If you're capable of affording video games, whether it be your own money or your guardians, you're expected to pay up. It's an expensive luxury, both to develop and to enjoy.
Considering the millions it takes to develop and maintain games, as well as develop new future projects, you have to remember that the entire electronic arts industry costs a lot of money. And, as far as I'm concerned, prices only go up from here.
So, the only thing I can suggest is...don't be cheap. :/

I can't believe someone still has the guts to say this. of course it's ok to pay for a GAME but no for something that should be free.

There 0 reason for it to be free when its a network (lets say Xbox live) that connects players to their games.
Thats:
1. Electricity that has to be paid.
2. Servers that have to be maintained and patched and updated
3. Staff to work on upgrades, applying new features, apps etc.
Just because you purchased physical hardware, that gives 0 right to enjoying network access, which is what everyone seems to believe when they purchase into gaming.
But, believe me, I hate it just as much as anyone else. Nothing in life is free, especially not something that gives you joy from electronics.

it has been free so far (and will continue free for nintendo). as I said before, it's ok to charge for a full of services premium online but leave the free simple option for those who just want to play online.
