  PS+ is an expensive fucking joke compared to what you get on Gamepass, last I recall. They’re already overpriced.

    Microsoft saw people paying for PS+ anyway and copied Sony’s homework. Game Pass is shit too, now.

      Just standard enshittification, no need to copy homework.

    When on sale, it’s about $100 for a year of access to a general library of games. Xbox Game Pass never goes on sale, costs at least $15 a month now, and doesn’t even have many of the singleplayer exclusives Sony puts out. So this comment seemed completely the wrong way around to me.

      Oh, I didn’t know it had developed into that. Last I dealt with Sony a few years ago they wanted $60/year for multiplayer access only (plus the two shovelware games a month, but come on) and like $170/year for the full suite which had maybe a few games that I wanted to play, but they dropped all the Konami titles. I guess they’re on par now for shittiness — good to know.

        Ps plus on ps3 gave decent games, I bought like 2 while I had it. Saints row 2, starhawk, mirrors edge, etc. were all ps plus titles. When it became a requirement it became worse but still had some gems like rocket league at launch. (Loved the predecessor supersonicacrobaticrocketpoweredbattlecars splitscreen on ps3, would go on sale for like a dollar)

        Ps5 era has kinda sucked tho.
