I still don't understand how one can be paying for multiplayer in this day and age for a system that is so locked down and restricted that you should be getting paid to use. I mean, can anyone else imagine this happening on any other platform?

This probably explains it best.

"PSN is not an acceptable substitute for Xbox Live, though it's often said to be, because in order to appear reasonable it is sometimes necessary to say things which are untrue. The only way to say something like that with a straight face is if you don't have experience with both, or if you don't play a lot of online games with friends. Even ancillary things like how it updates games (or the box itself) aren't up to par. I've had that fantasy before, believe me, the one where I shift my allegiance: Bluetooth headset slung firmly over the ear, I would set out to found a virtuous kingdom. But then I couldn't chat with whoever I wanted, when I wanted to chat with them. I couldn't form a game independent group to plan the evening's adventures, retain communications, or simply to mute every other person on the service. Invites don't manifest themselves in any kind of consistent form. These aren't little things - they're baseline functionality. It would be great if Sony offered a product this absolute, but they have chosen not to do so."

Well ok, that may explain the PS thing, but then what about all the dozens and dozens of services on the PC which do offer all of that, free of charge, and you can be a proud homosexual as much as you want?
Edit: On the upside, he seems to have his wits about him too:
"But God damn can I hold a grudge, God damn; and making me resent you is the first step to my courting another."
Here's to hoping people wisen up in the forseeable future.

Lots of people hate PC gaming and/or are to lazy to hook up a computer to their living room TV?
I mean, hell. Why does anyone buy ANY game on consoles that's also on PC?
