The slap in the face for their price increase was painful. Then they had the audacity to punch us in the stomach with their Black Friday "sale." But this game line up immediately after is just a straight kick in the balls. Looks like I'll be moving to PC sooner than I thought.

[@SilverWolfGaming0527]

I don't agree with the price hike but if 3 "free" games not being good is what it takes to run off this community why we're you here anyways? Every time a shit month lineup is revealed it's always "welp I'm going to pc!" Like there aren't thousands of other good games to play... 🙄

[@jondoe-du2fr]

@@SilverWolfGaming0527 To answer your question, I'm here for 2, well 3, reasons. 1: PS online gaming requires you to have a PS+ subscription. If it didn't, I wouldn't have a horse in the race. 2: Sony stated that their price increase will include better quality titles. THEY said this! The Callisto Protocol and Mafia II were levels above this month's poor offerings. 3: (This one is on me.) I've been a generational PS owner since the PS1. So I guess I'm loyal to a fault. Never before have I claimed I'll leave PS, but there's only so much piss, but being told it's raining, I can take. EDIT: The fact you call these games "free" speaks volumes. This is a SUBSCRIPTION service. If I don't sub they get locked. That's not free, my friend.
