The new episode DLC is $20 so that means if you bought the game when it came out for $60 you are paying $80 for the complete game, but if you didn't buy the game you now can get the complete PS5 game for $70. And if your smart Amazon has the PS4 version for $30 so you can get that upgrade it to PS5 version buy the DLC and get the complete game for $50. Is it just me or do you feel like your being punished cause you supported the game from day one, why not make the DLC $10 for owners of the PS4 version. I hope the DLC is 10-15 hours long for that price (nope its 4-5). Also giving the PS4 game for free on PS+ and then not letting people upgrade it to PS5 is another dick move LBH.
That's always the price of being an early adopter. $10 can be a lot for some folks, but I also think it's fairly reasonable for having earlier access to the content. I paid my $80 CAD at launch to play it and have no regrets because I was able to experience the content without worrying about any spoilers, and got to participate in the zeitgeist of all the fan speculation, spoiler videos talking about the ending, and all that other stuff. For me personally, that is well worth the extra $10, but again I do understand everyone's financial situation is different.
If anything, the thing I'm a little more miffed about is the new Yuffie content being exclusive to PS5, especially with that console still being exceptionally hard to find for many people. I mean I get it, you spent a lot of time and resources to spiffy up the game for PS5 and you want to push people towards the "definitive" version, but if anything that's more of a slight towards loyal FF fans than the $10 imo.
Finally, no, they aren't dicks. They gave away a GREAT game for "free" to PS+ subscribers less than a year after the game was released, how often do you see that? Having already done that, they don't owe people anything else on top of that. Had Square chosen not to work with Sony to give away FF7R for free on PS+, would you still be calling them dicks? I would assume not. But instead they did something kind of cool for folks, and get called dicks for that? That's some extreme entitlement when they could've just as easily given you (not you specifically OP, you in the general sense) nothing.
If you paid for it, get the better version on us. If you got it for free, enjoy it, and if you want the better version you can pay for it to support the developers, or wait a while for a sale and pick it up on the cheap. Seems perfectly fair to me. /shrug
