Everyone not already on PS+ already complained about it. Even some people on PS+ complained. The only people who'll tell you no one complained are Xbox fans who'll use it to win a petty argument on an online forum. Stage already pointed out the reason why. Microsoft's long time use of XBL Gold showed that people will pay for it, even with nothing extra. Sony was already offering PS+ with five free games a month to around two million subscribers, and to console games who have no where else to turn to for free online except PC, unless you want no games on the Wii U, then they matched Microsoft's policy in order to get money. There's nothing we can do about the online. Complaining and accepting it if we want to play online on PSN or ignore it if we don't. About all the free games that people seem to disregard because people are forced to get PS+ in order to play online. Even on just VGChartz, whenever PS+ is brought up, you always see people that don't know how it works. Some people often posting that they think you lose the game after it's no longer free on PSN, others who think you get the games for free for a year and then lose them, and then the others who know that every game you get for free you keep as long as you're subscribed to the service, even if your plan lapses and you purchase it again. PS+ only doesn't sell well because of how many people who don't full understand how it works. It's such a good service that after the announcement of PS+ being required for online, most Xbox fans who were going to switch over catching wind of it and complaining about Microsoft offering nothing but still requiring to pay online, Microsoft did the same thing. Microsoft wouldn't try and follow suit by giving free games per month if they didn't think PS+ games were a threat. But hey. Look at all the Xbox fans attacking Playstation fans for succumbing to paying for online when those same Xbox fans have probably been doing so for 13 years with no benefit attached. Talk about a hypocritical bunch. For those Xbox fans that don't pay for online and can now watch Netflix, Hulu, etc, for only your $8 a month, you can thank Sony. |
This did not start as an attack on sony for charging for PS+. It started because all of a sudden, even though this is EA's fault, Microsoft's online policy had to be brought into this thread for no reason. Its sad that it has gone this far without a mod warning of derailing the thread. If I had a PS4 I would be paying for online no problem with my Xbox Live because I'm an adult and internet savy enough to get a deal. Live was definitely worth it back when Halo 2 was popular and its still worth it now.
