I think you need to look up the definition of a scam.  Sony nearly went bust last gen. They should have had this from the start with the ps3. They can easily justify the value and if you don't like any of the games I think you need to game on another platform or not game at all.  So many highly rated and diverse titles.  

 

Sony are only just turning it around and they sure as hell need the billions ps plus is going to bring them. If Nintendo could pull this off they would.  Speaking of,  they don't exactly offer the best value themselves on certain things either.  Are they a scam too? 

They went bust because they fucked up the PS3's launch, not because they gave people the option to pay for a subscription. I believe Microsoft has never profited from the Xbox division, despite demanding people to pay for online, so it's not like they were a good example to follow. Basically, what you're trying to tell me is profit > ethics. I should have expected as much. Were you one of the people championing Sony's free online last gen?

Nintendo has zero to do with this topic, given that they have never required people to pay for their online services. But please, enlighten me on how they don't offer good value.

That's the point.  Sony would have been a few billion better off if they did on ps3 and Microsoft would have lost billions more from the band.  Investors without their live revenue and potential future revenue might not even let their console exist anymore.  Sony badly need the billions too for obvious reasons and they do it in a way where gamers get amazing value.  Win win. 

 

As for Nintendo let's not drag this thread off so message me on my wall and we can continue that.
