    2023 as the year of higher average revenue per user gathers steam.  Everyone is raising subscription prices from dating apps to streaming services, and now PlayStation.  The countervailing force is going to be more companies stuffing ads in their apps as a substitute to raising p…

    With Sony increasing their PS Plus Extra price to $135 a year that puts it right in line with Xbox Game Pass for Consoles which is $11 a month ($132 a year) The main difference is that Xbox heavily invests in day-one games. Sony needs to step up to justify this price increase [im…

    @PlayStation We sub to Playstation Plus for online play. These bonus games are marketing for you. “This price adjustment (increase) will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service.” Let there be a onlin…

    Steep Price Increase! Personally I don't think subscriptions are viable to the service holder and to consumers. We've already seen subscriptions slow down throughout multiple regions and every major subscription whether gaming or other entertainment. I'd rather buy my games...

    @Wario64 No day one exclusives, very slim third party day ones, They dump games once a month and leave weeks of nothing.... PS Plus Premium hasn't justified itself to me the past near year, yet they want to increase it?!

    PlayStation fans!!! Please be honest here, is Sony getting too confident? - Increased price on PS5 - Increase price on PS+ - No hype showcase shows or communication - No focus on Japan - High prices on accessories - Insane focus on GAAS games - “We believe in generations” 🤔 [imag…

    Sony's PlayStation Plus price hike is yet another signal that the subscription bubble has burst. Companies still don't seem entirely sure what to do with subscriptions.

    Remember LAST GEN i told people PSN was a rip off because PlayStation wasnt even providing their own Multiplayer games but making ppl pay for online. Everyone told me to shutup and go play COD. This also the result of sub services and why i buy my games.

    - Lack of 1st party support for PSVR2 - Lack Of 1st party games this year - Worst Showcase in PlayStation History - PS Portal has no Bluetooth for $200 - PlayStation Plus price increase, no day & date 1st party titles still - No Road Map - No Gameplay seen for Last Of Us... [imag…

    @PlayStation Price increase of $40 for Premium and we haven't even been getting a lot of Classic titles. - No PS3 emulation - PS Plus is console only and no hint of PC option - Not many new releases / day one launches Wtf bro, y'all better have something PS Plus related cooking f…

    As my PS5 is primarily a Sony First-Party Games Machine for me (and well worth it for that!), I don't think I'll be renewing my PlayStation Plus. I never play multiplayer on PS5. I should probably kill my Nintendo Online too, but at least that's only $20. https://www.ign.com/...

    Between Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, and Nintendo Switch Online, I'm now paying almost $400/year for gaming subscription services.

    Hello @PlayStation @Sony. We are not renewing our PS+ subscription, not with that price increase. Do the right thing and don't push your luck.

    As a PlayStation fan since '95, the sudden PS Plus price hike gives me pause. Loyalty should be rewarded, not priced out. The value I've cherished seems compromised. Reconsidering my subscription due to a shift in direction. #PlayStation #PSPlus

    Been telling y'all day & date is an unsustainable subscription model. And you're now seeing it with the PlayStation + price in...... silly me I forgot they don't do day & date. They just charging you more for less 😂 [image]
