@Titntin<\/a> because I know how the real world works. It’s ok if you’re happy… but if you think this isn’t managed to the nth degree, I am a little surprised. That’s how marketing works. Make something out of nothing. Let me suggest how it would have been a bonus… tie it to Essential, meaning that it’s not timed like everything else on Extra. Or at the very least, offer a DAY ONE game. I get that you have some axe to grind (it would seem against me personally)… but don’t you think you’re taking this a little too personally for what I said?… especially after I just gave you a nod before because I agreed with you on something you posted.<\/p>\n

I’ve already said (read the follow-on comments) that I don’t have a problem with it… it’s just that this is NOT a bonus, because it’s not in addition to something that you were already getting (ie they didn’t just change their minds and say, “you know what, what the hell, let’s just throw something extra in”. They set what you get. This is planned. But I don’t have any problem with people enjoying that they got this as part of their service… just that this is marketing BS.<\/p>\n

Edit – and just to be clear… you not “expecting” happens EVERY MONTH…. that’s my point. They choose what they announce, and when (or IF). Case in point… everywhere else is getting Days of Play price cuts on PS hardware and physical games. Australia isn’t. We don’t get discounts on ANY hardware, or ANY physical games as part of the current sale. It’s not because they hate us – it’s because they’ve made a very rational business call that it doesn’t make sense to offer us discounts at this point. That’s exactly the same mentality that is driving PS+ Extra. That’s business.<\/p>\n

It’s Friday – take a break from trying to attack people for having an opinion you don’t agree with. And maybe a little less knocking back the Kool-Aid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"@Titntin because I know how the real world works.
