The average Xbox One owner spends more money than the average PS4 owner, Ubisoft report says.

PC got corrupted a long time ago. Always online fiasco's, home of 'free to play', early access aka paying for beta versions. Instead of buying one physical copy and being able to play it in lan on 4 machines, now buy 4 digital passes for a slightly discounted price! DLC gone mad, train simulator being king. Remember when all those Flight simulator add-ons were free? Star citizen looks like a pyramid scheme and more and more games are starting to sell in game assests like Shroud of the Avatar.

But true no online fee, yet.

There is still costs involved with going online tho and some games do have their own fee, there isn't a blanket "log into steam fee" but MMO's and the likes all charge you for it.

That's getting less I think? Not that the alternative provides better value with pay to win, or pay to not make it into a job. But yes there was a time I had 2 Everquest and 2 WoW subscriptions going at the same time, playing both games together with my wife. Before that I played Everquest on dial up which easily cost over $100 a month on top of the subscription. But now I'm too cheap to have both a psn and XBL memership :)

Elite Dangerous doesn't have a subscription fee, yet a $38 season pass to go beyond the basic Kickstarter content. (Damn it went down already, what a way to reward your loyal customers. I paid 30 pounds for that, the discounted early backer price = $44 or CAD 63)  And if you want to color your ship, that's 5 pounds per paint set per ship. What's not corrupt about PC gaming!
