Well, it's not like they can charge PC gamers for something they've had for free for years and get for free from competing services like Steam. So this is expected and MS should never have charged for Live in the first place.

Now Sony have jumped on the bandwagon and it's ever so slightly annoying that console gaming online costs. I sympathise, but I'm glad I game on both platforms.

Sony was reacting to the demand seeing that Microsoft had achieved profiting off of getting people to pay for online. How were they supposed to know that MS would put their foot in their mouth again? LOL Sony was always going to allow people to do crossplay last gen free of charge, but MS wants to follow along. Doing that exposed them.
