It's one thing to proclaim you will be one of the PlayStation faithful for life and quite another to drop a cool two grand on banking PS Plus subscriptions. That's exactly what one power user has done «because of the absurd price increases the past few years», ensuring their access to Sony's Premium online services through 2048.
Highlighted by IGN, user On_Reddit_ In_Class decided to put their money where their mouth is, subscribing to PS Plus Premium for the next two-and-a-half decades in a decidedly baller move.

PS Plus launched initially in 2010 and certainly seems like it's here to stay, so if you can afford to and plan on playing for life, more power to you.
Launches for PS5 in 2025
Rockstar titles, Kingdom Hearts included

Trust me, nothing is guaranteed and things change.
