I guess they didn't like giving away money.

They're just getting ahead of Ass of Can Whooping .

 

[Punished Miku]

I almost feel guilty getting $10-15 every month from MS Rewards. Inequality is horrible.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Hmm so July 23 is the cutoff then, guess I should be able to get another $5 store credit if I get Death Stranding 2 digitally then.

Sony doing what is does best anymore - take away from their customers. Shame, as I was able to earn quite a bit of PlayStation credit through this program. As someone who tends to prioritize PlayStation gaming but still play a real good bit on PC, actions like this and others they have taken, makes investing into my Steam library all the more enticing and likely.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

I was somehow sure it was already kinda sunsetted a year ago or so (my PSN region don't support it anyway).

Oh well.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

damn! I need like 15 coins to get $20 psn . . . fine I'll try Balatro.

Everyone was so happy to "win" the console war! Things will only get worse from here. Sony only taking from here on out.

People can switch to pc and if they do no one will come back so current Sony need to chill with their bad decision making.

9 out of 10 news from Playstation suck nowadays.

I guess ff11 from 2002 still more profitable coz square keeps it going.

News  Thread 'Square Enix considered ending Final Fantasy 11 in 2024, but player interest was high enough to keep it alive even after 20+ years'

May 19, 2025

Square Enix recently celebrated Final Fantasy XI's 23rd anniversary by announcing big updates planned for 2025 and beyond. Among other tweaks and additions, the MMORPG will be getting a much-requested character race change feature, as well as adjustments meant to make solo-play more comfortable. Although these announcements paint an optimistic picture of the game's future, FFXI producer and director Yoji Fujito says that in another timeline, the game could have ended in 2024...

[Kilau]

But I still have 197 days left to complete this!

 

[zokie]

whoever is in charge of Loyalty Dept will get roasted by consumers/customers for a long time

definitely they do not want people to earn points and get pay lesser for the $80 1st party games they are implementing

 

[Topher]

I still don't know what this is

 

[Northeastmonk]

Ive customized my case several times since this became a feature. I've also redeemed quite a few PSN gift cards through their point program. The trophy cases adds zero value to the overall experience. Who really gaf about these things and no one ever talks about them. I bought a few Legendary or Rare trophies for points I should have used for PSN cards. If you're not using the PS App, it's pointless to care about this case.

Some of their stuff like "sign in during the month of.." to complete a campaign or play 4-5 games in their cherry picked selection to get another trophy. Stupid, easy, and very little benefit. I'll miss the $5-$10 cards even if it only covered the game's sales tax. I remember PSN before sales tax too.

 

[Spukc]

What the actual fuck i can redeem like 50 euro's LOOOOOOOL

I still have a PC but most of my parts are very outdated now, I really hope for an actual Steam machine to return in like a console form factor. Or I might just wait for Steamdeck 2 with a dock.

 

[STARSBarry]

If only there was some sort of online virtual hub you could walk around an admire them.

I think it would have felt right at home...

 

[NickFire]

Great PSA thread. FYI everyone, Helldivers 2 is currently available for 10k points if you go all the way to the end of the store offers in the reward program. Just grabbed it.

More and more people will do the same.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Lmao what was the fucking point lol

Redeeming points for actual PSN store wallet funds ?

I must have redeemed more than 60€-70€ since February 2022, it was actually a good incentive to buy games from the store.

Fucking Sony man...

This is another reminder that A) good things never last and B) There's nothing "pro consumer" about all these multi-billion companies out there, MS doesn't care, Sony doesn't care and Nintendo especially gives exactly 2 fooks about you or i.

 

[KaiserBecks]

Can't really relate to the people calling this garbage. I don't care about trophies or those weekly assignments and stuff, put I still managed to get two €5 psn vouchers through the stars program. No idea why one would complain about that.

It's mostly people who are salty because they didn't know about this, and missed out on a bunch of free moneyz.

 

[Baemono]

And nothing of value was lost

 

[TGO]

Playstation realised their userbase actually plays games and was stacking up points very easily.

Yes, earning credit to put towards other purchases is not valuable... what the fuck am I reading

PS Stars was free, FFXI still has a monthly subscription, it's an mmo, not really a good comparison, like at all

It's like objectively worth real money lol.

 

[Aenima]

As someone that rarely buys anything digital i was never able to take much advantage from the program, i think i redeemed 5€ when i got points for subscribing the PS+. But is a nice program for ppl that buy alot of digital games. Its a shame they shutting it down.

 

[R6Rider]

Very lame. I've redeemed at least $60 from this and I don't buy from the PS store that often.

 

[Fake]

Horizon Zero Dawn GAAS will be the next.

 

[Mr Moose]

 

[applesaucejaxon]

Well shit. I was trying to save up coins to get Astrobot. I only had enough to get a $10 PSN credit, so I clearly wasn't even close to fulfilling the Astrobot dream.

 

[Aenima]

I still don't know what this is

Its a Loyalty program like many stores uses. But you need to register and install an app on mobile. Then when you buy certain things you get points that then you can change for PSN wallet funds and other stuff. Thers also other stuff, but dosent really matter.

 

[chromhound]

I thought it was PlayStation All Stars lol

 

[seb85]

I never understood this program to begin with and I didn't care about it

 

[Jigsaah]

Eh...that sucks. Sorry if you're affected.

 

[Topher]

But you need to register and install an app on mobile.

I think that's why I never bothered with it. Thanks

 

[reinking]

I forgot all about this.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Oh I see people are getting this confused with Playstation All Stars... yeah ok I get it

 

[DeepEnigma]

Some don't read beyond 3 to 4 title words, it seems. Just quick to throw shade that ends up doing nothing but making them look silly.

[Pasta la Vista]

For anyone that doesn't know, if you have the PS app, you are probably already enrolled in it as it's integrated into that. There's an icon at the top (it should look like a little star with a number in it, iirc) that you can access it from. Don't even need to subscribed to PS+, go redeem your credits!

 

[phant0m]

got probably $70 in PSN gift cards out of this over the last few years, shame.

 

[Cr1ptkeeper]

Why is everyone glad to see it gone?
We got free games because of stars and you didn't have to do anything.
