I don't play online anyway so it doesn't really concern me. It's nice that they kept it open and free until then though.

I don't think it's a matter of kindness, it's a matter of smart business.

Their multiplayer library currently lack sufficient draw to convince a large numbers of gamers to pay for the online subscription. If they launch it when nobody is eager to jump online for a new online multiplayer game, they risk people complaining about suddenly being asked to pay a subscription fee when their library for it is poor. Right now, the only thing people can fall back on when defending it is saying it's not that expensive.

If Smash comes out this year as they claim, be it a remake or not, that would be the perfect time to launch their subscription service. When a bunch of gamers are hyped about playing a "new' Smash game, and don't care about any extra fees for online play. Even better of Pokemon comes out near the same time, as they claim it will.

And once you get people to start the subscription service, they are more likely to renew it year after year.
