PlayStation Plus price has increased

Because nobody actually cares.
That's why I'm just laughing at this, I'm not wasting my time getting angry over this, it'll amount to nothing.
People will keep paying for it.
It is what it is.
Well I'm not going to keep paying for it. Especially not after September's games.
This is what sub services is all about. Price hikes left and right. Movie studios have been doing this for a long while now with their sub services so nobody should be surprised that Xbox and PS would do the same. I'm just laughing my ass off at the clowns who thought that gaming sub services would be the next big thing this gen and that people will flock over to it because sub services would be cheaper than buying games. With how frequent games (newly released ones at that) are going on sale, buying games that appeal to me is actually costing me less than if I was subscribed to one of these higher tier sub model.
If they do add a lot more games ( like PS2 classics), they should have raised the price AFTER the fact. I do not think that will be the case though, as someone already said Xbox is in such a mess that I think Sony thinks they can get away with pretty much anything these days. I mean, they are constantly breaking sales records, do they really need to increase the price of their subs now?
It's not only MS fumbling, it's that PS is too big to fail and people are deep into their ecosystem.
People are not leaving.
MS fumbling last gen was a killer blow to their business, it was the worst gen to fail and they did it.
People aren't leaving their preferred ecosystem in 2023 and beyond because they'd lose access to their games in the process.
Those invested on PS or Xbox will remain in these ecosystems.
I'm curious how Sony thinks people will be able to afford or want to pay such a HUGE price hike. Most of the world is not doing so great economically, so that's likely why their stopped reporting PS + numbers last quarter, because they knew there will be a decline with this decision
The sad part is that I don't want to lose my PS+ game library so I'm being forced to accept that price
Even changing to PS+ Brasil I can't.
TBH for first world countries ( from which they make the most money and who are the most prevalent in the ecosystem), can take this without even noticing it, however that does not make it OK. Sub services always hit a ceilling, so maybe they just want to squeeze a bit more money from their existing subscribers to make their investors just a little bit more wet? Sure seems like it.
That is why I always buy physical, whenever I can, same goes for games I found and liked on the sub. Kingdom come is one such example, tried it and bought a disc shortly after.The sad part is that I don't want to lose my PS+ game library so I'm being forced to accept that price

And you shill for a $3 trillion mega-conglomerate releasing $5 vinyl plastic diaper wraps for $50. If not them, then for a multi-billion dollar corp that overprices outdated tech for Day 1 profits and refuses to drop their software prices by any measurable amount several years after initial release.
They all suck, but go on and keep thinking we shill for everything Sony does. Hell, I've been increasingly vocal against a lot of things they've been doing over the months.
If anything, nobody approves of this IDK where he sees Sony shills? Sony fans are way more harsh and critical. i still remember Sony walking back on their decision to charge for the upgrade for Horizon Zero dawn from the PS4 to the PS5 version, due to fan backlash.
For the all tiers?
And its a piece of shit, but u love the tasteGP core is $60 a year.
If they had any marketing worth a cent they would have announced these additions and future plans to improve/expand the scope of the service's provided features first and foremost, and ease in a price increase announcement towards the end.
Or better yet, do that and ease into the higher price over time with smaller incremental increases over a period of months. As-is, this has shades of Microsoft's 100% XBL Gold price increase attempt all over it. No other way of putting things.
It really is smelling like a duopoly at this point. Genuine competition wouldn't make a move this boneheaded this blatantly.
I'd like to picture an alternate timeline where Sega was still a viable platform holder. Honestly the industry would've been better off for it.

No, you're not forced to do anything.
This sucks, i probably won’t bother renewing…
But the reality is that everyone is going to complain, threaten to leave playstation, say microsoft is doing it better, doom…then a couple months later microsoft and nintendo raise prices and people continue on with their day like it never happened.

I don't want to lose my PS+ library so yes I'm forced to continue the subscription.
You can discuss if it is an indirect or direct way to force you to do something but it is still a way to force you to continue being a PS+ subscriber.
