I’m not paying for multiplayer. The internet, electricity, games and accessories are expensive enough.

It was all downhill from PS4, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Switch.

I will be gaming on steam deck instead.

PS4 /x360 had paid multiplayer…

The PS4 and 360 were not contemporaries. The PS3 was the 360's competitor, and at the time, PSN was actually free. You could play multiplayer games for free on Sony's system, and Microsoft could not say the same.

But then, well Microsoft could tell its shareholders they were making tons of money off Xbox Live, and Sony could not say the same.
