Money i was glad to pay even for a digital product as long as i got a solid saving.

Piracy isn't a provision problem. It's become a pricing issue imo and these companies deserve it more and more everyday with the way they're going. It's pure price gouging moat times.

On the subject of rising prices, Sony just announced PS5 consoles will see an immediate price increase. At the moment, it's still 499 for PS5 Slim. I guess that'll jump up to 549 soon.


EDIT:
For 4.99 on PS5, I carefully read the listing on PSN store for the digital game, and it said "Online Optional", and 1 Player with Bots. Campaign and for Missions. The graphics look good, and I'm not a FPS fan, but I wanted to explore some of these maps just for the fun of it.

Turns out, the game IS playable offline and with Bots that you assign even in the Multiplayer modes while you are fully offline. I just finished a mission in the city with 3 other bot CPU players on my team. When buying the game, it forced a screen with PS Plus plans. I backed out of it with circle, and then it brought me to the confirm purchase screen to buy it. So I was able to avoid PS Plus entirely.

The campaign is more restrictive.

The mission are restrictive too but not as much. I wandered through some stores and got to the rooftop as the Police attack in waves. Not bad and good controls. Restrictive in that if you wander out of the play zone, the screen grays out and says return to the mission area BS. Maybe there is a mode that allows free roam? I'll check.

I'm a fan of Michael Madsen in some of his movies so I gave it a chance partly for that reason, but mostly to explore the environments offline.

Not too bad for 4.99.
