In a new interview, PlayStation’s top business executive defended the decision, insisting the company had to “adjust” to market conditions.
Vote with your wallet. Their execs can pull numbers out of their ass all day, but maybe they should cut some out of their salary for a change
That’s ok. I’ll just ‘adjust’ my payment details.
Did that a couple years ago. I was trying to cancel my PS+ subscription because I didn’t use my PS4 much after building a PC and they kept giving me issues. I simply deleted my card info from the account and let the subscription end that way.
Now they keep saying there’s a problem with my account and I need to re-add my card info.
No thanks, Sony.
Slowly just buying games on pc so I can cut my dependence on the Playstation. Paying twice for internet is so dumb. The ps5 and switch will likely be my last consoles.
I refuse to accept $70 as the new norm as companies boast about record profits, while indulging in layoffs. All while the average consumer has less money than ever before to even buy them.
I recently got a PS5 and I only buy offline games because of this.
They should release maybe some 20€ annual plan just including online gaming and maybe 500MB of cloud storage for saves.
But having to pay for this is a disadvantage Vs PC games and having to pay like 74€ per year is even worse.
I’ve been in Plus for quite a few years now. I used to be able to get it for $40 around Black Friday. That was an acceptable price. If I can get it for $60 this year I may re-up. There’s no way in heck I’m paying $80.
I would like to welcome the many many many new PC players who will be abandoning consoles
The rough equivalent of the PS5 GPU (~40 CUs of RDNA2) is the RX6700 XT at ~300 dollars. Pricing has not been great but let’s not exaggerate lol
lol, most ps owners don’t use ps plus and it’s not one of the highlights of the systems. Being able to play Spider-Man 2. Now that’s a highlight. They pump out amazing exclusives that far surpass anything from Xbox which keeps them very viable without ps plus being as competitive as gamepass is.
The exclusives were how I used to justify a PS, but now that they are coming to PC after a year it makes that decision harder to justify. Particularly because they usually look better on PC and mods can be used, so as long as I can stand to wait I usually have a better experience on PC.
I’m not sure I’d buy another console.
