I'm on PS+ and I'm still against it. People shouldn't have to pay to play online. PS+ is a great deal, but there are those that don't want it, and they shouldn't be forced to get it just to play a game online. A server costs next to nothing to run and maintain in comparison to what a game with good online usually makes anyways. Most online games are P2P, peer to peer. Bandwidth is next to nothing in comparison to full server support. PS+ is a great deal and it's less of a slap in the face, but it's still bs that it's required. |
This is my exact thoughts and situation on the matter.
All that said though, I do think Sony is using mandatory PS+ as a way to subsidise the cost of the box in the long run, which seems like a reasonable strategy. Plus MP seems to be the huge focus of this gen with dedicated server support for games and persistent worlds, which might be another reason for the cost.
