You are the only person that took it that way, you lack even the most basic reading comprehension skills. Almost every time I see that Solid Snake avatar I skip your posts, because it hurts myt head to read such mindless dribble.

Well I know it doesn't cost a billion dollars annually to deliver online play. I mean Sony doesn't lose a billion dollars offering it for free.

the servers cost alot and the exclusivity that they try to purchase costs alot

Also, they make enough to have Activision and EA complaining.

the Activision and EA complaining isn't about what MS makes

its that more people have to pay for XBOX LIVE to play online and also when people play the games online,they forget about other games

It also motivated Sony to offer PSN Plus.

how the hell is PSN plus motivated by it as it is a totally different service

According to the link below, Blizzard only spent $200 million on operational costs for WoW, between the years of 2004 and 2008. Not bad considering they generate hundreds of millions annually.

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2330507,00.asp

With that said, it must only take a small fraction of Gold subscriptions to cover the cost of the servers. MS purchases exclusives with the shit ton of profit they earn from Gold subscribers.

Bullshit, the Activision CEO has complained that MW2 is the most played game on Live yet MS is the one earning from Gold subscriptions. EA has been struggling with MS since the original Xbox basically the same reason.

Simply offering a pay service was clearly motivated by Xbox Live. They even offer some of the same benefits as Gold accounts. I think by the time the PS4 rolls around, PSN Plus will be required for online play.
