I took out the photo you had in your OP cause it's a bit much. You can add a real PSN photo if you want though.

Most PS3 owners around here probably already subscribe to PS+. Not like they're going to have to pay more on PS4.

I was willing to pay for live though begrudgingly, so I will pay for the PS4 if I feel like it. It have been trained into submission by MS.

Pffff. Magical Drop was much better!

well it seems like for most sony fans on this site, they fell into 3 categories.

1) the largest group were already PS+ subscribers, due to all the free and discounted stuff it gives you, including, auto-updates, downloads, cloud storage, etc. So when Sony made online for PS4 require PS+, it did not affect them, as they were already subscribers for other reasons. Most of these people, myself included were disappointed with multiplayer being behind a paywall, but were nonetheless unaffected, so we didnt put up much of a fuss.

2) the second group, and probably the smallest. Complained a lot, and were outraged, and either wont buy the system or just wont play online ever.

3) the middle group, were people who did in fact complain, but sucked it up and accepted the paywall.

for me i fall into the first group. I was already a PS+ subscriber, so i was unaffected. I was still disapointed at the policy, but it didnt matter much to me, as i get free or discounted games on PS3, PSV, and PS4 (and even PSP i think, but i havent played that in a while).

I have a Vita and PS3, currently getting five free games a month. I've been paying for PS+ before the announcement, so really can't complain.

Let's see wipeout HD was 1.5 years old and Assasin's Creed II is 4 years old.  Thanks for the back up!  I love it when people support my point!

Iron Brigade, a game offered with Xbox Live Gold, is 2 years old, (or three, I don't remember now) and a game worth playing that is. So your point really has no substance, because lack of information can be sometimes someone's worst enemy ;)

Don't you get free games??? So your not paying for just online gaming.

I'm never used the PSN, but by the sound of it seem like your screwing Sony and too good to be true.
