Thanks, AI and billionaires.
What about the by far biggest PoS, won't congratulate him too?
He's included in billionaires. Can't wait until he finally fucking dies.
You know who, the demonic orange pedophile who drove up prices for everything when he bombed Iran to distract from the Epstein files. Bombing Iran drive up oil and gas prices, and that drove up prices for everything else.
Oh that ugly POS, yeah fuck that pedo rapist cunt
I hope he and others like him get their own Luigi Mangeone.
Thank Sony for Concord and Bungie lol
What does AI and Billionaires have to do with this?
AI data centres are hogging all the memory and RAM, raising the prices on memory and RAM in the process, and billionaires who aren't paying their fair share of taxes which drives up inflation. They're both fucking over the global economy.
Hmm that's not how that works.
We were getting price rises before the Ram issues, what was the excuse when Sony pioneered $70 games at the start of the gen?
You should try pointing the finger at those directly who are raising the prices like these actual companies.
This can be as simple as the Concord /Bungie failure tax. Someone needs to pay for that mess.
This could be partially tied to RAM as expanding and repairing their own servers would be dependent on current prices
However, this is most likely due to Concord/Bungie/Numerous other canned projects
How so?
Huh, so no change to yearly prices. Thats a lot better than I was fearing.
Agreed, still bad news tho.
It's horrible when companies are so comfortable to keep increasing prices over and over again because they can.
That happens here in Brazil for everything, so it's nothing new to me, but seeing it happening in the most powerful economies like the NA and EU is still a shock to me.
I mean they aren't going to make any money on pc anymore for single player games, so they gotta squeeze that money out of it's loyal gamers.
What was way too much for what to me is essentially only cloud storage and very rarely online multiplayer gets only worse.
Sony hater HopeMillsHorror need to shut the fuck up, you ain't fooling anyone with your bullshits. Just fuck off already you dumb POS!!
Not the worst increase... Tho I wasn't going to be renewing either way
I'll stay on PS5 for the single player exclusives but I'll probably get everything else on PC from now on or NS2 if going for portability
