Sony Interactive Entertainment has left Turkish PlayStation Plus subscribers stunned and infuriated as they announced a staggering price increase of over 600% for the monthly subscription service. Effective immediately, the monthly cost has surged from 400 Turkish Lira (TRY) to a jaw-dropping 2,340 TRY, sending shockwaves through the gaming community.
I love how this article leaves out the fact that Turkey has debased the value of its currency so much in recent years that the government has now had to raise the interest rate to 25% to try to address the issue:

To put that in perspective against the inflation problem in the US, the Federal reserve has only raised the interest rate in the US to 5.5% to limit inflation, and people consider that high.
Woah! Not jealous.
Whilst their currency did take a knock, a 600% increase is definitely not justified and based on pure greed. This should serve as a warning for the future some of you numbnuts are promoting, an all digital and subscription future will look like this irrespective of platform.
Yeah they closed that loophole quick after the report of that one gamer stacking subs all the way to 2050 for a very low price (compared to US funds).
