I will probably quit console gaming altogether if Nintendo started charging for online play and they'd make more money selling games than giving them out for free.

ps plus has saved me hundreds of euro on games. how is that a bad thing? you also discover many great games you'd never otherwise have bought. it's a service loved by millions and nintendo doing it would be the best thing ever for those who don't buy all their games upon release.

Let's look at it this way, in the 360/PS3/Wii era, if you wanted to compare online services, PS3 was hands down the best because it didn't cost anything for online play and PS Plus was optional unlike Microsoft's fucking bullshit last gen, while the Wii had pretty basic stuff but the hardware was too weak to take real advantage of it's free service until the Wii U came out. I never subsribed to PS Plus because I didn't need it as I had plenty of other games or better versions on PC that I wasn't bound to a single eco system so it was meaningless to me. Then Sony decided that instead of being optional now, you have to pay to play online just like XBL with the PS4 and as soon as they announced it, I decided to not buy the fucking PS4 until the price drops/used to certain points and there are JRPGs and single player games I really want to play. Now, if Nintendo comes out with a sub service like the PS3 PS Plus but still with free online play, then what the fuck ever I don't care, and that's why I still have my PS3, because that'd be optional, but, if they go pay to play online, my ass is out, I survived fine without Nintendo shit for 10 years before I got my Wii, and I have no problem dropping console gaming forever cause at the end of the day, I'll still have my PC/3DS(or whatever is next)/and my smart phone, so pay to play online can fuck off, and sub to free shit is just fine by me, only I won't ever use it so it doesn't mean much to me.
