What if we don't really need all those social features? and just want to play online ?, I keep going back to steam , but Steam allows you to play online for free, with voice chat, and text chat and all the features, but it doesn't force stuff like twitter , facebook and gaikai , so if they really want to make this free, just not force gaikai or other features that not a lot of people will use.

I will do a Don Mattrick here and say: PS4 is not for you then, but fortunately there is PS3 where you don't have to pay for online :P

yeah, sticking to Steam and WiiU for the time being, least till Final Fantasy releases.

On the other hand really, I would gladly pay for a quality online experience if that means I will get games with heavy emphasize on online infrastructure. Ubisoft, which almost fully supports Wii U with their new releases, won't release both The Crew and Tom Clancy's The Division (looking amazing even though I'm not MP guy) which are online based. I think there is no coincidence here.

The Crew is exactly like Test Drive Unlimited, and that game is still going free to play, there is no reason to make people pay for server managment in this day and age, since you can easily get a good server if you are a company with minimum fee, and to maintain it is not a big of a deal as these companies make it seem to be, they're just greedy.
