PlayStation Plus Update Leaves Out Important Detail

Gaming Bible writes: "PlayStation Plus subscriptions are reportedly at an all-time high, though Sony has hardly said a word about it. The company said: “The overall number of monthly active users for PlayStation in September was 107 million accounts, an increase of 5 million from the same month last year, and the proportion of PS5 users, who have high user engagement, increased to a little over 40% of the total.”

Gaming bible is such a horrible site all their articles are overly long they never get to the point and I bet it's probably AI driven.

I saw another article from them promoting a "rumour" about a GTA IV remaster coming pre GTA 6 trailer and the source was a unknown Twitter message with 11 followers. And that was just today they also made it excruciatingly long

The site should be banned imo it's garbage

For someone who hates that site, you seem to know a lot about it. How about simply not giving them your clicks? As for wanting them banned, that's CCP logic right there.

I'd want to see them blacklisted as they are far from reliable and use sources like a random twitter account with no followers zero credibility
I know there's already a blacklist for sites that can be accepted on n4g I'd personally like gaming bible on there

Do you prefer people to make decisions while uninformed?

[Duke19]

I mean to be fair, Sony never sent out any actual email or announcement about the price hike for me. The only reason I even knew they were raising my price was from gaming news sites.

Not really ok

Paid online sucks.

I think Sonys realised they can just make up numbers and get away with it unchallenged.

I think it’s quite clear that their subscriptions are dropping. It’s all ready been spoke about publicly and you can quite clearly see unrest in their customer base who have not been happy for a while now.

It was proven during the PSVR2 release that they’re happy to make up numbers and stock shortages in order to try and pressure sales.

The last numbers I saw were that PS+ subscribers were hovering in the 47M range. That’s how many who will consistently pay for on-line content. (Your asking consumers to pay the price of a fake to play online and F2P games like Fortnite don’t need PS+ for online access.) PS+ Extra and Premium tiers are growing, and were about 17M total when last reported by Sony. It’s the same story on Xbox. Most folks have to pick and choose months for online.

People are dropping extra and premium, well that's what I did at least. But I still sub to essential so I can play online, so I'm assuming that's what others have been doing as well.
If we didn't have to pay to play online I would cancel ps plus altogether.

What was the detail? How is the sales performance and consumer base usage an "important" left-out detail?

[raWfodog]

Even though many people say they’re dropping their subs, I believe there are many more new subscribers coming onboard. People who want to play online with family and friend (even randoms) aren’t going anywhere.
