In what universe do you live? Ps plus is $80, not $300
So you use your PC or console for only a year?
I can use it as long as I like. Ps plus just gives you 3 "free" games a month and let's you play online with games that require ps plus. Imo the three games a month for six bucks and change is already worth it. And you keep those games for as long as you have your account, even if you don't renew your subscription. You can also just get games that don't require an online component, though those are becoming harder to find.
Eh, on PC you can keep your games forever as long as you don't lose the drive they're stored on. And you don't need to pay extra to access online features.
And you can play any generation of games going back to pong.
You definitely lose access to your “free” games if you don’t have PS+ anymore.
If we're talking raw capabilities... Piracy is subscriptionless and grants you access to virtually 99% of all games from all time and across all consoles. I'm going to say that PC is the clear winner here...
I'm not justifying console vs PC. I'm just pointing out that the $300 on the original comment I replied to for ps plus is insane. $80 a year for a positively moderated, optimized gaming experience the vast majority of the time is worth the money imo.

And you justify the value of it based on the 3 "free" games a month. To which I'm arguing against. $80 a year for the life of the console will almost certainly be more than $300. With console generations lasting nearly 5 years on average each that's actually $400 in subscriptions, keep in mind that generations have been getting longer, and seventh and eighth gen consoles lasted for 8 and 7 years respectively... So closer to $600 in cost.
I’m not justifying console vs PC.
But that's the context of the whole thread...
positively moderated, optimized gaming experience
bwuahahahah. Sure. Cause console lobbies aren't filled with kids screaming racial slurs. And it's so positively moderated that all your data including credit cards leak (https://firewalltimes.com/sony-data-breach-timeline/).
