But who forgot about it? Who is saying it holds no value? It just seems silly to me JUST LIKE IT DID LAST gen when people would try tu use it. No one is saying free online is not great because it is. But to use it as a way to "make the price of a console look higher" is just plain silly. You might as well add in games you buy, power comsumption, netflix, hulu and other apps that you use as well. The extra conrollers you have to buy if one dies or messes up or just if you want to play with more than one person etc. But no one does all that hence the reason trying to throw the "online" in is as silly now as it was then when people were using it. |
I see a lot of people on this site disparaging Nintendo's network and essentially saying it is of little value. But that's neither here nor there. You're right about adding in all of the other costs of owning a console, like controllers, memory, power consumption et al. A responsible consumer considers all of it. Doesn't change the fact that free online is free, and paywall online is behind a paywall, especially on consoles that feature several games that are essentially unplayable without it, like Titanfall.
