BREAKING: Sony Announces New PlayStation Plus Pricing – AITA for Thinking They’ve Finally Lost Their Damn Minds?

TL;DR: Sony just dropped the mic on our wallets. PS Plus is getting a price hike, because clearly, they’ve looked at the economy, looked at their server stability, and thought, “You know what’s missing? Charging people $80 a year for the privilege of playing Fall Guys and getting a single good game every six months.” 💀

The “Details” (AKA The Part Where We All Laugh Cry):

• Essential (the basic “we know you’re poor” tier): Now $79.99/year. Up from $60. That’s a 33% increase for literally nothing. No new features. No new games. Just a 33% tax on your nostalgia for the PS3 era.
• Extra (the “we pretend we’re Game Pass” tier): Now $134.99/year. Because why not charge more for the privilege of playing Horizon Zero Dawn for the 47th time?
• Premium (the “we’re Sony, we heard you wanted PS3 streaming, so here’s a 720p stream of a PS2 game instead” tier): Now $159.99/year. Includes the exciting new feature of “regret.”

Why? Sony says it’s due to “market conditions” and “increased value.” LMAO. The increased value is that they’re now paying their executives extra to stare at the graphs showing subscriber counts dropping. But hey, at least we get to pay more for the privilege of those stellar servers that still can’t sync our trophies on a stable connection. 💀

Our Take: Sony’s new pricing model is basically a $160 IQ test. AITA for thinking they’re just trying to see how
