Lol I don’t know why this person is trying to hard to defend Sony. This is clearly their last attempt to get people who haven’t played the game yet to play it before ragnarok comes out.
As has already been stated the game has: been out for four years and has been heavily discounted both physically and digitally, was part of the ps play ps5 collection, been part of ps now, and was released on pc. If you haven’t played it yet you are either not interested or are literally waiting to get it for “free”. Good business decision by Sony, not so good for core ps plus consumers, which is a valid critique if what you value out of your subscription are the monthly games.
