Starting point is 00:00:00 Now, say it ain't so, just when I thought that corporate greed cannot get any worse, Sony had to one-up themselves as the price to quote my man, Fat Joe. Yesterday's price is not today's price. Now, what do I mean by that? Right? PlayStation took it upon them. ourselves to increase all of the tears for the PlayStation subscription starting September 6, 20, 23. Now, I know what you're saying. Now, dreams, you know good and well that it is way past September 6th, because by the time you hear this, it's either going to be September 6th or the day after at the very, at the very least, at the earliest, if I might add.
Starting point is 00:01:04 So y'all gonna be like, dang, you can then give me some type of warning before Sony just increased all the prices for every single tier of the PlayStation Plus subscription. But let me tell you something. Don't blame me. Blame PlayStation, because this is the first time, the first and the only time where I can say
Starting point is 00:01:24 that you've got to hate the game, not the player, because this is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. PlayStation is out here running a month, with these new price increases as the PlayStation Plus essential 12-month subscription would now be $80 a year so that's the 12 month right the PS plus extra 12-month subscription will rise to $135 a year and the PS plus premium this is for the big ballers out there 12-month subscription will be $160 a year
Starting point is 00:02:05 year now of course Sony came out and it was like you know what the reason why we raising these prices because we can we continuously i don't even know if that's a word i think so give y'all high quality video games for y'all enjoyment and to uh supply your your escapism and your needs for entertainment right none of y'all playing xbox we didn't look at the numbers you know ain't none of y'all buying that Xbox series X so y'all ain't going to leave so we might as well just raise the prices and I was like
Starting point is 00:02:40 well ain't that a shame because Spotify's doing the same thing increasing their monthly subscription PlayStation doing the same thing increasing their monthly subscription even Xbox I don't even know how Stephen A says it
Starting point is 00:02:56 but I think it's the gall I think that's how he says it the gall of them I don't even know if that's how you use it I don't know I feel like throwing that out to think that they could raise their subscription after one successful exclusive game in Starfield, which we are going to get to that game. But like, let us not forget about Redfall and how that fell from grace expeditiously. Let us not talk about all these different publishers that now all of a sudden can't
Starting point is 00:03:26 make a good game because they already got the bag for Microsoft to be exclusive. So now they're putting out trash. and the first time they get a hit in Starfield, they want to raise their subscription for their game pass and they want to take away gold, it's really insane out here. It's kind of insane. You would think we wasn't in a recession.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Who would have thunk that during the recession all the biggest companies in the world would raise their monthly subscriptions? Now let that sink in. All right. So at the end of day, shame on PlayStation. I know a lot of people
Starting point is 00:04:04 talking about boycotting PlayStation but let's be honest how's that going to happen y'all know 2K's coming out I know most of y'all try to ball with the homies y'all know call of duty is going to come out with some other game every other six months and y'all trying to shoot it out with the homies
Starting point is 00:04:23 FIFA and 2K I can't I can't I can't run from people talking about how they're the best of this game they're the best of that game showing me the online my player stats i'm like who like come on now and the reason why i started with 2k and all the sports games is because that's the biggest uh base when it comes to general consumers so they're just gonna look at this price hike and they're gonna be they're just gonna say to themselves
Starting point is 00:04:50 well i'm trying to shoot it out with the homies and i'm trying to ball with the homies but i can't do that without that multiplayer playstation plus subscription so i just got to end it with Shame on you PlayStation.
