Free to Play doesn't require PS+. Don't know about other companies, but it's been said that S.O.E. are not using PS+ for their free to play games. that means

DC universe Online, Planetside 2, and their third game don't require PS+ to play.

And its still a bad idea. You dont just get an idea to charge money for your service. They just saw that MS got away with it, so now they do the same crap too.

Thats also the reason why no one should buy an X1, because it would encourage all companies to do the same DRM shit.

well actually i have a theory behind this.

because the consoles have such powerful hardware in them, and because they are being sold at such a loss, i think sony got this idea to use online fees so that they can have lower launch prices for consoles, and still make up their losses. those fees will stack up over time, and eventually the manufacturing of the console will pay for itself. at least thats the reason why I personally think they went down this route.

while i personally dont like it, i'd rather pay for my online, than have to deal with DRM.

besides once the console is all payed for it will go towards improving the service

Stopped reading right there.

Fact: Premium servers cost money to maintain. If PSN wants to provide the best gaming experience, they can't maintain multi-million dollar data centers without having to charge money anymore. The demand goes up with games expanding requiring more memory processing power.

So there is your answer right there Slayer, in black and white, no speculation or "theory" required.
