No shit. Those are games. They always maintained gaming would be behind the wall. Only thing moved up are the entertainment/non-gaming apps. Same as PS4.

Well it's not the same as the PS4 then is it?

You can play F2P and MMO games on PS4 online without PS+? Pretty sure it requires the paywall as well.

No it doesn't require it.

So you can play an MMO online game without paying for the online gaming access? That doesn't make sense.

Ah correction, not sure about MMO but F2P is up to publisher (which publisher will put it behind a paywall?):

Update: Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, told Polygon that the PlayStation Plus subscription requirement is up to publishers for free-to-play PS4 games. "As far as free-to-play games are concerned, it's a publisher's decision whether they put it inside or outside of the PlayStation Plus requirements," he said.
