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.

It doesn't matter what I think because I have no evidence on what Naughty Dog did to develop that remake, at the same time neither are you. And you are completely disregarding the fact that it was requested after the PS4 release, by fans, and by those who didn't play the game beforehand. Nobody forced anyone to buy the game twice. And Sony didn't force the rest of us to have crappier hardware and or pay a higher price because some people wanted backwards compatibility.

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.

And why exactly do you believe that you are entitled to PS+? Why should PS+, which as always been a premium service on top of PSN now be free? Not to mention, you're just biased unless you ask this of all of the big 3, especially Nintendo and Microsoft which are much healthier companies financially.

You know what, "Charging users for a service that should be free is anti-consumer." this has got to be the most asinine statement I have ever read on the internet.

There is no such thing as a free service. 

 

Games take more than 3 months to go from idea to released copy in this day and age, even remasters. That's not speculation, that's common knowledge. So Sony held off on telling people it was coming to PS4 to sell more PS3 copies and get more double dips.

And demand the same of all the big 3. If Nintendo announced tomorrow they were making their online service a paid one, I would criticise them and label it an anti-consumer move.
