| richardhutnik said: Sony said nothing about online play being free. They just spoke of the future of their network. It is is very consuming of resources, including streaming pay. This will costs, and the features are integrated into play. There is talk of Playstation World coming out, and you see Sony is not opposed to charging people for additional services, with the like of Playstation Plus. Sony is setting up to run a network for gamers, across multiple devices, and the way to pay for that is to charge for it. Sony HAS run MMOs also, and has gone subscription route. In short, there is no signs they won't charge for online play, and a number of signs that they will. So, the question is one of seeing what people would do if the only console not charging for online play is the WiiU, if they would get one. |
They didn't say anything about them making people pay for it either. PS+ is actually worth it because they give you content worth well over the $50 I originally payed for, that is if you want the games you they give.. Just because there is talk of a Playstation World doesn't mean they are gonna make you pay for online. All apps that I pay for already should be free for us to use. And just basic online should be free. It would be good for sony to have different options for consumers.
