I'm really disappointed that they are doing this. Was PS+ not enticing enough to attract the numbers? Why can't they leave it to the optional approach. I have Plus till 2015, but I feel that online multiplayer should be free. I'm so torn right now but PS4 is hands down the best system, best value, and has no DRM/used game restrictions*. I understand that multiplayer is expensive to implement, but with the growing adoption of Plus and the implementation of online passes, the occasional multiplayer gamer who has limited time and is shrinking in number should be easily subsidized. I still want the PS4, but I also want to convince Sony they need to maintain the policy of optional services for consumers rather than optional consumers for services.

*outside of EA who might need a boycott.

Because the new console is using a new server farm with much higher functionality, and running such services isnt free?

Besides, it's not like you cant get deals on ps+ subscriptions like you do with xbl.
