PSN has now been down for a full 14+ hours and Sony has not offered a timeline or explanation for when it will return.

Boy, it sure is a good thing that Sony backed off charging a subscription fee for single player PC games

To be clear, that was not a thing. Just the PSN account doesn’t require payment. The subscription is for playing in MP and (I think) access to online media like yt.

The account is step one to lock you into their ecosystem to then force payment plans.

Probably, but it hasn’t been on the table yet. Saying that it was is just going to hurt valid criticism.

Why trust a company that already charges people to play online after buying the console, and the game…

It worked the other way for me, seeing it locked me out because I am not agreeing to that

Subscription fee? Is this true? Do they have a PC Game Pass service now?
