we don't, we pray nintendo's approach is the most successful and we only get charged $20 a year for it

You can't. Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft are way too greedy to stop.

It's too late, Sony made it too popular.

regulate the industry
oh, wait, the government is only meant to help the rich.

how would the other companies react if sony, xbox, or nintendo just stopped using paid online

Do you really want the government regulating everything.

Servers and energy don't grow on trees. Even devs have to shell out for their own servers on Steam. Someone's always paying.

wasn't xbox the first one to charge for online?

>Sony
Microsoft you retard.
Demand the ability to self-host.
You're a fucking retard, centralized server and matchmaking cancer is also widespread on PC. The days of self-hosted games like AoE2, WC3, Starcraft, and Diablo II are long over.

>Do I want the government to regulate everything
Yes, if it's a government of the people.

I would much rather everything was regulated than everything was unregulated.

Stop playing online games.

No such thing.

What's the difference between LAN and online (self-hosted) multiplayer? What would it change? Nothing.

play on pc

You build a PC and play games on that instead.

Go back to the ps2 era
