They really want people to upgrade to a more expensive PlayStation Plus tier so they can announce to shareholders "subscription services income is flourishing" but in reality people are doing it because it's the only way to get a discount when paying for a subscription, most of my friends are now just letting their subscriptions expire and waiting a couple months to for a sale on "new" subscriptions.
The whole thing is very consumer unfriendly but I guess it works and some people just stay and start paying for a more expensive PlayStation Plus tier once they can't access any more subscription deals.
Never gotten a discount code from Playstation, I buy 90% of my games digitally, but my friend who never buys digital games has gotten 2 codes in like the past 5 years.
I don't care about game streaming because my wisp has some giant ping spikes constantly, maybe if the "400 PlayStation games catalog" has some games i really wan to play I'll be checking the PS+ Extra a couple months to play some of those games.
Playing some old games (with enhancements maybe?) is probably what sounds more appealing to me right now, but there's no way I'll pay $120 just for that.
Nickel-and-diming your player base can really hurt your brand long term, ask EA. I'ts just not worthy, but right now seems like PlayStation is so on top that they don't really care about what players think.

Re: PS Plus Extra Loses Ys VIII as the PS5 Version Releases
I'm having flashbacks to the early PS3/X360 era when every PSN feature seemed like years behind the XBL equivalent.
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Lose Five PS4 Games on 15th November
When the new games are announced they should just add a footnote of the games leaving, it's weird they try to obfuscate that useful information.
