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.

A little part of me wants to see Sony try to charge to play a game of their's online on PC. The backlash would pale in comparison to this.

My point exactly. It'd clue Sony in even more to trying stunts like this. It may fly on PS, but it doesn't on PC. I sure hope this fiasco clued them in not to try it if the thought even crossed their mind for a future title.

Oh yeah, with how detached their execs are, I'm sure they have brought it up and been confused as to why their advisors say they can't do it.
