Fucking hell. PS5 finally gets a few good exclusives and then they jack up other prices so high that the barrier to entry is still unjustifiable. Good luck fixing those slumping sales numbers, Sony.
So single player games are only on PS5 now and then they raise the price of PlayStation Plus.
Sony can go fuck themselves.
I still can’t believe people pay for the opportunity to play online through Sony. Imagine having to pay Steam to be able to do multiplayer stuff online. Sure you get outdated games for free. I had PS+ for many years until about 5 years ago. I rarely ever played the free games I got.
Oh, then they also decided to throw a bunch of money on Marathon over Destiny 2. Marathon has a smaller player base, is a niche-market game who’s highest peak player count is only <90k on PC, which is the biggest platform for Marathon. Meanwhile they neglect Bungie’s cash cow completely and let it fade into oblivion.
Who the fuck is making these financial decisions at Sony? Are they actively trying to burn the company to the ground?
…why are you offering a good time to these greedy leeches?
I did this awhile ago. Played like 3% of the games I got each month. Service wasn’t worth it for me. Switch to Steam, still only playing a fraction on my library but at least no monthly fees and free online play.
If you’re paying the cheapest $11/m for 5 years, that’s $660. PS6 rumored 2028. 8 years since PS5 2020, $1056. Console itself $500+ since 2020. Expensive now but before the ram and storage shortage, it has been the case of PC gaming being the best value as long as you don’t care to hit the max settings in every game. Couch gaming, my PC is hooked up to my TV, Steam Big Picture auto starts and I use a bunch of 8bitdo gamepads
Money saved on computer game sales is insane too, especially with humble monthly. Even new games almost always have 10-20% discounts on GMG or Humble! I haven’t paid full price for a game in forever.
The PC I built in like 2018 for like $650 is still playing all the games I want. Last year I upgraded the video card to an RTX 2070S for $210.
I can stream to every room in the house, I have saved wag more in game prices than the entire console would have cost me. Let alone those subscription prices.
8bitdo website is atrocious. I have always used dualsense and say someont suggest an untimate from them but the site layout made it so would have needed to know what it looked like first. All the tiles were animated and didnt display a name.
With every one of these price increases, my chances of subscribing to PS plus drops lower and lower.
They don’t even give a competitive service when compared to Xbox… Like don’t get me wrong I think Gamepass is a scam as well but it’s less of a scam than PS plus… 11$/m vs gamepasses 10$/m and gamepass gives a handful of games, cloud backups, cloud gaming and multiplayer… PS plus just gives multiplayer and save backups and a couple free games a month that require ongoing subscription to play.
Me buying 10 years worth of ps+ 4 years ago is turning out to be a solid investment.
Didn’t Xbox just reduced their prices?
i think it was 19.99, then raised to 29.99, now they reduced it to 22.99
later on, theyre going to let people customize what they pay for, so it may get cheaper again depending on what you want
Not as crazy as i expected when clicking it. Still, gets harder and harder seeing places like this raise costs on stuff they could easily absorb the hit on yet rather pass the buck onto the consumer… for anyonr curious its a $1 increase to the 1 month and $3 increase to the 3 month, but nothing said about the annual plans.
So far i feel like i am super lucky. I set mine to autorenewal years ago and the extra years i brought before they changed the system and raised the prises got me by without worrying about the increase. They ended 2 years ago and i have only had to pay $80 a year for the full top tier subscription which i think is $150 a year. Just went through again a few months ago. I noticed if i cancel the auto renewal or try to pay for it outside this it will charge the full amount. So i will absolutely not change anything and happily accept this amazing glitch! From what i read online there are some others that had this happen as well and had to do with the extra years and services combined that made this somehow get stuck. Everyone says do not touch it! Maybe one day they will correct it, but here is hoping this lasts at least a few more years because i would not pay $150 anyway lol.
