Microsoft pressured Sony into it. We were talking about this a while back how Sony would eventually start charging and they didnt. PSN+ was the creation that came out of finding an alternate way to make people pay and even Microsoft is taking that now. They aren't locking people out of complete online experience like MS is doing, they are just makingt he multiplayer a PSN+ Perk.

How exactly did MS pressure Sony into it?? You do come out with some balony STAGE.

You don't have to believe me but I've been talking about this for years. Ever watched Pachter or Bonus Round? The industry analysts have been talking about MS gaining profit from online gaming hand over fist while Sony suffered with free online gaming while they were barely profitting off of the PS3. For years they had been stating eventually Sony will cave to the pressure Microsoft has set in front of them to go for paid online. I believe it was Pachter who said they would not be able to sustain PSN Plus and giving away games.Pachter has been saying for years that Xbox Live has been past the pure profit stage for the venture for years. Many people articles have been written talking about the more positive affect PSN Plus is having on console gaming and the message its sendng. I've already paid for it and luckily for MS gamers MS learned how to give back to gamers even though they got Sony to cave into the paid multiplayer process. At least Sony doesn't block us off from the online experience nor F2P games which arent needed.
