Yea but Sega died in the hardware business but Microsoft made paying for online popular so....

Microsoft didn't force people to like it, they could have said no. Paying for XBL or PSN is a great deal regardless of what some people think.

They kinda did force people to buy it considering if you bought a game that had online multiplayer, the online portion wouldn't work until people paid for XBL so yea, I don't think many had a choice and those of us went to Playstation instead... Well now, psn requires ps+ to play online. I mean, how is XBL and PSN a great deal with you get the same features and more on Steam for free? Sure, you get some pre-selected games for free but the Steam sales more than make up for it considering during Summer and Winter when Steam has events, there are many ways to get the games on your wishlist for free or at a largely discounted price... Heck, PS+ and XBL basically adds $300 over the course of 5 years to the $400 console that you already paid for and for what? Features that Steam gives you for free? Heck, Steam even has mod support and family sharing which are also free that ps+/xbl doesn't even have

I mean, don't you think its kind of sad that a service that people have been paying for all these years is lagging behind a free service?
