Comment on PC Master Race

Over 7 years, you’d have to pay $560 to play online on a PS5, assuming they don’t increase the price again. The cheapest PS5, without the disc drive (which is a bad decision if you like cheap games), costs $500.
You can easily build a PC more powerful than a PS5 for $1060.

Over those 7 years, you get 252 free games for the PS5. Meaning the average value of those games has to be like 2.2 for the subscription to pay for itself

They’re not free, you had to pay to access them. The 252 are useless unless you play them and not just a half-dozen titles you like.

And once the sub stops you lose access to the games.

You know what you do get to keep? The games Epic gets giving out to bribe people into using their launcher. I’ve amassed over 200 games from them, from which I’ve played maybe 30.
