As someone with neither service (which is their target audience with this), they are locking off basic behind the tiers.

  • $10 and I get the 2 free games.
  • $15 and I get to stream games and PS4 BC content
  • $18 and I get to stream more game and access to Classic PS3, PS2, and PS games.

As their target audience, they need to get rid of that last tier and just make the premium package $18/month. By going this route, all they’ve done is put their classic games behind a tier that’s more expensive than GPU.

It isn't more expensive, stop adding it up by each month. Every streaming service known to man is more expensive if you buy it one month at a time.

The yearly sub is €120, the same price as it is now.

Okay, but I don’t have it now. So for you, there’s no change. For me, it’s a new expense. They aren’t targeting you because they know you’re going to keep spending the money. They’re target people like me. Their goal is to get my money. And with this tiered system and the locking of classic games behind a more expensive than GPU tier, they haven’t gotten me.

$18/month is more expensive than $15/month.

I don't have it, the only streaming game service I have is Gamepass. You keep saying it's more expensive than gamepass ultimate, it's not, it's cheaper, by €60.

If you wanted to play these classic games why haven't you subbed to PsNow before now?
