    I don't think PlayStation got the “lower your prices” memo.

    “market conditions” Sony's most profitable generation by the way. There is no defending it. No excuse. It's pure greed.

    Xbox decreased the subscription price, while PlayStation increased the subscription price! Never buying your new console again - the PS era ends here.

    Hot take: Online gaming should be completely free, this is a completely arbitrary price with no real benefit. There is no “market condition” that should result in what is a free service on PC, to consistently increase in price just because you're on console.

    Seriously, what are the “ongoing market conditions” that causes access to online multiplayer gaming to go up in pricing?

    Due to on going market conditions I've only been able to use my PlayStation for watching TV.

    Weirdly selective in what's changing. Seems like a very calibrated push for more annual subs and premium tiers.
