There’s a colossal difference between disliking the actions of a country’s politicians and describing a people as a “garbage culture with no morals”. And while “race” is a kind of wishy-washy term with no real definition, I think plenty of ethnic Turks would disagree.
That’s still way too many people for someone who crashes their country’s economy.
Anyway what’s the alternative not raise the prices? How’s that reasonable, the situation would just continue and they would continue to fall further and further behind on prices, behind the rest of the world, until eventually they decided isn’t worth offering the service in Turkey anymore.
That’s a legitimate point for physical goods and services, like food or dry cleaning. Not when Sony magically created this “service” and is free to dictate the price at will, regardless of how much real value there actually is. I guarantee 90% of people who pay for online pay just so they can do that, get online. Not for the bs free game releases they do or anything else. Sony could’ve dropped the price and their operating costs wouldn’t have changed a dime because it doesn’t cost them anything to have online services. Paying twice for internet is so bullshit.

I agree that Sony is able to arbitrarily set the price to whatever they want. Online play and cloud saves are free on Steam and such, for example, so obviously Sony could just as well set the price to zero for at least the tier without free games. However, it’s not like the price increase comes out of nowhere. Sony probably makes internal calculations based on the US Dollar or the Yen and then converts to local currencies in certain intervals and since the last conversion the value of the Lira decreased massively because of Erdogan’s economic policies.
I mostly just read economics news articles, so I’ve read way too many stories on Turkey lately. It’s insane they reelected him. That man has pushed some economic policies that a middle schooler would be able to point out the holes in. The savings accounts that guaranteed the lira pegged to USD value? How in the fuck did he think that would be a solution. You’re literally agreeing to cause massive inflation by printing/handing out free money if inflation happens. So you created more inflation, to stop inflation… Some of the most horrific logic I’ve ever seen.
