[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 70 points 1 month ago* (3 children) I've been annoyed since multi-player became a paid service since the ps3, but it's nice to finally have some validation. Only took 20 years but... E: and we can't forget the rootkit fiasco either permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago stares lovingly at my PC permalink fedilink source parent [–] oneser@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago (1 child) Same! And yeah, getting 2 free games for compromising all user data, months before they launch PSN plus with rotating free games...

It was free on PlayStation. When they changed it I just stopped playing online. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 point 1 month ago Yeah, I had an Xbox for one game (Midtown Madness 3), and played through the trial for live, but never subscribed. I'm not sure if I paid for a month of psn+ during the gta5 launch, but if I did that would have been the only time I've put money to play multi-player. Didn't take the bait for Games for Windows Live garbage either. It would take until the pc release of Halo 3/ODST/Reach/4 for me to play them, even though I badly wanted to play in their prime. Principles and all that. And I was pissed that MS shelved their windows gaming division to milk the Xbox. permalink fedilink source parent
