Why is no one complaining about paying for PSN?

This is the top excuse I hear:
"I don't mind paying for PSN because I get so much value out of it"
Even though just a year ago you would see a bunch of people crying about MS charging for XBL.

Come on guys, bring better arguments than this sense of "double standards".

 

People were bitching about XBLive because other than online gaming, what did it give you? Take a moment to answer that.

 

Once you are done answering please answer this:

 

What do you get with PS+?

What do you mean? I happily pay for both services. Obviously tens of millions of gamers find value in paying for XBL.

Of course they did, at time of XB360 launch and even at the time of PS3 launch the 360 had the premiere online gaming service. By 2008-2012 that was no longer the case as Sony reduced the gap.

Now MS is beginning to try and add value by giving free games, just like Sony does with PS+. Only issue I have though is that they tend to be incredibly old titles. Yes, you get to keep them forever, but they are old and in some cases, like with GoW, the first game in a franchise with (4) titles.

It is getting better though.

People should stop thinking it is 100% double standards when in fact right now the reactions are different because the entire landscape has changed.

I agree, all I said was that their was a lot of people complaing about Xbox Live before Sony announced PS4 online would require PS+. Which I don't mind at all.
