PS4 Now requires PS+ for MULTIPLAYER!

I hope they make a feasible monthly plan, I only play online for a month or two at a time between 6-15 months of offline. So an annual plan doesn't work for me

If there is no short term plan, I'll have to hold off my PS4 purchase to offset this extra fee.

Still, nice to hear PS4 plays retail games forever.

PS + has a 3 month option for like 13 bucks or something.  My friend actually did that to play Monkey Island.  

@OP.  I'm seveely disappointed.  I understand a fee for Destiny, Elder Scroll, or other titles that needs a server for persistant gameplay.  But something like Street Fighter where it can be done P2P, there should be no need for subscription.  This soured the entire conference for me.  Sad cause I don't think I'd actually let my subscription expire since I get so much out of plus, but I am soo disappointed with this.

Well, that's not too bad then . I don't have a PS3 atm (getting one this fall when the sales start), but I hear PS+ gives you a lot of free games and discounts. $13 for 3 months isn't too bad, I'll likely pick up a couple old games in the process.

Problem solved, excited about PS4 now, but I still have to wait on it. Never had any good experiences with Non-Nintendo 1st gen consoles (they all broke on me). Plus, since I'm getting a PS3 this fall, I need at least a year to go through all the games I missed out on, especially The Last of Us and Gran Turismo 6.
