Jim Ryan takes to the PS Blog to say this is due to "high global inflation rates, as well as adverse currency trends, impacting consumers and creating pressure on many industries.
Like I've said before... Those who care about trophies compared to those who don't, trophies seperate the men from the boys. Those who don't care about trophies are the boys, and those who care are the men 😄
Is it good enough, no. How can they improve it, by adding and supporting the PSP, PS1 and PS2 classic games more. This is what I had premium for and there not doing enough with it.
@get2sammyb I don't think Sony are scared of Game Pass at all... If Sony was worried about Game Pass then they wouldn't be making comments about it like,"it's not sustainable", it's not "profitable", why would the worry about a service with an opinion like that? There not worried because they know in the long run it's going to not work and fail, like Sony said in the long run Game Pass will hurt the gaming industry.
If Game Pass was such a big deal then Sony would do the exact same thing including day in dates
I cant believe this... There's no classic games for this month? The purpose of the premium tier is for these classic games, that why I have it for. This is the problem with the whole thing, they're not focusing enough on the classic games.
I'm willing to bet that there will be some restrictions and limitations put in place with this, especially being rewarded points for Platinum Trophies. There's so many easy Platinum Trophies these days and it would be way too easy to earn these points. My guess is that it will be to a specific game and not any game.
And I'm willing to be that these rewards will only count towards Trophies earned after this reward system launch and not any Trophies you earned before the launch of this. If they did, they would have to backlog a hell of a lot of Trophies for lots of people.
All I've ever wanted with this new PS Plus Premium service is for Sony to really give us a lot of classic games. It seems though that there focusing more on PS4 games than PS1, PS2 games. To be honest, it's the PS2 games I'm more interested in over PSP and PS1 games.
It's amazing just how MGS2 was so far ahead of it's time as well as Hideo Kojima. It's like Kojima either predicted or knew the way the world was headed even as far as 20 years ago.
@sullivans2004 That's why I'm subscribed to Premium, it's the PSP, PS1 and PS2 games I want the most. I can't see Sony releasing those games very often to be honest.
@LiamCroft They work the same as the free monthly games. When you download the game it gets added to your games library, you even get sent an email that it has too. Like how if you added Persona 5 before it got removed you can still play it. As long as you stay subscribed to PS Plus you can always play it, they come under your subscription.

Re: Microsoft Accuses Sony of Paying to Block Games from Xbox Game Pass
@Tharsman I mean, its not like you ever going to hear Sony say “GamePass is too good, we are worried, please don’t subscribe to that amazing deal!”
That's because Sony knows it isn't...

Re: Press X for Trophies Is a Sad Indictment of PS5, PS4 Today
I can't see Sony doing anything about this, especially when there making money from these easy Platinum Trophy games being sold.

Re: PSP Remake Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness Levelling Up PS Plus Premium in Japan
I hate the fact that some regions get games that others don't, so unfair. I wish Sony would focus a bit more on the PS2 games.

Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium List Games Leaving Soon, Shadow Warrior 3 Gone on 5th July
I think If you add Red Dead 2 to your library you will still have it even when it leaves.
