Its supposed to be free, the only thing MS has influenced them to do is take more and more of peoples money. Sony and Nintendo had the right idea.

Naturally when Sony, the life insurance company, decides to "take more of peoples money" you somehow find a way to blame it on MS "influencing them" LOL.

Technically PSN will always be free. Sony had to find a decent way to get your money and tack multiplayer onto it. 

Except it isn't, you need to pay for it to play multiplayer = paywall.
