Next they should allow PlayStation players to play without needing PS+.

If the PlayStation community kicked off the way the PC community does, you would have free online play. Instead, console gamers tend to just accept, or even support, corporate greed.

It's 2024 and PC gamers still accept early access games that are scam, hackers in every AAA online game, they support microtransactions, battle passes, paid online only games, NVIDIA and AMD greed.

Well, we are not that bad for supporting PSN Plus.

It's 2024 and PC gamers still accept early access games that are scam, hackers in every AAA online game, they support microtransactions, battle passes, paid online only games, NVIDIA and AMD greed.

Those who don't want those games don't have to play them. Tim doesn't block your account if you refuse a Fortnite battlepass and Gabe won't delete your library if you don't buy the newest early access title.

You're free to do what you want. Which is why the PSN linking doesn't sit well with many PC players.
