Fucking hell… some people legitimately never learn.
They are destined to be suckers for life.

Turned off my recurring billing. I’ll have about 3 months then it’s bye bye. I have been a customer since 360, but now will probably sign up for Playstation Network for the first time.

Oh I’m sorry, did Playstation start charging 30 bucks for their service? Oh, it’s actually CHEAPER than Xbox even was? Oh and it’s a massive back catalog of PS games I haven’t played due to being on Xbox? Fuck me right?

If you have a backlog of games that you have bought, why do you need an online subscription for them? Or am I misunderstanding something?
Gerudo@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
I don’t have a backlog of PS games due to mainly playing Xbox for the last 20 something years. That’s why subscription services can make sense, you play through games you’ve missed out on. Kind of like sub hopping for tv streaming, you build up a back log, sub for a few months then move to the next.

Ehh… PSN isn’t really any better. Their Game Pass competitor is a hot mess. Better to just buy games outright, especially during sales.
Gerudo@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
I know it’s not better, but it has a bunch of the catalog from Game Pass as well as a bunch of PS titles I’ve missed while being on Xbox.

That’s a good callout - treating these game rental services more like we do with streaming video services by subbing to one for just a few months, then dropping it for another.

Yeah I was shocked at the overlap of titles between the 2. If I had noticed that the last price hike, I might have switched sooner.

Better to use your brain and torrent instead of being a useful idiot paying for corporate campuses.
