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

You had to pay to play online on Xbox a decade before that. It was free on PlayStation. When they changed it I just stopped playing online.

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.

Same!

And yeah, getting 2 free games for compromising all user data, months before they launch PSN plus with rotating free games... Felt odd...

There were 2 games compromising user data on the ps3? Which ones were those?

[-] oneser@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 hours ago

No, users were offered 2 (I think?) free games as compensation for the PS3 data breach.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_PlayStation_Network_outage

On May 16, 2011, Sony announced that two PlayStation 3 games and two PSP games would be offered for free from lists of five and four,† respectively.[75][76] The games available varied by region[75][76] and were only available in countries which had access to the PlayStation Store prior to the outage.[76]
