if this was MS or Sony there would be shit storms. this if very similar to the DRM viasco, yeah DRM is a very different thing here, but it was LEGAL for MS to do it. it was anti consumer but still legal, same thing as it is here. 

MS and Sony charge you to play games online! *sound of crickets*

and now all the flack and criticism MS got for charging for XBL for the past 2 generations never happened? they always got flack for it. and Sony got criticized for it as well, to a lower extent because A) MS did it for the past 2 gens before it B) it was announced right at the same time as the MS DRM fiasco, which made it seem like less of an issue and C) Sony already showed that they offer way more value then what you pay for in the PS+ instant game collection. yet they still got some flack for it.

whats baffling here is that you got a bunch of blind fans defending nintendo's greediness and complete lack of anti consumer behavior, just because they are nintendo.
