
The screenshot is an example from my own profile and thanks to PS5 I have this or at least 3 games now...

Currency Change to EUR
Hi everyone,
First of all: Thank you so much for the continious support and being such an awesome community ❤
I already have some statistic ideas for the PS5 launch. If you have any ideas as well, just let me know here in the comments.
A note for the Patreon payment:
I've changed the main currency to Euro. So if you are living here, you can update the payment details and save some fees for both of us :)
Best
Simon
Import all of your PSN gaming history to PS-Timetracker
Big news :)
We already knew that Sony tracks gaming sessions details about us and how much we play, but they never gave us access to it.
But thanks to GDPR it is now possible to request this data! And the best thing: I have made it possible to import this data to PS-Timetracker!
Take a look at my profile as an example: 2020-07-26 12:43:16 +0000 UTC

Website with more detailed stats launched!
I have just launched my brand new website https://ps-timetracker.com/ that offers more detailed stats :)
So far you can take a look at the overall stats of each month and your own stats that offer much more detail than the PSN message. The code is not send out yet automatically, if you want you can tell me your PSN Profile and I will message you your code privately.
Happy to hear some feedback!

Hey everyone,
I have just posted the monthly stats for April 2020 on reddit :)
Thanks for all the positive messages and huge thank you to my patreons! I'm currently working on a website to show your personal stats in more detail than the message you're receiving every day.
Obviously you will be the first to test this brand new page. I'll keep you posted!
