So what exactly is people paying for on consoles?. online should be free the extras should be optional. but i do blame ms for this, sony just seen how much money they was making and joined in now Nintendo too |
I shouldn't have said "Free" I should have said "games included with the sub".
I know there are things like this but it just gave them out. EA used to give out free games too on Origin (I got ME2 and DA:O from it), they have a service now, so probs never will again. And I've over the years received many games from both Steam and PSN for nothing (not just PS+, literal freebies) just because they gave them. Epic seemed to do it because they were trying to get people on their service/market place, to move away from Steam. Are they still doing it? The free games per month?
In reality and answer to your question? No idea really. Infrastructure is all I can answer.
But how that works with the idea of F2P games not needing it? Heck, Google and MS just give people free cloud storage.
Although I do think the Share Play feature Playstation does is amazing.
I do wonder, if next gen, Sony came out and said "We are charging more for our games but we will no longer require PS+" to play online, I do think there will still be a bunch of people moaning that they are paying more for games.
Hmm, pie.
