Please do not give them that idea. I still haven't gotten over Sony charging $60 a year to give you the privilege to play online with your friends.

Soon it'll cost $150/yr to play a modern console like you should be able to

I still can't believe this practice was normalized, why would anyone be ok with paying Sony/MS to use their own internet connection they already pay for? It's not like an MMO sub where you're paying for server maintenance or something, most of these games are p2p or running on the publisher's servers. Console gamers will put up with anything apparently (maybe because their parents are paying for it)
