Reasonable questions So that new PS Plus announcement from Sony is… kind of bad? Why wouldn’t they announce all the games at the same time? Why is all this being done via low effort blog posts?

You know, games from the most successful home console ever made?

Combined with the generally poor communication from Sony in the last few years and the sudden drying up of new game releases and I have to say I’m losing faith in their decision-making abilities right now.
