Literally the opposite. Why would they ever do that? You are underestimating how easy it is to do nothing, game progress is beyond negligible in terms of storage space. And deleting it would reduce any chance of returning customers.
Look at it from sony’s PoV, if they did delete saves and then the community becomes less upset next year, why would they want to preemptively prevent people for giving them another chance?
Not only would it be a terrible business and PR move, there is just no precedent for this type of thing. Do MMO’s delete your characters once you unsub? Or do they just sit tight and wait for you to come back?
Can’t wait to see the complaints when they rebuy the game and their progress is gone.
They’d be stupid to delete progress… that just sounds like it’s a way to guarantee that nobody returns instead of trying to lure them back.
…but then again, I suppose we’ve learned that business decisions aren’t their strong suit 🤷♂️
Why in the hell would they save progress for a player that has refunded the game? You’d have to be delusional to assume that.

I know FFXIV saves your data. You’re welcome back anytime with your account
Not if you refunded the purchase price of the game. Letting your payment lapse isn’t the same thing….
My original comment was more about a hypothetical scenario, based on previous incidents. Now seeing the response my comment got.
I hope they do.
There’s nothing I love more than seeing G*mers throw temper tantrums like the little babies they are.
