For 12+ hours? Literally never, actually, in the 8 years with them (maybe 2 hours at most, maybe 5 total outages ever?), and there isn’t a simultaneously free and better alternative. This fee is just there to gouge; it shouldn’t even exist.
You all constantly bitch about having to troubleshoot just to play games
Projecting much? lmfao, sorry it’s too hard for you to navigate booting up a computer, installing Steam, downloading a game, and running it, I guess. That daunting task that needs so much troubleshooting.
And besides that, a decent PC is functionally as cheap as a console when you account for online services (I’ve owned my PC for 8 years and then an additional $200 for a CPU replacement that I did of my own volition; at $80 annually, that’s $640 for online services alone, more than doubling the price of your console) and the price of games. The reason your console is cheap at the time of purchase is because it’s a loss leader. For that same amount or possibly even less, you get exactly as much flexibility as you want in everything you do, from the desktop hardware itself, to the peripherals, to the games (overwhelmingly more extensive), to the mods for the games, to backwards compat (too bad the PS5 isn’t backwards compatible with PS2 games and instead uses trashy, bootleg emulation dressed up as a “port” and sold back to you for $30; I can emulate any game I own for free meanwhile, including PS3 games), to workflow, to OS, to privacy, to look and feel, to online store I use, to software installed, to incremental upgrades. And of course a PC can do a million things a console categorically can’t on top of that; some people don’t live life just to play video games.
Peak copium that WoW = PC, meanwhile staring at thousands of online games that can be played online completely for free. Didn’t realize the PSN fee was only for a very select few online games of a specific genre which I can actively avoid.
You all are essentially stuck with fucking Microsoft
Who’s “you all”? I don’t even use Windows, you goof, and all of my games play trivially and excellently. You’re the one stuck with a massive, shitty corporation, not me. lmfao
Grow up, life isn’t perfect. You act like your WiFi you’ve paid for has never gone down before.

Cope harder.

Projection, who needs to grow up exactly? You are defending something that shouldnt even exist

By choice; they categorically don’t have to be. That’s the entire point.
