1 or 2 of the free test months coming with each console and the occasional free weekends and 48h codes that come with games and thats it :)
I see no reason in paying for something that should be free.
Gaming companies decided to remove player hosted servers (like on PC. Where you create your own server and people join). They also decided to make it pay2play for EVERYONE not only strangers playing with strangers or people participating in tournaments etc. (why do I have to pay when I want to play with my friends? rofl?)
It is pure greed IMHO and only people that want to play on official anti-cheat servers with strangers etc should be forced to pay. People like me that only want to play with friends (and mostly COOP) games should not pay because I know my friend is not cheating and therefore there is no need for official anti-cheat-servers or whatever.
Also Sony adopted that not because they cannot keep the servers running without it but because they DONT WANT TO. They even said that offering free online was one of the worst decisions last gen because Microsoft made so much money.
And I dont want to be part of that.
