Great for Sony. I hope the NX means a recovery for Nintendo.

Why I said salty is cause in response to the news tidbit you chose to single out PSN subscriptions and "forced" online as if that's the only draw to PSN. 

And I find that strange because PS+ never started of as a pay to play online service. And it was extremely successful for a service that just gave you free games and game discounts. so much so that XBL that had been doing paid online for years before PS+ copied it. 

And I don't know, but I doubt there is a living person alive that will just flat out refuse to download free games that they don't have when they are already paying for a service. But you are right tho, different strokes. 

Here is a small fact. In the 3yrs I have had PS+. I've "aquired" 89 games. Spent a total of $120 for those 3yrs of subscriptions cause you can get PSN cards for less at the right times of the year. 

89 GAMES. 

How soon we forget online passes.
I'm sure i spent more to play some 7th gen playstation games online than I spend on PSplus now

I cant understand how someone can complain about the value of these services. It is borderline trolling.

These are just sales for game downloads?
