Asking people to buy for online gaming nowadays is like losing many potential buyers. Not many people are willing to pay for such a basic feature.
If the rumor is true, we'll see the rise of PC gamers for sure..

Hope it false, for the sake of Sony.

IDK aren't here like 40 million gold subscribers on XBL.

That's right. But I expect people to drop off of it in the coming months. People that are on Xbox Live do not feel it's worth it (most of them, well people I know at least) , so Sony would have to show alot to convince people to pay a similar fee. With Wii U going the F2P path with no multiplayer latency (as far as my experience go), I just don't see another gen with prenium fees for online multiplayer. PS+ is fine since it gives great offers on games and more, but please don't make people pay to play! The only case I can see a game asks for subs is Destiny, but I believe it will be an MMO, so there will be updates all the time.

But paying 60$/year to play COD with your friends (reason why theres 40M gold subs, along with Halo), that is just ridiculous.

I don't say it won't happen, but I just find it a bit suicidal if they incorporate it.

And if they don't, I can see alot of MS gamers switching to PS4: if 720 asks for subscription fees...
