PC actually doubled its online prices last year, too. Good thing they multiplied by zero.

Yet another reason to just skip this console generation, especially if Sony does it too.

I'll just stick with PC.

You know it's free for PC gaming, right

i literally am playing free online as i post this
I meant console in the context of this topic

You are the reason this shit exists.
I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm just saying that's the reality in which we live. Saying "don't like it? don't buy it" isn't going to make console online free again.

As much money as they can make, just like every other company

This seems dumb. PC is free, Sony is cheaper. But yeah, Sony might just use this as an excuse to raise their prices way up too. Insane.

If Sony is smart, that'll be awhile, while ridiculing Microsoft in the meantime.

Wasn't Gamepass supposed to be the successor to XBL for games and multiplayer? Why the hell have both co-exist when you can have one grand service for that high a cost?

Meh jokes on their greedy asses, I spent $90 on three 12-month PSN cards. I'm sure there will be workarounds for that with Xbox too.

There already is. Minimal effort with Microsoft Rewards is enough to get GPU essentially for "free".

I mean some won't care much about Gamepass and not want to pay $15 a month just for multiplayer.

Hopefully they hold of on it for a few months but nothing would really surprise me. I just hope that when they do, it's not an attempt to match XBox's number as that would literally double the price for a year's subscription which I presume would hack off a substantial portion of the PS+ crowd.

If I'm reading the xbox.com announcement right, it sounds like renewing an existing membership retains your old price, at least?

If they're smart they'll maintain prices. The switch from MS will be exponential.

Hopefully it's legit, as in they're not just fast tracking a still injured superstar so that he can play in the biggest game of the season to this point.

Does this price increase still happen even if you're still on last gen? Either way it's bullshit, but it applying even to last gen would be even worse.

As a Series X owner this is a massive L

I already own most of the Game Pass games and bought a few more in preparation of switching back to regular Live.

The galaxy brain in me is saying that this is an attempt to get scalpers to offload their remaining shipment of consoles, but the rational part of me is just going "Microsoft"

Ah well, if I run out of Game Pass Ultimate I'll just keep buying 3 month memberships from kind eBay sellers for $6.50
