I'm curious if the mods are going to do something in the future about GAF. Every SINGLE thread in the gaming sub is always the same people arguing the same points. I know they are trying to get rid of the trolls but it's so exhausting to see bickering 24/7 from grown adults. You can't have a discussion about anything, outside of a few GOOD people. It's unfortunate. Don't you guys want a nice peaceful place with good conversation and insight?
On that note, I'm going to play some Outriders before the expansion drops. Goodnight warriors.

Pay to play online ok fine
need PS Plus for cloud saves ok fine
70 for games ok fine

Block subs stacking enough is enough this is where i draw the line

So, basically as I have ps plus until next year Sony is stopping me from finding a cheap deal on ps plus and activating it now but if I wait a couple of months I will be able to buy discounted cards from retailers and then stack?
I get that it's a little annoying for those who have handed over the money right now for the top up but you are still going to be able to activate it later right? Just store the code somewhere?
Not ideal but just a bit of an inconvenience really.

Sony and Ninty are always on the ball with these kind of shit. Truth is they cant bleed money like microsoft can.

Yeah Sony might go bankrupt if they let people save a couple hundred bucks each, they need to stay afloat with that 4.09bn profit.
And you can stack Nintendo online membership for up to 3 years, don’t drag them down to this: https://en-americas-support.nintend...ntendo-switch-online-memberships-to-extend-my
And MS doesn’t exactly bleed money but that’s for another time.

Given another chance
I think £8.99 pm (£100) annual is great value for money for the top tier personally.

Netflix has been profitable for 19 years.
Netflix stock is a growth stock, it's market cap was high becuase a lot of people bough it expecting essentially that the stock (or market cap if you want to look at it that way) goes up signficnatly in the future. It's not doing a well a growing right now and so people dumped the stock quickly lowering the value. But it's doing great as profitiable business as. It makes over a billion in profit every few months. It's just not doing great as a growing business.Netflix isn't doing well at all:
Netflix just lost $50 billion in market cap | CNN Business
Netflix’s bad 2022 just got much worse.www.cnn.com

Oh I know, you post history is the usual pc master of insecurities lolUnfortunately for you I play on PC, but go off though.
Why are you telling me your life story?

Stock is heavily down because they're now losing users.
Growth phase is over for them and now they have to find ways to reverse the situation otherwise it's going to impact profitabitlity.
But it's going to be hard to attract more users without funding more high quality productions spending more.
Or they could focus on profitability by increasing prices but that could lead to further user losses.
So it's not that investors are crazy or there is no correlation to how the business is performing, there are clear concerns around the business model right now from investors.

I post that I want Sony exclusives on PC so I no longer have to play on PS4, so that constitutes insecurities?
I won't lie, you apologist didn't disappoint in this thread for sure. But once again, go off, lol

The problem everyone, except fanboys, can see is that they said, just two days before this, that they would convert people with both PS+ and PSNow memberships to the higher tier of the new PS+ for as long as the longest one.
Obviously people bought PSNow and PS+ cards to extend their subscriptions before the conversion occurs. Those people, the ones that were encouraged by Sony's own words, couldn't make use of their legally bought cards. Two days after, they say what they are saying now.
If you can't see a problem in how they handled this...

Just stop with this nonsense, only psnow will convert to the top tier, and this has being known for ages.
The outrage of people with no playstation is what baffles me. You get get outraged on behalf of other people instead of minding your own business

Why the fuck are people upset about a loophole being closed? How entitled are people? Not every company needs to give their products/services away for free to gain market share.
If you wanted to take advantage of the loophole, there was plenty of time to do so. And if you only want to pay for things that can be purchased via loopholes then I'm sure there are other companies that will cater to your needs.
Never seen so much fuss about nothing. These sorts of things get posted all the time on hotukdeals and you don't see people crying like this when the company decides to stop it.

Not really.
They’ve released a heavily subsidised £359 SKU.
There’s been a £10 uplift for games, but games like DeS Remastered have already been on sale for £40. As always, it’s just a matter of time until they hit the standard £20 rate in the sales.
Yes they’ve removed 60 games from Now, a lot of them are solid, but we’re getting Returnal, Death Stranding, Spider-Man, GoW and Miles Morales on the new service day one.
Just because Xbox is doing better now, that doesn’t mean aRRoGaNT soNy are back.

That says;
If you are subscribed to both services
Not ‘if you are subscribed to either service’
It is only existing Now subscribers that gets converted to the top tier.

When your spiderverse movie tanks, other divisions are not making as much profits as they used too and you rely almost solely on your gaming division of course you gonna close loopholes and nickel-dime your customers.
Dont really care will gladly sub in the legit way since Sony keep making them bangers.
And nintendo doesnt allow buying their classics ala cart as well which is total bs since they want that recurring sub. Again, just business.
Be happy ms enjoys taking a hit with that gamepass deal. Every company's situation is different.

If you read my quoted post in the post I was answering to, I said you needed to be subscribed to both services. Can't you people really read? And then you keep trying to lecture other people
To be clear, as stated by their faq, having both services will convert to the higher tier for as long as the longest time of either of them. People bought some months of PS now and years-worth of PS+ so they would be converted to PS+ premium for as long as their PS+ subscription ran. That same people then found out they weren't able to stack their PS+ subscription.

However yes, reading through your conversation chain you clearly know the script.
That being said;

Who the fuck buys redeemable cards and doesn’t redeem on the day? You’re talking maybe 2-5 people in the world that would be in this situation, if that.

Learn how to read first, before calling names to people. I'm ps plus subscriber till 2025 do you think I wouldn't know that?
‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’: All the Box Office Records Broken
The Sony and Marvel movie grossed a staggering $600.8 million in its worldwide debut, good for third place on the all-time list — and that despite the ongoing pandemic.
www.hollywoodreporter.com
"Sony Pictures business witnessed an increase of US$1.31 billion (¥149.4 billion) or a record 636 per cent jump in consolidated operating income for FY2021 against last year’s US$178.5 million (¥20.3 billion)"
"The Imaging & Sensing Solutions segment saw sales growth of 21.65 per cent or US$2.86 billion (¥324.8 billion) as compared to last year’s US$2.35 billion (¥267 billion). "
"The Financial Services recorded an increase both on overall sales and operating income"
Quick Google search, don't know if there are more up-to-date results?
Sony Corporation achieves an increase of 32% in operating income for Q3 FY2021
Consolidated operating income records US$4.09bln while overall sales registers US$26.66bln in Q3 FY2021

You answered my post were I was saying that members with both subscriptions would get converted to the highest tier with:
I then linked you to the FAQ were it clearly says members with both active subscriptions would be converted to the highest tier.
If you already knew that, why the fuck would you say what you said in the first place?
The problem is that the post where they say members with both subscriptions would convert to the highest tier came on Tuesday and, although stacking was already blocked on the same day, they just clarified it today.
I'm sure you are smart enough to see that once that clarification was done, people would go buy a 3-month psnow subscription and stack PS+ ones.

I don’t think anyone actually understands what this is doing. Ps plus stays ps plus. Ps now will get converted. If there’s an issue when the tiers finally happen then you can complain. There’s nothing to complain about now. If you have ps plus cards you will be able to redeem them and stack them. Whether you do it today or in a few months it doesn’t change anything. Unless I’m missing something?
this was clarified some time ago. The ps now cards were pulled last month and you cannot buy them anymore. There was a short time you could afterwards and it was quickly taken down. Psplus is staying psplus.

What wasn't clear, and what they clarified two days ago, is that it would match the longest active subscription, not the on on psnow, opening the door to doing that trick
FrankWza

I’m pretty sure it was said a while ago. That’s why people were stacking years of PSNow last month. The door was closed on PSNow subs for a while now.

Dude...what is this fanfic? Sony has never been this healthy. What is this post lmao.
Rely almost solely on their gaming division? For their last quarter PlayStation accounted only for a quarter of Sony's revenues. I don't know how their other divisions aren't bringing in the money but clearly facts say otherwise.
About their Spiderverse flop and their movies division:
Just this year alone Ghostbusters was a hit and a sequel is on the way.
No Way Home is the 5th biggest movie ever and the biggest movie ever to not have a China debut at the box office.
If you mean Morbius, the movie has at least more than doubled its budget for now. Didn't set the charts on fire but it's not the colossal flop you are talking about. It also had a $75M budget. Hardly the $200M you see on many comic book movies.
Plus they also had the Uncharted movie surpassing their internal projections every week.
PlayStation keeps breaking all gaming revenue records every quarter...there's a chance they may get the biggest non-holiday quarter ever for a console manufacturer this quarter once numbers are out.
The doom and gloom in here...

Absolute bollocks. I got Final Fantasy XV for free because they had a pricing error way back when that lasted for like an afternoon, and I remember people like you telling me Sony would take the game away and nothing happened.
Keep wasting your energy on the narrative.
