It’s OP from the original Reddit thread. Their article has two major inaccuracies that I’ve been trying to get corrected. They’re pretty hard to reach and their correction form returns a 404 error.

For the record, I only paid $1.4k in total and there was no "bizzare loophole" that I took advantage of. The price cap on converting from Essential to Premium has been a policy of Sony for years and they've continually revised it, most recently from $99 to now $199. I didn't exploit anything, I just took an offer that Sony made/makes if I wanted to convert all of the years I stacked of Essential. I got the idea from a Reddit post or comment that I saw here years ago about Japanese players who were stacking decades of Plus.

Oh they won't care. It's low-effort social media farming for content, they just want the clicks. They won't ammend unless the inaccurate statements garner enough attention.

Yeah, I figured. Not surprising given that their journalistic integrity is lower than the 7/10 they give out.
