The thread is asking why did Sony not get the hassle Microsoft did.  I gave you the reason.  Because they offered a package where they can justify it.  Microsoft didn't and never would have if it wasn't for Sony. 

If people only want to sub for online and not get the free games then fair enough.  A lot of people didn't bother getting rocket league and ended up having to buy it later when they discovered it was one of the years best games.  So obviously a large portion are just happy to pay and play.  

Me and others who never liked the whole pay to play that Microsoft offered,  are kept happy by the monthly games. Keeps everyone happy.  Well played Sony,  well played. 

I think enjoying playing online games is what justified paying for online play. Also, Xbox had the edge in multiplayer games. I also took advage of discounts from my Gold account often.

I do give credit to Sony for the "free" games thing.  But I think the primary reason people didn't hassle Sony for charging for online play was simply because the competitor does as well. PS4 charging for online play is when Sony fans finally stopped complaining about Xbox Live.
