But ONLINE SERVICES ARE A SERVICE OR UTILITY. Do you ever wonder why sites like Wikipedia ask for money to keep their site up? It costs money to keep up a server. I'm referring to online services, not games. Where'd you get games from? Online is free for those devices now, but for Nintendo that's because they kept paying out of pocket to keep their servers up. If it didn't cost anything to run a server, we'd still have Mario Kart DS Servers and Devil's Third servers. Nintendo was nice enough to allow free online. Like I said, Sony and Microsoft don't make you pay because they're dicks. There's a reason. PS3 had free online for a while, but then they realized they could make money off it.

 

Also lol at the bolded, you just destroyed your entire argument by admitting the paywall is solely for additional profits, not maintaining servers as you were trying to claim earlier. Btw PS3 still has free online.

Touché XD. Sony/Nintendo/MS are the three of them evil and greedy bastards. That's for certain, they want our money. They saw an opportunity to bank more cash with paid services, and they suceeded. I think we should try to convince Nintendo to not do the same, which will probably not happen (I'm 99% sure). If not, well, we'll have to pay if we want to play online. I feel like I'm having a S&M relationship lately with gaming world. I fell constantly robbed, but I can't quit. Sadly I've just assumed that as "normal", but it shouldn't be.
