Boy, it sure is a good thing that Sony charges a subscription fee for any and all network multiplayer traffic.

Boy, it sure is a good thing that Sony backed off charging a subscription fee for single player PC games

To be clear, that was not a thing. Just the PSN account doesn't require payment. The subscription is for playing in MP and (I think) access to online media like yt.

The account is step one to lock you into their ecosystem to then force payment plans.

Probably, but it hasn't been on the table yet. Saying that it was is just going to hurt valid criticism.

Subscription fee? Is this true? Do they have a PC Game Pass service now?
