Are console owners literally fucking braindead?

How in the world did Sony manage to go from free online on the PS3 to jewing its customers on the PS4 without meeting any backlash? If anything they're thriving for it.

Does anyone else own a PS4 and not pay for online on principle?

Sony was 4the gamer and stood up to microsoft and stopped consoles from becoming just PCs with underpowered hardware, with none of the benefits and all of the downsides, and people didn't care as it was a price to pay for "freedom" and the xbox refugees were already use to paying for online Both systems are really on the edge of becoming PCs with none of the benefits on consoles all the downsides of being a pc, and no games though

also sony disgutingly managed conditioned a large portion of their fanbase into paying a monthly fee for a service by using their data leak, and month long psn shutdown to springboard PS+ by giving everyone a free month and having get hooked into it and becoming used to paying a monthly fee

As a PC gamer this really pisses me off even though I can easily afford it, and I generally won't pay for it on principle. The PS+ games mean nothing to me because I always have enough games that I actually want to play, and they aren't the ones that are on PS+. I paid for online while I was playing bloodborne, but that's it. I would only pay for online it if it's a console exclusive of extremely high quality that benefits from online. Bloodborne is the only game in that category for me, effectively making consoles singleplayer only for me. If such a time came when all the console exclusives had significant online-only tie-ins or were co-op/otherwise online based, I would probably quit buying consoles altogether.

MS lost something in the vein of 70% of it's userbase to the PS4 in the transition between generations. Those people were paying for online, and paid online was something people weren't actually complaining about despite what people here will tell you, so they took advantage of it.

Your point? Only retards sell their old consoles for newer ones. Besides, PS Plus (assuming you buy more than one year of it) costs more than buying a fucking PS2.

I refuse to buy XBLG or PS+ exclusively for multiplayer. I buy it from time to time if there is a game that omes with it or if it is for one dollar for a whole month like last year XB had it - like now XBL Gold has Bayonetta, which I wanted to play for a long time, so this is great deal.
I haven't bought XBLG or PS+ otherwise.

Because Xbox literally made their console useless by basically saying they'll have all the same games as PC, but they run worse? And remember they were the first to jump on preventing you from playing a used game.

Do you honestly expect Xbox to last after they basically said it's worthless since PC is getting all the same games anyway? Microsoft still doesn't make nearly enough money from their game division compared to their software division to think they need to keep hardware on the market if they just ditch it for PC focus and only focus on software sales.

>How in the world did Sony manage to go from free online on the PS3 to jewing its customers on the PS4

because they saw Microsoft was doing it, and therefore realized they could do it too, and simply by giving you """free""" games every month people would eat that shit up because there is no alternative.

with the PS3 they had to actually compete with the 360 due to their fucked launch. considering how expensive the PS3 was, while the 360 offered price tiers, free online became a selling point when 360 went with paid online.

But with the PS4, this time, Microsoft is the one that shot itself in the foot with their launch, so Sony could pretty much do anything they wanted without harm.

Is it even worth owning Ps+? I have a playstation but the only good games on it are all singleplayer anyway, there's no real point to paying the sub. Any multiplats I just play on PC.

Most people use it to play with friends as the PS4 is the normie box.

This 2bh, I was PC first and foremost until everything became an eternal rental dependent on the whims of foreign megacorps

I use 14 days accounts always on ps4, thats how i get free ps plus also, never pay for a full price game, use game sharing or used games, never pay more than 20 for a game

The Xbox One reveal was so bad, people eat up everything Sony said after they were promised they can have used games on the system.

Yeah, and those people are just as retarded. IF something is free, not "free", but actually FREE, then that would mean it comes with no price, no cost to you.

That is like saying you pay for a meal at Olive Garden because of the "free" bread-sticks. That shit ain't actually free, it is just an additional incentive to get you to buy their other food.

Price increase at the end of the year if you have a US account. The European and Jap folk already got a price increase as of this month. Hell, the Switch was supposed to start charging for online this month, but put it off until the start of next year after everyone freaked out over how shitty the mandatory phone app was that you have to use to voice chat.

Long story made short, never let a company cuck you and your hard earned money. Go PC if you care about where you dollar goes.
