It's not like you have a choice

>>385503896
No. It never has been.

>>385503896
Of course it's technically not worth it, but it's fucking online functionality. It may as well be a requirement if you play any multiplayer game. Even if you don't it's super annoying not having it. The problem is they can literally get away with it. If people on mass said 'no, we won't pay for the increase', they'd have to dial it back. But the normies don't care. Those who have smashed avo in the morning are gonna see it as 'just 10 bucks', which an infuriating attitude to have.

>>385503935
They know people will pay. Basically japanese people are bigger jews than the jews.

>>385503935
because more money?
next sony movie is going to flop hard

>>385503896
Is "ps+ only had bad games!!" a meme?

>>385504168
Sony's Emoji Movie is horrifyingly bad, but will sure be a financial success because of "le I watch it ironically xDDD" kids

>>385503896
No, they need to start offering cheaper alternatives. I never play these "free" games. I know what I like and if I wanted to play any of the shit they try to push on me I would have bought it when it launched.

I'm sick of having to pay a ridicilous amount in order for Sony to purchase timed licenses to games I don't even want to spend time on.

Give me an option to just pay for the online part, fuck the rest. I don't even need voice chat. Bring standards down and lower the price significantly.

>>385504263
this.

>>385504192
Absolute shit compared to the xbox, and even worse when compared to what's given out on PC for no strings attached free

>>385504092
Well I'm not a poor pleb so I play multilayer games on pc

>>385504294
>Give me an option to just pay for the online part, fuck the rest.
Well over 90 percent of people are only buying it for online already, they give out the "free" games so there wasn't a shitstorm when it was first announced

>>385504263
I bet you tons of retards will pay to see it just so they can make shit jokes about it on twitter

>>385503896
>pay for an internet subscription
>then pay for it again!

>>385503896
Only paid online that's worth it right now is live tbqh. I only paid for a month of psn and it was awful.

so but if Nintendo charges you it's ok?

>>385503896
I don't have a problem with the price. On annual it's a trivial amount. The only reason I buy it is to play online, don't care about the games. If they keep increasing the price however, I'd like to get something more or better in return. Not some fucking walking simulators each month. Give us the same as Japan, like Gravity Rush Remastered or something

>>385503896
I'll stick to PC for online games.

>>385505180
Because consoles are proprietary.
A pc's parts can be from any manufacturer, and the software can come from anywhere.
You can just pirate everything
The freedom causes lower rates of brand loyalty and retard tier consumerism.

It still happens, like with blizzard, bioware, valve, etc. but nowhere near as often or as singular, because with a console you're dealing with one company, one group. On PC there are always alternatives.

I guesse this is for the players

>>385503935
they can and the best sellers (shooter and sports) are hostages of the pay wall so they know people will pay em, at least till next gen when people move back to Xbox

Normies still buy games on the ps store for £50+ so i doubt they will care. My ps+ is sorted until 2020 anyway, (got 2 15 month subs while it was on sale)

>>385504707

A) is not

Oy vey we see that you bought those at a discount price goy we dont approve of that. Pay one more to have internet access as well

>>385503935
becuz sonybros are dumb enough to pay for it

I don't see the problem here, it's a fair price and you get free games on top

>>385507596
Until Dawn is far better than the Xbone crumbs they've had to offer. Oh wait, here's another limply-emulated 360 game that was on Plus years ago. Stay cucked.

>>385507802
You're paying money for something you already pay for.
No price is a fair price.
The money is not used for anything that benefits you, server costs and things like that are incredibly negligible to the point of being irrelevant.

And the games aren't free, you're renting them.

>>385508057
> server costs and things like that are incredibly negligible to the point of being irrelevant
that's not true anon

>>385508171
Besides initial investment?
Yes, it is.
Blizzard's server costs are so small they don't even count as an independent entity on their reports.

the best answer I know so far

>How is pc able to be free multiplayer when I am constantly told servers cost money to run?

It’s mostly because the biggest service set up on the PC (Steam) is free, and everybody who followed couldn’t sustain a critical mass of customers while switching to a paid service. It’s really very similar to how Microsoft managed to establish the paid service early on.

The maintenance, development, and hardware costs for online play are always being shouldered by somebody. On Steam, it’s paid for by the publishers and devs who sell games on the platform. Steam takes roughly 30% of every sale, and some of that goes to paying for the service and any other endeavors Valve is taking (Steam Box, VR stuff, etc.). On the consoles, it’s paid for partially by the publishers, and partially by the user fees. Consoles also take around 30%, but that isn’t just for online services and game development. It also pays for console manufacturing costs, R&D, administrative costs, continued development of the platform software, and so on.

TL;DR: PS+/ XBLG is a jew thing used not only to pay for online serves but consoles, RnD and whatever other expenses Sony or Microsoft might have

>On Steam, it’s paid for by the publishers and devs who sell games on the platform.
But steam still has unlimited download and cloud even when dev goes out doesn't it?

>>385509156

wut??

>>385503896
The price hasn't changed in 7 years, they're literally just updating the price to track inflation

Not to mention good boy points are now worth less than they used to be, thanks brexit morons

>>385503896
Didn't they already increase it once a few months ago?

yes $300 over 5 fucking years is trivial. how poor are you exactly? maybe you should get your life in order before worrying about video game online prices.

preparing to milk the jap market dry when monster hunter comes out in 6 months

>€84 a year
So you just need free play to give you two games a year that you would be willing to purchase at full price. Not sure about NA, but it's pretty much guaranteed to happen in JP store.

>>385504192
Back when the Instant Game Collection launched, they actually put in good shit for PS3 and Vita, since you were not required to have PS+ for basic functionality. They needed some way to get people interested.
But now when people need it on PS4, why the fuck would they put heavy hitters in? People are gonna be subscribed anyway.
