Not paying for PS+ doesn't change the thing that you still have to pay some fee to access some content you bought. Imagine if you play The Last of Us or Doom 4. Both games you play mostly for the single player, great solo experiences, and you enjoy them fully without even getting to the online portion. But you still paid for their multiplayer, maybe a 10% or 15% of the 60€ went to the multiplayer, but you still have no access to content you paid for. And that keeps piling up, game after game, and at the end of the gen you have quite an important amount of money spent on something you can access unless you pay some more. It's ransom, give us money oryou won't be able of use part of the game you paid for.

And that's without going to multiplayer focused games. Without PS+, Overwatch, PvZ and the rest of them are basically thin air. A cup holder, and if you bought it digital, even less.

Again, if it was a problem with multiplayer in general, this wouldn't be an issue, but the fact you can't access the content you bought is what really urks me. And this is just going to go worse and worse.

Ok, I see where you're coming from.  And what I'm about to say doesn't excuse what's being done.  As we know, most new games retail for $60 new.  I can see where both single player and multi player contents are on the disk, but someone such as myself can only access the single player content because I have no interest in multi player.  But the publisher/developer probably would have charged $60 anyway if only single player content alone was on the disc.  In this case (but I suspect there are other cases), I honestly don't see it being an issue.

That's true, but it still doesn't make it right. If anything, it makes it less fair, because they are not adapting their prices to the demand of the consumers.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
