Well they're charging $5 a month too which is totally lame It may sound stupid but I'm considering not buying one because of that one problem Think about the long term effect they'll take advantage and the price will just increase with each generation |

@Crystal What I'm saying is that for right now it's $5 but once they see how many people pay it they're just going to increase it slightly until its like $50 and since its so gradual people will think that's normal that they have to pay that Basically it's going to stop poorer people from playing and making the same profit and it shouldn't be like that |

Yes it is However you think it works its still taking an unnecessary $5 a month If they're not making enough money don't you think they would've required PSN to be $5 already? |

t90 PSN is completely free All they did was take multiplayer from the free side, and add it to the PS+ side which is $5/m or $50/y they aren't going to increase it to more than $7 if even that considering they said it would stay the same price They would lose customers if they rose it higher |

That's what I'm saying though Here's an example: 500 customers paying $5 a month = $2500 The company raises the price to $25, and loses customers There's still people that will pay that amount so it's 100 customers paying $25 = $2500 But the company will also force some people to pay more even though they aren't really willing to 110 customers = $2750 they're making a small profit more than having more customers and that's why they do it |

1. That's not what I'm saying 2. Therefore you're arguing at nothing My logic is only "bad" because you're not understanding For no reason at all they're charging $5 each month and some people won't do that I know quite a few poor people with ps3s because they couldn't pay for the Xbox each month Instead of having a ps4, they will have a ps3 still even though they COULD have a ps4 |

ok let me explain this You're right they could do what you're saying, except they would not force people to pay, and they'd most likely make less, except here are some reasons they would not do that: Larger community = more devs want to make games for said platform = more $$$ for sony

Well I think it's good for devs with like 1-5 games to charge online but then you have the huge companies like Treyarch Activision Capcom etc companies that already have more than enough money for the rest of their lives Why shouldn't the poor be allowed to have entertainment just because of corporate greed? |

it's funny because that's the exact opposite of what's going on in the majority of VGF
>microsoft did live with 360 >omg microsoft is the devil too expensive!!! >sony does ps+, pretty much the same restrictions as live and same price >dont see what the big deal is, if you cant afford it you must be awfully poor |

'Lowered the bar'. I think microsoft hit the bar, and fell underneath it. |
