*This opinion piece does not represent Gamers Leak's view on the matter, it is the opinion of the writer who wrote it.* Gamers Leak: There are many gamers, including myself, that have had it up to their eyeballs with online passes. Many blame Electronic Arts for introducing this and while they did make it mainstream, from my understanding, online passes have existed as early as White Knight Chronicles on the PlayStation 3.
PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.
I for one will be going back to essential at the next renewal. When I feel a game is good & right up my alley, I’ll check trusted reviews & just buy it.
I would like to see Sony add a fourth tier of PS Plus for people who just want to be able to play games online without any of the perks like monthly games, store discounts, or anything like that, and it should cost $20 annually, $30 maximum. There’s no way I’m paying $80 just to play games online. Even the original $60 fee was too much, and I would often wait for sales to re-up my subscription.
Just let my subscription lapse for the first time since 2010. Will sub again every now and then for a month or so to access my old ps+ games but for me it's the end of an era.
Let those numbers continue to drop because it is now too expensive. $80 per year just to play online. I noticed they didn't offer any discounts on the subscription or controllers during this year's days of play for the first time in many years and they will feel it when people choose not to renew.
My subscription will lapse next month and it will stay that way until further notice.
Cheat software provider EngineOwning will pay Call of Duty creator Activision nearly $15 million in damages and legal fees.
This is what developers and manufacturers should do. I know going after cheat devices/makers is a cat and mouse game, and cost money. However, they can get that money back by sueing these manufacturers of cheat devices. Take a page from Nintendo's playbook.
Get a fresh look at Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and more on June 10.
Assassin's Creed Hexe is what I wanna hear about most. Yes I wanna play as a witch with magic during the 16 century witch trials in Germany (as per rumors). Sign me up
Hopefully gameplay of ac shadows or star wars outlaws, if they finally announce the new far cry I'm definitely getting that, far cry still fun af and gorgeous games, yeah ubisoft has their faults but atleast they're not copying souls like games their titles still have identity
I'm going to be an outlier amongst the rest of these comments.... give us something NEW! I'm pretty burnt out on Ubisoft franchises, unless you're giving us a new Rayman game!
*Edit - imagine what they could do with a Rayman 3D game in this day and age. I say now is the time to revisit the series.
i'm not to upset about the online passes as i am the idea of games being locked to one console.
Let them have this it will eventually come back and bite them in the @$$ after people refuse to buy their games do to the online passes.Then hopefully they'll open they're eyes.
@Yi yea it seems gaming is going down to a hell hole.Is it to much if i wish for a video game market crash like the one in 1983??After all they need us more than we need them.
it truly is sad they can't play the victim then turn around and make half finished games with hours worth of dlc that should have been in the game to begin with greedy devs are going to hurt the industry -_-
What is this BS? PC gamers have NEVER complained about Steam and actually OWNING the games you bought. You CANNOT give it away. It's being cheap.
These article are kind of pointless. People are not going to boycott these companies and these games. So more and more publisher and dev's will continue to do this and use the excuse that use games sells are hurting them. So let move on and stop complaining about this if we as consumers are not going to do anything about it.
I'm not supporting any dev or pub that uses this method and will continue to buy whatever game weather it be new or used.
