skateak Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Interesting. I stopped the auto-renew this month so this is a coincidence. I don't play much MP so the online isn't a value. The IGC is what has kept me renewing and the value has dropped off a cliff the last few months. That being said, I'm letting my subscription lapse until the IGC improves. My queston to the community is this: how long do your saved games and old IGC games stay in the cloud. I'm sure I will re-up eventually when something great hits, but I've got years worth of saved game files. When do they disappear forever? Anyone know? Thanks! They currently don't have an expiration date. I don't think that works I believe they have a Expiration time and when that time is up then ur game is up Correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggworth Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Oooooooo. This is not going to go over well with people. They have been giving us crap for months and now they want to raise the price. Hopefully this leads to better PS+ titles. Unfortunately I doubt it will. 3 month subs here in europe went from 11.99 to 14.99 in September last year and there hasn't been an improvement in PS+ titles since then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STFUxDxD Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 This won't go over well with those who are already on the fence about renewing their subscription. I doubt the quality of the monthly offerings will change any. Everything is the same, we just pay more for it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PooPooBlast Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Couldn't you buy now like 3 or 4 cards at current price and use codes when your membership expires? Or will the $50 codes won't work upon activation after Sept. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofa King Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) If you have "free" games from the IGC then you need PS+ to be able to play them. No plus, no access. It's the only reason I keep it , along with the cloud saves. I'm certainly not getting my hopes up for higher price PS+ equating to higher IGC quality.

DesuDesuNya Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Will this take effect in Europe too? It only said about America I doubt it, considering it was raised a few months ago in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With XBL Games With Gold, you get to keep the game even if your membership expires. Now that PS+ is going to be $60 also, Sony really needs to adopt the same idea.

Back in the day when they used to have sales on subs the guys n gals that ran the blog posts would actually advise people that you could do that. I bought 3 years at once one time lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post audiopile Posted August 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2016 Whinge, fucking whinge, fucking whinge...... people these days really fucking shit me, "gimme, gimme, gimme" expect everything handed to them on a silver platter, & god help you if it's not gold plated or they have to actually pay for it, In this case the cost of a product is increasing while the quality of said product is decreasing. Your rant is better suited to other topics. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabmorais_2011 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I got so many games right now that IGC is the least of my worries (always saw the games as a bonus anyway, especially after the PS4), and to be honest, apart from it, the service is more stable than on PS4 launch and with more cloud space. Is a price increase after all these years really that surprising? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I may buy two memberships or and use them at once. Or perhaps ill wait for future updates to see what Sony will offer in return to the price increase.

NetEntity Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Wowee, right before my birthday, what a present, many thanks, Sony. My Plus expires in May, so I won't need to pay for a long time yet, but with this pleasant development I'm considering to buy another year. Because it holds dozens of my unplayed Plus games hostage and the cloud is too much of a godsend and I don't want to let it go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a hell of a lot of money that Sony is demanding from people and we don't feel like we've gotten our money's worth. The sales aren't mindblowingly amazing like they're made to seem and the IGC is ass. Don't demand $60 from paying customers if you're not going to put effort into making sure we get amazing value. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post madbuk Posted August 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Woo, now we get to pay extra for our monthly dose of bottom of the barrel indie garbage! How exciting! Seriously though, don't expect the quality of the Indie Garbage Collection to improve. This isn't the first time PS+ prices have increased since the service went to shit, and the IGC quality didn't improve then either. Whinge, fucking whinge, fucking whinge...... people these days really fucking shit me, "gimme, gimme, gimme" expect everything handed to them on a silver platter, & god help you if it's not gold plated or they have to actually pay for it, Don't do this. Do you know why people expect to be given good games? Oh, I don't know, it might be because we used to get good games? We used to get multiple AAA games per month, at a cheaper price than the service is going to be now. Gee, I wonder, 6 shitty indie games per month (with the very rare indie game that is actually pretty good) vs about 5 AAA games + 1 indie per month at a cheaper price point. Which is more appealing? They set a standard in 2013 and they have gone FAR below that standard for the past couple of years. And now they have the fucking audacity to charge us more for such an awful service? Fuck off Sony. The only reason I'm still subbed at this point is because I have unfinished PS+ games. Edited August 22, 2016 by madbuk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyrious Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Higher price might mean better game offerings. It's hard to be in favour for this move, but we'll see what happens I guess. My Plus ends 4/14/17, so I guess I'll buy a code from Costco at the end of the month since they're $46 CAD currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowReplicant Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 5 dollars per month is still pretty manageable, all things considered. That being said, I'm not exactly ecstatic about Sony's monthly freebies; they should definitely up their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittens Are Awesome Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I like how EU got a price hike a few months back and I don't remember a bitching thread about it. Was there a bitching thread? There sure is a lot of complaining going on here for a measly 0.83c a month price hike. Come on people, take 2 less trips to Starbucks a year, price covered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decrease in quality "free" games, forced to pay now for online service and Sony jacks up the price. You Sony fanboys crack me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
