It's common sense that a game takes more than 3 months from conception to store shelves. I don't need proof for that any more than I need proof that the earth isn't flat.

Nintendo doesn't charge for online. Sony didn't initially either. Now they're decided to gouge consumers for more money. It's anti-consumer.

Your ignorance is pretty appauling to say the least, you need to research before you continue this any further.

FYI, PS+ started in 2010, Nintendo has no equivalent to PS+.

Furthermore, unless you are game developer it is not common sense, you are just guessing. Just like cab drivers don't figure out how to do tripple bypass surgery because of "Common Sense" if anything in game development was "Common Sense" it wouldn't require any more education then "common sense" 

Lastly, you do need proof that the earth is not flat, you weren't born knowning this fact, someone had to tell you because someone proved it with Evidence, without evidence saying the world is flat is just as valid as saying the world is round, its all nonsense.

Not to mention, if you can't simply explain how you know this 3 month thing is fact, despite being utter crap because development time varies with games being made in a matter of hours versus 10 years or more, then how is it common sense? Sense implies rationale, reasoning, reasoning requires evidence, without evidence you're just telling me the Earth is flat.

If you think a game like TLOUR goes from "hey I have a great idea" to sitting on store shelves in 3 months, I'd venure that perhaps you are the one who's not familiar with how the industry operates.

Charging users for a service that should be free is anti-consumer. PS+'s features should have been incorporated into the existing PSN infrastructure without slapping an extra price tag on it. It's a cash grab.
