I'm not justifying console vs PC. I'm just pointing out that the $300 on the original comment I replied to for ps plus is insane. $80 a year for a positively moderated, optimized gaming experience the vast majority of the time is worth the money imo.
And you justify the value of it based on the 3 "free" games a month. To which I'm arguing against. $80 a year for the life of the console will almost certainly be more than $300. With console generations lasting nearly 5 years on average each that's actually $400 in subscriptions, keep in mind that generations have been getting longer, and seventh and eighth gen consoles lasted for 8 and 7 years respectively... So closer to $600 in cost.
But that's the context of the whole thread...
bwuahahahah. Sure. Cause console lobbies aren't filled with kids screaming racial slurs. And it's so positively moderated that all your data including credit cards leak (https://firewalltimes.com/sony-data-breach-timeline/).
