question about PS4 version

[Alhanelem]

You do realise Xbox has done this for years and years, and as far as I know are still planning on making Xbox Live necessary for online gaming on Xbox One?

I never owned an xbox 360 but my understanding was normal multiplayer generally only required silver membership which was free (which was all FFXI required as well)

The point i'm making is if you need to worry about 4.99 a month, you probably shouldn't be buying a PS4 let alone a gaming PC!!

The point is I don't want to pay completely unnecessary monthly costs if I don't have to, regardless of financial need. Why pay more to play the game on a console when you can pay less to play the same game on the PC, and probably with better quality? The choice is obvious if you ask me. I can't believe people are defending this.

If you need a $5 monthly fee for no good reason just to show people you're not poor or something, power to you. But having money doesn't mean you have to waste it unnecessarily. I'll play my multiplayer games on the PC (or Wii U), which don't charge extra for a basic feature.
