I guess that's cuz' you're already paying for Internet, and you can play online for free easily on a PC.

Doesn't bother me. I paid for PS+ before it was mandatory for MP. So nothing changed.

I don't really mind paying for it as long as it gives me a good working connection.

I had never thought about  this before and I think you're right. Good thing it didn't turn out this way I almost took a seizure thinking about it

Because I'm already paying $60 for a game and $299/$399 for a console, why should I pay an extra $5 for an essential part of a game? And then comes DLC, some microtransactions, and a season pass making a game cost ~$100... If you're fine with that, great (and I understand, specially with the "free" games), but it would bother me a lot if it comes to Nintendo consoles.

because it was something you needn't to pay for 2 years ago. Anyways, people is happy not complaining.

I really hope Sony invests some of their PSN money back into PSN. These download speeds are just stupid. I have FIOS with very good up and down speeds but redownloading this Dying Light update... lulz. Was on WiFi at first and it was telling me 11 hours for an update less than 2GB in size. I plug it in directly and it's still saying 40 minutes, fuck. Not going to be buying digital much on PS4.

Huh.. Thats funny since steam provided all the features in online gameplay that the console does.

I've never payed for online on console. I'm doing alright if I say so myself.

Because they essentially add $200 or so to the actual cost of the console. Plus, Sony and Microsoft seem to have trouble justifying that the extra expense is worth it, especially with things like security breaches, online services being down for periods of time, and the high standard set by the PC as mentioned above.

I'd imagine that people who wanted more of a single player experience would also be annoyed, especially since many games only feature online support in small ways, but I'm not sure why these people would buy a PS4 or XOne as of right now.
