  There was a time where it was worth the money because it was far and away better than any free online offering. That time was probably up to about 2010. Now that servers are paid for with digital game sales, it would behoove them to drop the fee. Instead, I think they’re just about to change the console market as we know it.

    Instead, I think they’re just about to ~change~ end the console market as we know it.

      Also accurate. But it’s looking like we’ll still have $500 machines called Xboxes and PlayStations, except they’ll just be fancy PCs. That’s my guess anyway.

        Possibly. I can see Xbox backing out personally, and just putting their games on PC and the other consoles.

        Sony will probably carry on… and Nintendo likely has a detailed business plan for the next 100 years.

        They already are just PCs and have been since the PS4/XBone. It’s all just slightly customized PC hardware inside.
