Sony's online strategy was an afterthought and now we are seeing the effects of it.

What did you expect from Sony? It's not like they are rich.

It's a free service. We don't pay for the servers so they will be pulled if the player numbers drop.

Actually it does affect the PSN. Since you get you online MP free. Dev's have to pay for their own servers, and they will pull the pug if not enough people are playing. So this REALLY affects the PS3. Especially when XBL games will remain online, and same for Xbox.

They don't have to be rich. They can charge a fee like MS.

Here's the problem: There's no one playing a certain game in Xbox Live. What's the point of keeping online active in a game that is barren online?

*sighs* Here I thought it would this would be a meaningful thread about the various ideas that were hinted at. Oh well..

P.S. Theres no indication that it is due to the PS3 at all, MGS: PO will still be offering online and its on PSP without it's unified system. Online games goes offline all the time, just read the article to get that much.

Because some people STILL do play those games. And just like MGS3, not too many people are left online. And some of you here are complaining...And I only have to pay 50 bucks a year to assure this.

So a online PS2 server shutting down means PSN will shut down?

No, it means that if dev's see fit, they can pull the plug on their games or charge you to play their games online. So this is definitely not a good thing for the future.

Not really, the options are to let me choose what I want to spend my money on. Not give the dev's the option to can their games online whenever they feel like it.

lol. Lemmings never argue the topic at hand. Ok, I'll play the game with you. So paying $50 for Halo 2 for infinite is better, than not paying a online fee and play it for a couple of years? I understand since Halo is the only good franchise, but PS3 has more than one great game to be played.

Gamespy is really bad. XBL is light years way better than gamespy so don't even try and argue it isn't.
