Last gen MS started a trend of charging for Multi player.
This gen Sony is copying them and lets not forget used game prices are up to 3rd parties on PS4 as well.
I also remember Sony saying this and many a fan spent years repeating it but its suddenly BS because MS said it.
From the initial X2 reveal to now, Sony fans have been doing 180s with their opinion. They hate it til its on PS4 and its seen as a good thing. Such as paying for MP portions of games. MS does it, its bad for gamers. Sony does it and its the greatest thing for gamers ever.

I decided before the first xbox to never buy a MS console and I never will. But I also don't go around being two faced about my opinion on them. If I dislike 1 company for doing it, I will also dislike any other company that follows them.

What I have learned most this week is that Sony fans are desperate to attack MS and Nintendo in any way they can because they don't really have that much to brag about on PS4 because they just spent the last 6 months trashing Wii U for a touchscreen that PS4 has also, 6 month old ports while PS4 gets 1-2 year old ports, MS used game policy that Sony shares. NO backlash to being charged to play your games online.
You know it just hit me. if I took the 399.99 price of PS4 and then added in 6 years of PS+ the console becomes very expensive. I can build a better PC with that cash and not have limited hardware that is trying to copy what I already have in my home. I don't need a PC and a wannabe PC. I'll just use the 1k I woulda wasted on POS4 and just upgrade me PC. Granted with 16gb of RAM my current PC already blows it away.

I really think this will be Sony's last gen as a console maker. Their first two wins were flukes.

Oh and if the kid who PM sees this. I wasn't wrong on the price of the PS4. Add in PS+ which you need to online multiplayer and after a few years you will have paid upward of 1k for what amounts to a limited PC
