    The subscription also includes free games, though

    Aradina,

    Only if you continue paying. You lose access when you stop. So, they’re not free, you pay monthly for them.

    Whirling_Ashandarei, (edited )

    Those are the catalogue games, but you also get the monthly free games that once claimed are yours. They are considered “purchased” I believe.

    Edit: I’m wrong, did some googling.

    ScoobyDoo27,

    Those games are not purchased. You lose them when you unsubscribe to ps plus.

    Whirling_Ashandarei,

    Yep, just looked it up to make sure and I’m wrong. Wow, that sucks. I was already halfway out the door on my way to PC, this just confirms that.

    To have access to those "free games" you have to pay first, so how come they are free when they are asking money for them?

    Free is this:

    No payments required and you keep it forever

    NightOwl,

    “rentals” since they cease to work once the subscription lapses. Just like how Netflix isn’t giving away free movies and TV shows.

    I’ve been paying for premium for the last year (monthly, not so bright here) and I haven’t used any of the offerings of streaming or demos. I’m def lowering my sub to extra (I def play from the catalog) but wondering if I should just pay for the year subscription now or wait for any discounts that may happen.

    I think I read we have til Sept 6 to pay for current prices, so I figured I’d just get the year today. Any thoughts?

    Does Sony really think they can charge more than fucking Game Pass???

    shiveyarbles, do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

    It’s a good thing we all got 33% pay raises… Right?

    I buy the subscriptions for ps+ and nso during black friday. There is usually a sale going on then. Wish i could have stacked up some more.

    Yeah, but recently PS+ subscriptions only get a around 20% discount on Black Friday, and Sony is hiking the price up by now than 30, so it’s more than likely that the discounted price is still going to be higher than the full price now…

    By comparison Nintendo charges 24.99 a year (In Canada) Its a much simpler service but you also get access to some of their old catalogue online.

    Or even cheaper just use Steam.

    Nintendo will be next to raise prices for their peer 2 peer. Lol

    This price hike is absurd - fortunately the only game I play online (Warframe) is implementing cross-save soon, so I’ll be able to move away from Playstation and stop renewing Plus - 80 dollars for online pay and cloud saves is robbery, how greedy can you get?!

    Cethin,

    Wait, console players still have to pay to play online? Wtf? How have people kept purchasing these things?

    HawlSera,

    A lot of people fear that you have to be a tech geek with deep pockets to play anything other than minesweeper.

    Not true but this fear sells Xboxes

    kboy101222,

    I don’t think you have to pay for plus for warframe. I used to play in PlayStation and I haven’t had plus since I got 3 free months with my PlayStation

    doctortofu,
    @doctortofu@reddthat.com avatar

    Even better - I can just let it lapse then and still play using my preferred controller - thanks for letting me know!

    Cethin,

    PSA: You can use literally any controller you want on PC.

    kboy101222,

    As the other guy said - any controller works on PC (I’d recommend wired though cause the vast majority of Bluetooth drivers suck on PC)

    The higher upfront hardware costs of a decent PC become more worth it every day. Screw Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo.

    NightOwl,

    And it’s capable of productivity with free tools like blender, visual studio code, and da vinci resolve. So that extra hardware can be used beyond just gaming.

    I view my pc as a hobbyist’s tool, instead of solely a gaming device. It has helped me learn many things outside of gaming, all the information it can get me and all the things i can do on it are frankly overwhelming.
    Totally worth what I paid for this pc, 100%.

    NightOwl,

    Yeah, looking for non video game related reasons to make use of the hardware makes me appreciate the flexibility that more open hardware allows.

    jcarax,

    And let’s not forget porn.

    And you can play all of your historical games, and emulate every console since the dawn of time.

    Let’s not forget to mention the Steam Deck’s low price for pretty great PC gaming. Even more so for the refurbished entry models which are nearly the same price as the last GPU I recommended to someone (secondhand 6700 XT). I’ve been surprised how good of an experience I’ve had with Baldur’s Gate 3 on the Deck.

    Yeah, i’m gonna axe my PS Plus account. It ain’t worth it. PS5 has no games.

    Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

    Well, that's another reason to consider completely switching over to gaming on PC. The free games are nice, but the quality always varies month to month and I really have to wonder if it's worth it to stay subscribed.
