This price hike is absurd - fortunately the only game I play online (Warframe) is implementing cross-save soon, so I'll be able to move away from Playstation and stop renewing Plus - 80 dollars for online pay and cloud saves is robbery, how greedy can you get?!
I don't think you have to pay for plus for warframe. I used to play in PlayStation and I haven't had plus since I got 3 free months with my PlayStation
Even better - I can just let it lapse then and still play using my preferred controller - thanks for letting me know!
PSA: You can use literally any controller you want on PC.
As the other guy said - any controller works on PC (I'd recommend wired though cause the vast majority of Bluetooth drivers suck on PC)
Wait, console players still have to pay to play online? Wtf? How have people kept purchasing these things?
A lot of people fear that you have to be a tech geek with deep pockets to play anything other than minesweeper.
Not true but this fear sells Xboxes
At first, we grumbled but did it because we knew that running the services had a cost. Then it got normalized. "Eh, it's the price of one game a year, and I get to play whatever online and get three 'free' games a month, so it's a good deal."
Now, it's not a good deal anymore, at least for me. Hit the "Cancel" button on my sub not 5 minutes ago.
I grew up on consoles, spent my teens on PC, and my adult life I've always kept both around, because I love games, regardless of where they are, but yeah. Most of my multiplayer was already on PC, this just solidifies my PS5 as a media/single player game appliance.
