Ah ok, that would explain why it wasn't a thing for you( and yes, I thought it was stupid as well even back then as a teenager).

This shitbox company is raising all tier prices:
www.theverge.com
Food, housing, fuel, meds keep just rapidly going up in price.
Every shitbox company: "let's raise prices too even though every consumer is screaming from the rooftops that they can't afford it."
Sony’s other PS Plus plans are going up in price too.
When it announced price hikes this week, Sony focused on the cheapest Essential tier. As we suspected though, now the new prices are live, Extra and Premium have gone up too. Extra now starts at $16.99 per month, while Premium is $19.99. [Link: Sony is raising short-subscription prices for...

Hahahaha. Greedy fucks.

Love how they only announced the base tier and then just slid the higher ones in hoping no one would notice.

Yeah, I was wondering about those tiers, they are the Gamepass competitors while essential is just "pay for online" (and cloud saves, free everywhere else).

It'll probably work for the most part

Yup. I get free cloud saves on Steam and Xbox.
Nintendo locks them behind switch online, but at least base switch online is dirt cheap, though locking cloud saves behind any paywall just sucks.

This should probably be added to the OP.

Or a new thread to call attention to it even more since it was just snuck in alongside the announced increase.

They're just a poor indie company.

Holy crap, I 100% expected Premium to go to $20 month but NEVER would have expected Extra to go to $17 month. That tier has no Cloud Gaming either.
And no Day 1 games on Premium. Wow, they just killed the service IMO. Next up, yearly plan hikes.

Yeah I'm gonna let my year run out and then cancel the renewal. The yearly price hasn't gone up, but I will express my displeasure at the monthly and 3-month price increases by just letting my sub run out.

Even before this Premium was a complete ripoff, because they now can't be bothered to add more than 1 (at most) retro game per month. Hilarious.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
At the very least a title update for this thread would be nice, otherwise a lot of people will miss the news.

I don't understand the reason for the Deception of not announcing price hikes for higher tiers. Did Sony really think no one would find out?

Interesting chart

Bury the bigger damage by announcing the smaller thing first and hoping future 'update' tweets get sweeped in the same discussion, I reckon.
Considering how often it happens to them, someone's probably gonna try and start a class action lawsuit against Sony for this, lol.

This is the moment for me. I'm going to enact the same plan I did with Xbox Gold/Gamepass a few years ago.
It's the moment I decide to slowly go through my *free* plus monthly games I've accumulated and then eventually unsub.
I came to the realization a while back that I don't really play online games anymore on console, thus the bonus incentives aren't really as enticing anymore.

I stopped subbing years ago - the first time they raised the price and removed stuff while doing so. Every so often they send me an offer for a discount on a month long sub. It goes straight into into the trash after I check if there's a feedback link. What I really want is for them to ask why I stopped subbing because I have quite a bit that I'd like to say to them.

I can say that for the amount of content you get, Extra is still …OK.
But as a single player only gamer, I changed my credit card about a year ago and let my subscription lapse. I honestly haven't noticed once! The only thing I was worried about was losing saves, but c'est la vie!
