The costs for mantaining servers are extremely low today and can be covered by the physical sales. This only becomes a problem with heavy traffic, aka the more hardcore online players. What the paywall does is make everyone pay the same for different useages to justify the excessive use. This ofc also affects how active in the long run online communities can be. That is why i say what i do. But apparantly is causes alot of disconfort. What i have also said is that if you got it for the games its fine. The service is worth that (if you find them worth it). But the paywall wich is used behind the online gaming acess does not in fact benefit anyone but Sony's financials. It doesn't benefit the games nor the consumers. It's a way to fish people into the service even though it doesn't benefit anyone. The online games's service detiorate's faster because the pool is smaller than it could be. Thing like longer queues and servers closed after a year or two due to inactivity, for example. |
Lol do you not understand how business works? when Sony decided they would go for paid online they were in dire straights financially. They need that ps plus money to assist SONY to be profitable. It's not just about PLAYSTATION being profitable. They are not Microsoft who are swimming in cash or valve. The sooner you understand this concept the better.
