    I really don’t think the cost of running it was even considered. It’s just an excuse some people make to justify paying for it. I’ve never seen anything from MS or Sony saying it. It has nothing to do with it. It’s just an extra thing they can charge for. The fact some people do try to justify it with “server costs” is sad. Every multiplayer game should be a subscription if that were the case, since they need to pay for their servers, but people wouldn’t make an excuse for them. The fact the console users want to justify using a console sucks.

        I should clarify: console users want to justify paying for a service that shouldn’t be required to pay for (a second time). It’s just that using a console requires it (unless you play single-player only), so it ruins the whole console, in my opinion.
