I hate that console online gaming is fee gated. I quit buying multiplayer focused games for that very reason. Meanwhile, I can play Apex or Fortnite online for free just fine.

It's so dumb. They already increased the price when they introduced the tiers, now it's this new price hike with no improvements in sight because fuck you that's why. Of course every time this happens people are quick to use their favorite argument "It's only $0.20 a day! It's so cheap!"

I wonder how many subscribers they'd even lose if they made online gaming free, but kept the paid part for the game rental service.

I kept it for the occasional free monthly game, but now I think I'll go and disable auto-renew.

Edit: Also, gotta love how this is in response to MS increasing the price of Game Pass. Definitely late-stage capitalism if "our price is better than the competitor's" isn't considered a market edge.

Your firsthand review has swayed me I'm going to buy Saints Row for $80 then ignore my copy and watch a Youtube playthrough of it

Have it be a few frames at the end/start of two consecutive episodes.

Just a taste.

At this point, a new PS5 + subscription service year over year approaches gaming PC prices. The exclusives can't be that worth it.

I lucked into 8.99 per month for the full premium but tbh even that I need to think about. Did get It Takes Two and the OG Dooms which were good but 108 for the year, when I never play online and have a 3yr old (I.e. no time) it'd a bit rich

Even cheaper than that, IMO. You can get a decent Gaming PC/Laptop (for streaming, mainly) for $500-$600 Bucks.

It's just the casual Gamer/Mainstream isn't that Computer saavy yet to play games on a PC (eventhough it's not that difficult)

Sad they are raising the prices, does this include the people (like me) who was grandfathered into the $69 Year PSNow price when they Merged? If not, unless I hit the Million Lotto soon, won't be re-upping just to Stream a few PS exclusives to play on my PC.

Eh, I was hedging my bets, since there's no agreed start place where "gaming PCs" fall into line. For example, you could get ones for $600 that technically will run games, but might struggle, whereas a PS5 wouldn't. All depends and all relative, but the point indeed stand that these consoles are getting carried away with this nonsense.

Plus, they aren't adding any new services or anything. It's just more expensive just cause.

I haven't played consoles online since Nintendo got rid of free online play (not that I played a tonne online before that, but I at least liked the opportunity).

I feel like with all the DLC/microtransaction bullshit that gets tacked on to a game's price these days, the least they could do is offer free multiplayer. Back in my day, the only games that charged you to be online were MMORPGs and those at least had the excuse that they were constantly being updated with new content.
