For me, I just got a ps5 for me and the kids and it makes sense for me to get the ps plus premium because I got almost all the launch titles for ps5 and a lot of good ps4 games. I also got control ultimate edition, horizon forbidden west and zero dawn. All those games alone would cost me over $400 and not to mention all the games that will get older and fall into the ps plus catalog. New ps5 user will get great use out of it but not people who always buy new games as soon as it comes out which I believe it should be that way. I don’t know why people want to pay $10 a month and expect to get the best new games for free with the service.

You just said you just got a ps5. While we all been got a ps5 since day one and brought all of their since ps4 and ps5. What there to increase for long time players? Nothing we already got all of their first party.

@@kg888 First of all not everyone had a ps5 since day one so stop that nonsense. Second, it doesn’t matter if I just got a ps5 because I already owed a ps4 and I don’t buy games day one unless I really want it. I wait for a sale or for it to come on ps plus which I’ve been a member since 2012. I bought 4 years of service last year at the $120 price so I’m good until 2026. It’s not my fault y’all devalued the service because I don’t know why y’all think a developer is suppose to spend millions on making a game just to give it away for $10-$15 a month. And then sony takes its cut. It would be even stupider for Sony to put their titles on a subscription when they spend the most to make their games. Even developers complain about putting their games on gamepass and how it’s not sustainable for them to continue doing so. But y’all want something for next to nothing right? Why weren’t y’all complaining when Sony and Microsoft said they were selling consoles at a loss? Let’s be real, if Microsoft was to solely depend on Xbox sales and gamepass they would have went under already. You are suppose to buy game when they are new, not be given to you for next to nothing. And one last thing, the fact that the ps5 starting line up is now on ps plus premium, it will incentives new customers to buy ps5’s. Especially when you can get a lot of ps5 games for $13.34 a month now instead of spending $50-$70 for each title.
