@iamtheju Someone on that reddit thread pointed out that when you're not logged on it'll show the lowest price overall but when you log in it'll give you the lowest in your region. Not sure how true that is but that's what someone posted.

@SMJ No, there is quite literally NOTHING indicating that people who spend more are being charged more. That is the fundamental misunderstanding about this that people are spreading that I am referring to. How do you still reach that conclusion after everything that I laid out?

@SMJ Neither, the point is in relation that people are thinking that PS are hiking prices randomly for higher spenders when they're offering varying discounts that are more than the standard discounts. Should PS be transparent about this and why they're offering random people steeper discounts than the standard discounts? Yes, absolutely. But people are having a fundamental misunderstanding about this and spreading that misunderstanding.

@SMJ The PS Price article was updated and the US is now included. So no, it's NOT irrelevant.

When the messenger leaves out context from the source they're quoting, criticism is very much needed.

@SMJ There's no hard evidence that people who buy more are getting higher prices than people who don't. Because people have also shown that the deep discounts are applied randomly. I'm in the US, I barely buy from the PS store, I have the same discount offer for Unity logged in or not which is $10.79 (64%) and I have premium. Djlard above me has an odd discount offer of £4.51, has does that get explained?

Sammy's article conveniently leaves out the fact that PS prices article was explicitly referring to people randomly receiving varying discounts that were lower than the standard discount. Nothing in there refers the spending habits of a person getting a deeper discount.

@SMJ They're not jacking up the prices for different people. This is what everyone is thinking despite the PS prices article explicitly referring to people receiving deeper discounts than the normal discount.

@biggestlozer28 I feel as though that the outrage comes from people thinking that PS is jacking up the prices for different people instead of offering varying discounts. Even when PSprices makes it clear its talking about discounts. But the fear of it jacking up the prices is a valid concern.

But as @raidenpb said Sammy omitting that the context is explicitly referring to discounts is very disingenuous and paints a different picture. At least the article on Friday included that discount context.
