PlayStation gamers livid with 'awful' update none of us asked for

Nobody wants this

PlayStation has really upset its users with this decision, and it’s not difficult to understand why.

Updates can be hit and miss – while some will appreciate the changes made, others will find fault.

It happens every time.

However, when it comes to this update it truly is a questionable decision that has few redeeming qualities.

PlayStation Stars has been a sticking point for gamers since its introduction.

We all need to play some Dave the Diver to get over this terrible shock

Although some users have enjoyed what it offers, the majority will agree that the service is a sham.

Yes, you can enjoy freebies on a regular basis, but oftentimes those freebies require you to purchase a game in order to unlock them.

It doesn’t feel like such a bargain when you have to exchange money to unlock a free download or store credit.

Sadly, things have just got a whole lot worse.

One feature of this change that has already come into effect is that points you've earned through PS Stars will expire after 12 months.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, Sony has announced that subscription payments won’t earn you any points.

In case you didn’t know, previously what you spent on your PS Plus membership, such as its renewal, yielded points.

Come March 2025, this will be a thing of the past.

We try to stay neutral here at GAMINGbible when delivering the news, but even we are struggling to find any merit in this latest update.

Understandably, PS users are feeling just as confused, if not more so.

“Totally diminished any amount that I cared about this system,” posted Redditor ToothlessFTW.

A system that never felt designed to be of genuine benefit to its customers is becoming “significantly harder” to use.

It would be nice if Sony walked back these changes, though such a U-turn is doubtful.

We didn’t realise what we had (which wasn’t much) until we were told it was being taken away.
