PlayStation Plus Price Hike Sparks Global Existential Crisis Over Whether Subscription Is Actually Worth It
A deep dive into the irony behind the trending outrage. In a move that sent shockwaves through the digital couches of millions, Sony announced that PlayStation Plus would be getting a price increase, making it more expensive than a gourmet pizza and roughly the same as a therapy session. The joke, of course, is that the service’s biggest selling point—"free games" you never play—is now costing more money to rent a library you already ignore. As gamers race to calculate the monthly cost of their backlog shame, the internet has collectively realized that the true price of PlayStation Plus is admitting you’ll pay anything to avoid finishing *Cyberpunk 2077* again.
