| DevilRising said: If true, it's not hard to believe, when you set your system up to where people CANNOT play the games they've already paid for online without being forced to have a PS+ subscription. I keep hearing people pass this ploy off as "oh, well they need to pay for the online services somehow" and "oh but you get these free games, it practically pays for itself". And yet I'm sure many of these same people saying that shit, were the same people praising PS3 for having free online last gen, and lauding that as one of many ways they would point out how PS was better than Xbox, and how shitty Microsoft was for making people pay for online. Now Sony adopts the same crappy tactic, and people praise it. Funny how that works, eh? Me personally, I'm fine sticking to Wii U and PC. Outside of MMOs, which I've never been into anyway, you still get free online play with those platforms, and there's more than enough great games available on both. |
The difference is that Microsoft didn't offer free games. PS+ actually saves you roughly 300-500 euros a year (9-12 AAA games and almost twice that number of indie games).
