$€20 to fiddle around with a mobile app. Personally to me online gaming is worth no price whatsoever, but at least it's cheaper than the other services.

A $20 price increase isn't cheap. And no, nobody has complained enough yet. Imagine what would happen if MS or Sony would increase their price by $5 or Ubisoft or EA starting to demand money to play their games online. The outcry would be unimaginable.

So no, there is not nearly enough outrage to satisfy me. I demand justice!

I hope you are trolling

I hope you are.

How long it's going to take for PC games to start paying for subscription, then? Firts there was XBOX live and noone complained, then the PS4 started charging for a service that used to be free, and nobody complained, and when Nintendo does it too, most of the reactions are close to "meh" rather than an actual response. If companies see they can charge for services that once were free, what's to stop them from charging for their online on PC too? A 5-10$/year to play CoD or BF would make them lots of mad cash, and there seems to be no kind of backlash against it, so why not?

I agree $20 is a bad value proposition compared to PC. Comparing consoles, 20$ for a free service and 12 games you cannot choose yourself is a far better value proposition than 60$ for a free service and 12 games you cannot choose yourself.

PS+ also gives you discounts & cloud storage... also it's not 12 games.... you get 72 games per year with ps+ currently. I'd also rather have Life is Strange or Killing Floor 2 as free games then nes titles people have been playing for decades.

When it comes to "value" you can't say one is better then the other, it might be better for you. Both have their merits.

I'm still on the fence about my Switch. MK8 has been fun, but the UI is so incredibly bland that I simply can't see myself paying any amount just to play games online. Plus, given Nintendo's track record, I don't foresee a lot of games having online play anyways.

Besides the fact it's 72 on 3 different systems (two of which have are basically dead), I barely have the the time to play form 10 to 20 games for year, why should I care for 72 I don't even choose. Add to the fact, if a game that really interests me comes for free on PSN chances are I've already played and payed it. If you have the free time to play those and then play the games you're actually looking forward to play than yes, it's a very good value proposition.

Which is fine, Switch subscription is better for you. Doesn't mean the statement you made is right.
