Forums - Gaming Discussion - Sony getting away with paid online is the greatest current gen achievement so far.

It is another new advantage of PC.

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

for me 50 bucks a year is a small price to pay for the service. I will have an issue when the 3rd parties start charging a separate fee to play they games online.

FFIV came close, you have to pay to play the game through Square. But it does not require PSN. It was close though because its not like I could get rid of PSN sub fees the several months I payed for FF14.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

Don't like the fact they charge the MP, but I don't play MP... still buy PS+ because of the games though... So in the end it haven't affected me.

I still think the "free games" of PS+ did more to help Sony persuaded costumers to pay for online play than MS mistakes.

People tend to exaggerate MS errors and forget Sony's success.



Puggsly always gotta make everything PlayStation into a negative or "when Xbox done it, it was bad". Even when he says something bad about Xbox, it's usually followed by "but PlayStation also does it....".

Can you offer an opinion without playing the victim card or without mentioning the the PS in a Xbox comment and vice versa

I would respond to all the silliness in this thread, but I just don't have the energy, so:

Congrats Sony on the transition, I can't really count myself in the sample because I knew they were charging for online when they launched it but I can see that the average consumer probably didn't know. It's nice that it's only to play online and shareplay, you can still livestream, party chat and do just about everything else without PS+ and play f2p games online.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

But yes, we should mostly agree with Mr. Puggsly, in this case the biggest reason for lack of backlash is lack of option, the competitor is already doing, so complaining won't do much for the people that want to buy a new system, prefer PS and even if they choose MS they would still have to pay for online.

On value though PS+ wins because it's 6 games per month against 2 for Gold... and if I'm not wrong the Games with Gold were changed to expire with subscription, weren't it?

most people are sheep and got fooled by "free" games, which you actually don´t even own, and in most cases were bargain bin material.



If you're winning you can do everything. Learned from the best last gen.

Most people like to rather rent good games than to own bargain bin material. Because they aren't hoarders.
