I somehow feel any poster who argues the merits of PS Plus loses credibility from this point....since the majority of PS3 users clearly don't see the merits themselves. |
No, that doesn't make any sense, especially considering PS+ membership "nearly doubled" after E3.
It would be hard for me to argue against PS+, considering I'm already a member. Clearly, I thought it had value even before it became a multi-player pay-gate. Even then, my two biggest complaints about Gold have always been that putting video/non-gaming services behind a pay-gate is bad and that the service offers no intrinsic value beyond what it takes away in the first place.
I don't really like multi-player being gated off but as long as they make it worthwhile, I can't complain all that much. I mean, seriously, I like what PS+ brings to the table even without multi-player and I would have kept subscribing regardless.
