Perhaps. But sony drones lined up in droves to spend the money anyway, so it's kinda everyone's fault. I haven't paid for console online since like 2011. Fuck that. PS used to be free I shouldn't fucking have to pay just to try uncharted online

Yeah, free online was a huge factor in me choosing Sony during the PS3 era. But M$ was deadset on a sub system and Sony was basically like "might as well, free money!" and now gaming is ruined :(

PS3 had to bribe everyone with free old games, which set its own precedent.
The end result being a nigh-badgering about not buying into whatever "fun club":

"You should sign up for the paid membership!"
"Nah, I'm not really interested in playing online."
"But, look at all the cool games we're throwing at you!"
"Nah, I either already have those games and don't want them, and I'm not really interested in playing online anyway."
"Exclusive user avatars!!"
"Nah, it's just just cosmetics that only really matter online, and I'm not really interested in playing online anyway."
"Exclusive discounts!"
"Those games will be even cheaper in a few months on their own, and I'm not really interested in playing online anyway."
"We're locking UI functions that should be standard behind the paywall"
"Okay, that's annoying, but I'M NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN PLAYING ONLINE anyway!!"

understandable that they would start charging with all the xbros justifying paying for online. why wouldn't they take advantage of consumers that like to fuck themselves over.
