[VERGE] Sony is raising PlayStation Plus prices up to $40 per year
Even the Essential Plan is seeing a price hike.

Haha, no thanks. Playing online should be "free" - included in the price of the game. Yes, hosting costs money, but Sony doesn't host game servers for third party games.
Playing online is free on PC, and so are cloud saves in most launchers.
Fuck vendor lock in.
This is the prime reason I stopped buying consoles.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
If you’re currently subscribed to PlayStation Plus, Sony says the price increase won’t take effect until your next renewal date or after November 6th.
However, if you make any changes to your subscription, “such as upgrades, downgrades or buying additional time,” you’ll have to pay the new rate.
Sony says the price hikes will go into effect globally and will allow the company to “continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits” to the service.
It adds that the yearly plans will still come at a discounted rate as opposed to the one- or three-month subscriptions that it offers.
Launched last year, PlayStation Plus is Sony’s answer to Xbox GamePass, which allows you to play a rotating selection of games each month.
For the month of September, PlayStation Plus will include Saints Row, Black Desert: Traveler Edition, and Generation Zero.
