Oh, it probably does, but just showing a perspective that says this isn’t the sinister thing people are making it out to be. :/

As someone who runs a Steam Community board that already has a team of moderators... I personally was quite happy to know we had the option of not having a second group of people policing things. No need to bring in the national guard when the on duty night officer keeps the already quiet ship running just fine.

Erm... no, didn’t get everything wrong. The discussion had drifted to how long you could keep the games after expiration. My point was that due to the 7 day check, you could theoretically keep the games 7 days longer than you paid for them, rather than PSN+ which sets a hard license stop to the day of.

Sure, I’ll double down in fact:

I honestly see the NES games as a testing ground for the full service we’ve heard rumors about for years. Considering how close to the rumor this is, I’m seeing it as credible. The reason for the long delay and the hush hush about the words “Virtual Console” is because Nintendo plans to make this service a much bigger…

Nope, licenses do in fact expire on PS systems after a month.

I just did. Your points are nothing more than childish conspiracy theory to which you have zero evidence or a shred of proof. We’re done sweetie. Please understand it’s all you.

When your argument is casting shade and doubts over very simple things that any person with an ounce of common sense could possibly offer, you’re already losing an argument.

MMORPGs typically take 180 per customer every year. (Even the F2Ps, via storefronts, averaged.) I’m not sure you understand how different hosting game severs is from normal web servers. Your typical hosting server, even the more expensive ones, start to quit if more than a few hundred to a few thousands people use it…

So the only difference, between Nintendo and Sony here, is 7 days instead of 30?

I wish I had a GIF right now to show me giving up on humanity when people make statements about things that they don’t understand. It IS that expensive to maintain servers nowadays. The cost has only INCREASED with time, not decreased. Even consumer shared hosting solutions are at an all time record high for the…

And as someone who’s run web servers for two decades, it behooves me to point out if you’ve so much as owned a personal website in your life that hosting stuff costs money. We can pretend all we’d like that we should be entitled to these things that weren’t part of the industry when we started, and talk about the good…

Take your PS4 offline for 30 days past your renewal for PS+, then tell me that it doesn’t expire.

I’m considering you might be, attempting to twist the word “service” when it’s clear as day that the paid online service is offering servers to play on, which will easily remedy all the issues Smash players have had.

Eh, people have been demanding an online service from Nintendo for years, they finally put it out, make it then cheapest that any service has ever been, and people complain about it more.

Q: What happens to the games and add-ons I download for free through a PS Plus membership if I decide to not renew my membership?

Funny, because half my games on my PS4 shut me out 30 minutes after going offline.

It actually does, the liscence won’t renew and you won’t be able to access the games. In fact for newer games, most have 24/7 check licences... so might wanna double check on that. Don’t believe me, play a Square-Enix game on the PS4 and go offline.

Aww, that’s so sweet. <3
But yeah, just pointing out that there are people like me who have literally no interest in Splatoon 2 who are getting this. XD
My BotW save matters more. <_<

Erm... both Sony and Microsoft literally have similar policies in place for their free games.
