Next thing you know, they’ll be charging a subscription fee for using the software.
It’s called PS+, and they’re already charging for it /hj
But seriously. The last playstation I owned was PS4, I had so many annoyances with it, half of which were caused by sony not supporting my country properly. When I got a PC I didn’t even intend to use it for gaming much (other than some indies I couldn’t get for console) but I found the experience that wildly better I’d never booted up the playstation again, nor would I buy any further consoles
Them heading down this route is definitely not gonna encourage me to give them any of my money lol

Yeah, PS4 ended up being my last Sony console because of PS+ which I refused to pay for. Only bought physical single player exclusives for it and jailbroke it when it became an option. But, I didn’t use it much because of my PC compared to how much I used my PS3. So that led to me skip the PS5.

I had a somewhat similar experience. Except because sony wouldn’t even let me make an account in my country I couldn’t add a payment card, so if I wanted PS+ I would’ve had to buy a gift card for it for the country my account was set to lol. Similarly I couldn’t buy digital games or DLC without going through that bullshit either, so I just bought physical disks.
I was a teen then so not having a job also meant the PS+ thing was a bit of a cycle - I wouldn’t buy PS+ cause I had no games that needed it, and I wouldn’t buy games that needed PS+ cause I didn’t have it, as I only had a limited amount a month to actually spend on games :p
Anywho yeah, with not having to pay for online, having mods, not being so loud I’d often miss plot critical details, way better options for control configurations for controller, and actually being able to buy games without having to go through loopholes… well I just found PC gaming better in just about every way once I got a computer, so I really had to interest in the PS5, especially at the price range it launched at
