The Playstation is a shared household device. It has a single account on it, all I can say is thank god I did make her a Playstation network account. Yes I made the account! Because she has to use my credit card to pay for the SUBSCRIPTION! She is a minor! So therefore I am sole the reasonability of the account!

Which takes me to my next point

I am not buying a game that is single player! If it was, then your point would be valid! You would need to buy it for any device you want to play it on! The fact it’s a subscription based game, it should in theory be accessible from any device which has the game installed, because it would have been paid for! AND MY ACCOUNT DATA IS STORED IN THE "CLOUD" not on a single device!

Yes you can create roaming profiles, let me guess, you can access it from any device that supports the profile type. EG, Windows 7 Domain Profile that roams with you to another computer connected to the same network. Well done! Congrats! Now trying doing that with 20GB of data installed. Enjoy your long login time.

Here are some examples of where the content is free or charged at 1 off, In return you just pay a subscription to access it on any device that it is supported on.
  • Eve Online – Longest subscription game ever! Free to download, Just pay for subscription
  • WoW – Login to any device with the game installed, Just use your account details.
  • Guild Wars 2 – Can access your account data on device that has the game installed!
  • Office 365! Can access your data from any supported device, guess what! Its subscription based!
My dig is not at you, your first comment was helpful, the rest was pointless! I’m just surprised that a subscription based game where all data is stored within the “cloud” is so restricted.
