Wait Gamepass allows you to keep the game for a buck?

RichC2

No. It allows you to convert Xbox Live Gold time into Xbox Gamepass Ultimate for $1.

I'm not giving Sony any extra money especially after finding out yesterday that they are shutting down the online servers for Everybody's Golf. Isn't that the stuff my Plus subscription should be paying for. Go fuck yourself Sony.

fujishig

Ah, gotcha. I'm planning to reup with that soon and I'm just hoping this Sony "reveal" doesn't prompt them to remove it because they don't need it anymore.

Michael Corvin

Maybe I'm just thinking of their excessive DRM plan and the disc thing you mentioned. Always online and pinging your system daily to make sure you own your shit. Either way nearly everything they boasted about at that disastrous E3 was reversed a week later.

RichC2

It was that and restrictions on game trade-ins.

On the other hand, you would have been able to play store bought games without the disc and digitally lend games out to a group of friends.

Two codes for $5 at PlaystationDirect.com that I won't use.

Don't quite know what to make of this. They needed PS Plus money to finish the game. Sorry people downloaded the game once it became available to them, I guess...

If it would not have been made available to me through PS+, I wouldn't have bought the game. I played the original one back in the day, and mostly enjoyed it. I tried another one somewhere along the way, and it didn't click with me at all. I never would have picked this up had I needed to buy it, but was willing to give it a chance to draw me back into the franchise. So far, I haven't played the game, but will at some point.

RichC2

Giving your game away free is a boon for multiplayer titles, not so much for single player.

Middling reviews also hurt.

The term “have your cake and eat it too” comes to mind.

lwhy?

Apparently, you can have too many titles on your Wishlist. I tried to add a title and I received an error that said your Wishlist is full. Remove an item to make space.... 99 titles is the limit.

There have been a few times it's worked out for single player, at least for me. I'd never heard of Far Cry until PS+ gave me the second game. After that, I've bought several Far Cry games. Ditto with Deus Ex. I'm sure there's a few more over the years. For the most part though, I agree, there's nothing lasting once I play part or all of the game. If the developer doesn't make enough from the initial deal with Sony, they likely won't be getting more from me.

fujishig

That only really works for established franchises where the outside sales pretty much guarantee it's worthwhile to make another one. If you put a ton of resources into a game, release it on Gamepass and don't make enough money, it's nice that people enjoyed it but there isn't going to be a sequel to it (and if there is, there's always the perception that "hey, I got this for free last time, I'm not paying 60-70 bucks now).

The easiest solution is probably almost universally despised by all of us here: holding back content to sell as DLC.

Not sure if I can post here but if anyone is interested in a digital PS5 I have one for sale. You can PM me

Sony just made DualSense firmware updates available via PC. I was able to update the firmware on my wonky DualSense, although I still can't use it wirelessly on the PS5. Has to be plugged in with Bluetooth disabled.

Decker

That sucks. Did you reach out to Sony? I know it's probably out of warranty but maybe they'd help?

So demos for all big releases again like 360? Guess I'm down for that. Probably could have saved me from a few purchases last year.

slop101

Seems like lost of people are having trouble redeeming their PS+ codes, getting error messages from Sony saying they can't activate the code. Not just for people who bought codes through CD-Key, but Amazon and Target as well.

Apparent (leaked) PS Plus games for May 2022

I'm down for FIFA 22 and saves me from buying it. I guess FIFA 23 would be released soon?

I purchased a 12 month code last night from Best Buy digital to extend my Plus, but it still hasn't been delivered vía email. It was supposed to be delivered within an hour. Should I even expect it at this point? Are they trying to flush the system of the current batch of codes to keep people from extending? I just want another 12.
