PS Plus gets no new PS1 games for August showing lack of Sony clarity

This reminds me of when they began releasing "remastered" classics early in the PS4 cycle. Like Bully, destroy all humans 1 & 2 and a handful of Star Wars and other games. But after a few months they gave up on the idea and that's all we got.
I'm sticking with the standard PS Plus. I know it's only a matter of time before they pull the plug on bringing PS1,PS2 and such to the current platforms. Sony have said in the past that backwards compatibility was never for them.

Premium is a rip off. At least with PS NOW you could sub to that on its own and not even sub to PS+ and still play online multiplayer in PS NOW games.

If they keep dishing out free monthly games I already own, then will not sub to anything. I would sub to PS NOW only if it still existed.

They have really messed up their subscriptions

I'll wait more than one subscription update before I throw a fit.

TwilightShadow22 said:I am not throwing a fit from one month of lack of games, but the fact you can not get Premium (previously known as PS NOW) now without subscribing to PS+ (essential) as it is. But with months like this it does it no favours in changing my mind it is worth it.

PS NOW was a service with adding games to it, and only removed due to licence expiring and what not beyond Sony’s powers to keep. Premium is a service with games deliberately having a set timeframe.

The problem with the old back catalogue games and this has been commented on by PlayStation in the past is that most people who play these games play them for less than 30 minutes before exitting. This was one of their sole reasons a few years back for why they don't neccessarily support the older titles, not sure why they keep coming back and trying again to give up again.
