It's more of a case of that weren't complaining about it anymore. Sony's been losing money keeping the online free so it was just a matter of time. We've just come to acceptance better than lems with Gold since they needed to justify it's use.

 

The fact that people are all of the sudden trusting Sony and their security policies from the past is beyond me.  I'll admit, I was seriously considering getting a PS4 but hated myself for it because of BS everyone seems to forget that Sony put everything through when they thought it was a glorious idea to store passwords in plain text.  Everyone remember??  How long was PSN down for?  Months?  Now that MS has had a change of heart its a no brainer for me.... 

But... But... Sony's sh!t smells like roses....  HA!!! Sony's past is a hell of a lot worse than what Microsoft pulled with XB1, and there is no denying that.  

I get that people get hacked, and there is no one that is safe, even Microsoft.  Though when companies do not care enough and do the absolute minimum which put peoples identities at risk, and then sell out their employees.  Sorry... never forgiven for that.  Say what you will about Microsoft and the fiasco that was XB1, though I trust Microsoft a hell of a lot more than Sony when it comes to giving them financial information.

Well lets see. Sony screwed up massively from that incident, that's inarguable. After something like that happens I doubt they'd wanna get lazy with their web security anymore and they've been doing their best to make up for that incident. Whether or not it will happen again, we don't know. But I'm sure Sony didn't take that incident lightly since it's damaged their reputation massively. Now lets look at Microsoft who's been having a PR disaster since the Xbone announcement. They go the whole week of E3 trying to justify Xbone's always online and DRM only to take it off days later due to the response Sony's gotten from E3. I don't know about you but after Microsoft did the equivalent of telling people complaining about those issues (including 360 owners) to f**k off back to the 360 I wouldn't say they're trustworthy either. At least we see Sony trying to improve after this gen.

Yeah about that, I've heard that it's only until the release of the Xbox One80 then that promo ends.

http://www.gamechup.com/ps4-playstation-plus-details-cross-game-chat-doesnt-require-the-service/

 

We have some new details on PS Plus for the PS4. It will be required to play online but not for free-to-play games or MMOs. One subscription will grant access to all accounts on that system.

Cross game chat and other media functions wont require the subscription. This includes services like Netflix.

Games will be added and removed just like the current subscription on PS3 and you will be getting one new PS4 game every month. Its not clear whether it would be a PS Plus edition like DriveClub which has altered content.

The subscription isnt required for automatic updates. It will cost $50 or $5 per month. Its something you pay for PS Plus already on PS3 so it really isnt a surprise.

The PS4 will be released sometime later this year and according to some retailer listings in Europe, it could be out on November 13.

 

SO now that the reason most lems on here use to justify paying for LIVE Gold is being made free on PS4, is there a reason now to pay for LIVE Gold? Sure you have to pay for PS+ to play online but it's cheaper and with the value it brings (including free* games and discounts) it's hard to not see the value it brings to the table.

               *The free games are playable so long as your PS+ remains active and they remain in your download list forever whether or not you have PS+

Well considering you get free games every month unlike XBL Gold I wouldn't mind too much for paying for it. Annoying yes, but it does gives back with benefits.

Ok, there is NO WAY people can still be excited for this system at this point.

Well at least it's on more powerful hardware so we don't have to worry about any cutbacks. Just release the game, we're tired of Lightning already.

Oh please, if Sony were the ones being accused you'd be singing a different tune right now. All fanboys are bad. The idort master race reign supreme

Because the PS3 already has online passes for Sony's first party games (circa Resistence 3)

Demonjoe93
Online pass =/= DRM. ayou can still play it offline.
