You seriously didn't expect it to be free forever? Those servers cost money to run haha. And also, smaller games don't have as many dedicated servers or as good of dedicated servers. So making sure Sony can manage that for them is definitely a +.
Expect an increase in the quality of multiplayer games online, which was a complain of a number of people in the past when comparing both consoles.
I don't understand how some people can't comprehend simple things like text on a screen. It's there, plain and simple, no inference to be had, no way to be confused on what I said since there's no voice tone behind it, no expression; just a simple two sentence statement that offers nothing than what I stated:
"PS4 requires PS+ for MP. They're on par with MSFT now with that it seems like."
Do you want to know exactly what I meant? Let me break it down:
1. The PS4 requires PS+ for MP now.
2. They're on par with MSFT now with that is seems like.
Does that make it clearer for you?
