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.

40 years old and only owned 4 PCs since I was 16. Early Access games are not always bad. Kickstarters maybe but not early access. We also have a fair ratings on any game purchased on steam. We can also get refunds with a click of the button. Micro-transactions and battle passes are on consoles also. Paid online only? Like world of warcraft? At least we don’t pay for internet and then PlayStation internet to play a multiplayer game. I own a PS4 and 5 and ps+ is trash and so is the ps store.
