PlayStation Plus free games lineup for May leaves fans baffled following price increase

PlayStation Plus subscribers seem to have finally found their tipping point this week, because news of several important titles leaving the service is getting everyone riled up at Sony in the wake of their recent price hikes.

Over the past couple of weeks, Sony has chosen to make almost everything PlayStation-related way more expensive.

PlayStation 5 consoles are now more expensive in several regions, and the price of a PlayStation Plus subscription just shot up in close to two dozen different countries.

Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Canada and Turkey are among some of the latest countries to see pretty hefty PlayStation Plus price increases, and fans have clearly had enough.

Oh, but it gets worse. Sony has now announced that several huge games are leaving PlayStation Plus next month, including the likes of Resistance 2, Resistance: Fall of Man, inFAMOUS: Second Son, Grand Theft Auto V, Batman: Arkham Knight, and Payday 2.

Over on the r/PlayStationPlus subreddit, everyone in the comments just can’t figure out what Sony is playing at.

“Yeah the disrespect to Resistance is wild Right after they’re increasing the price hahah Wow Sony,” commented user seymourbuttz214.

“It confuses the s**t outta me why Sony 1st party games leave the service,” stated user SuperfluousAnon.

“I think they want to combine the unique combination of higher prices and less games to attract more people to the service,” replied user MichaelWildeboer.

Honestly, I’m not really sure what the game plan is here either. Titles can’t stay on PlayStation Plus forever, but what the hell is the logic behind removing first-party Sony titles like Resistance 2, Resistance: Fall of Man, and inFAMOUS: Second Son?

Price increases are one thing, but making people pay more for something that’s actively getting worse is a whole different issue altogether. I hope people start voting with their wallets, because money talks, and it’s clearly the only language Sony seems to understand.
