| the-pi-guy said: I think the two biggest reasons are: A.) The competition does it. B.) They offer a lot of bonuses with it. Most of the people who would play a PS4 are most likely to either get a PS4 or a XB1. And since they're both asking for paid online, then it's a wash. Most people aren't complaining that A does it, because B does it too. If it's just one or the other, it's pretty easy to say, why are they asking for money for this? Why can't it just be free like the other guys. The free games mostly, are a really big part of why I think the rest of the group isn't complaining. It's a really nice bonus, so long as the games are interesting and what people actually want. |
Coupled with MS's pre-launch fuck ups taking up a considerable portion of people's attention, and i think you're pretty much on point here. I'm almost inclined to agree with the OT in calling it an 'achievement'. Sony played their cards to damn near perfection as far as avoiding a significant backlash went. Even most of us that were fully informed on the topic offered (and continue to offer) little more than 'Suck that they're forcing it, but ah well' 
Edit: Accidentally quoted Mr Puggsly rather than the-pi-guy. Now fixed.
