I can take marketing speak but not an outright lie.

Exactly, everyone does it

Even if some comes off sillier than others, at this point nobody outside of the usuals believes anything big Jimbo says but the man has to say what he has to say

I’m having flashback to generation talk.

The difference is Xbox would be laughed at to no end if they had said something like that.

They’ve been mocked about Smart delivery which was exactly what they meant it was.

I just see it as SONY can’t really afford to outdo Gamepass at the moment.

Admitedly I have a question our of both ignorance and an unwillingness to read through all this stuff

Will the 400 plus tier 2 games that include God of War, Spider Man etc…can those games be downloaded, or it that all cloud streaming only?

I believe everything is downloadable except for ps3

But it’s just a marketing buzzword!

I actually for some stupid reason paid for PS+ the last couple of years, but this news is going to make me cancel. I don’t appreciate a company treating me as a customer in the crappy way that Sony does, basically drip feeding me something along the way until the industry forces their hand to give me the things that I really want. I have a PS5, but I am more than willing to simply subscribe for a single month on a higher tier and then unsubscribe to play the couple of games that I would normally buy when they show up a year or so later to this service because there are a million other games for me to be playing on Xbox and Game Pass. I would very likely pay for an ongoing PlayStation subscription with day one games because I play on everything, but they will just make me approach this in the best way possible for me as a consumer here I guess.

Ahh, okay. Well that makes it suck less in my mind

Another question for anyone. Is there going to be a PC version of PS plus, where you can get…maybe not all the games the consolde versions have, but a good amount

So you can play some the older PS5 and PS4 stuff without even owning either of those consoles?

No you can only stream on PC which is a massive L

I think PS Now is already available for PC, so anything that can be streamed should be available

But im not 100%, I havn’t cared enough about Playstation in years to find out

But can you subscribe only on PC and play say God of War, or Spiderman Miles Morales, even if it is only streaming?
