CORRECTION: James Thorpe himself has come out and said on the EU Playstation Blog that Eurogamer is in fact wrong. You can find the link below and the explanation below.

Update: Eurogamer has this wrong. You DO get to keep the DLC and add-ons to games that you acquire through Playstion Plus. However, Premium game content will expire when your subscription runs out. An example of Premium game content is the Private Member Club in Playstation Home. This will not be accessible if you cancel your subscription. They hope to bring more content like this in the future. However, your game add-ons/dlc/themes/avatars are safe.
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Still a great deal IMO, I have had more than the value easily already in discounts etc
PS plus is an awesome deal, with much more than your monies worth of content.
PS1 games
Minis
Dynaminc themes
Avatars
Special Offers
Priority Beta Access
PSN games
all for £40/$50!
Dude they already said this on E3..
Well the DLC to keep was the reason I got PS+, so I just put this reaction on the EU blog. I wouldn't have gotten PS+ without it, so the deal actually changes from what I thought I would get offered.
'Honest mistake' deluded me in my buy. Do not want it anymore like this, thus:
"“”Premium game elements and add-ons are not part of the core monthly content… incorrect… honest mistake…”. Your mistake makes my view on the deal, if I’d knew it at that time, turn around on what I’m getting and paying for.
Thus as is written in several laws: if the seller makes an offer, and the buyer agrees on the offering and the price a deal is made. If the seller on purpose or mistake makes an error in the offering, which the buyer couldn’t know about, and the seller changes the offering after the buy there is a shortcoming in the execution of the service. In that case, the buyer can ask for a partly restitution of the original price paid or can choose to end the agreement/service where the seller has to return the total amount of money paid for the service/product.
For a large share I’m disappointed in my buy. Maybe I would want to stay PS+ member, but it depends on the partial restitution or offer you make me as this is not the service/product I thought to buy made by your ‘mistake’ or better said wrong information that got me deluded in buying PS+.
I want a personal reaction on this. The DLC to keep was the reason I bought PS+, otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten it…"
I would have bought the Motorstorm 2 DLC and Killzone 2 maps by myself otherwise but was thinking to have a better deal if it were given to me by PS+. SIGH! Now its not for me to keep, just a rental. FUUUUUUUUUU SONY!
they did...it was mentioned that once subscription ran out access to all the stuff would be blocked
its PS+ content...
its like saying when you stop paying for XBL you lose access to the net
or else people would exploit it (get sub for one product, buy the stuff, never sub again = loss)
hey, its not perfect but whom ever expected it to be the other way around are just dreaming
to me, PS+ isn't worth it, but i'm not going to bash it just because I don't agree with it, its just not for me
if you are willing to dish out 60+$ for internet or you're willing to dish out 60$+ for extra content, enjoy, its your money!
I personally don't like subscription payments =|
