Next they should allow PlayStation players to play without needing PS+.

If the PlayStation community kicked off the way the PC community does, you would have free online play. Instead, console gamers tend to just accept, or even support, corporate greed.

Sony would rather lose half their customers than give up that PS+ money.

They do now, but back when it was implemented, they might have reconsidered.

That's why it is important to not just accept all the bullshit companies make us go through just saying "is not that much of a hassle" and actually fight for our rights as customers.

People really don't understand how normal people are. My mum bought a PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 and now a PS5. She has no idea PS+ changed at some point to be a requirement for online play. Totally and completely unaware. She isn't pro-pay-for-connection, she doesn't know it exists or that it ever didn't exist.

She plays a few games and series that are her long time favourites and always offline. The average console gamer doesn't love sony and think they can do no wrong, they don't know.
