PlayStation Plus membership cost to go up in Europe/Australia
Preferences and limits. Just because someone has money for a PS4 it doesn't mean he/she should buy the overpriced online service.stop complaining! if you have the money to buy ps4 then sure you have the money to pay 80$ every year like bunch of suckers for online subscription. good job sony. nintendo should learn.
Free PC online servers work fine *cough*Unfortunately, maintaining servers isn't free. Those who believe we shouldn't pay for online services are wrong. The last thing I want to see rise up, is a Free To Play online service. We all know the absolute crap fest that F2P brings. We don't need that.
However I will agree, that these prices are way out of hand. Anything upwards of 30€/$/£ is ridiculous for online play.
Anything upwards of $0 is ridiculous, why in God's name would I pay for internet access twice? That's just dumb.Unfortunately, maintaining servers isn't free.

If thats true then explain why the glorious pcmasterrace gets online access on every single 3rd party multiplayer game for free.Because you're not paying for internet access. You're paying for a quality online gaming service, with functioning servers that cost money to run.

As a pc gamer myself, I have to point out that the quality of the online services in consoles, is usually far better than the pc counterpart. Mainly in regards to lag reduction and quality of the overall experience.
This is especially the case for non AAA games.
You state it like it's fact. I'm a pc gamer as well and I'd disagree.
lag reduction
i dont think there are many here saying they shouldnt, but rather why the prices are so damn high just to play with my bro who lives a few blocks away from me.ITT: entitlement, entitlement, entitlement
For those of you who think that you shouldn't pay for online, go back on PC with your cheaters and shitty online support. Servers can't run out of thin air.
PS+ gives online capabilities, cloud saves and free games every month, yet you still bitch about it. Rotfl.
Did they even say why the price is going up? And why in some regions only?
