    Remember when you didn’t have to pay for a subscription to play console games online?

      It’s infuriating.

      I mainly play on PC where thankfully I don’t have to worry about that.

      But I also have a Nintendo switch, and get this shit… they don’t even let you back up your save games online. we’re talking about fucking kilobytes of data per game that they’re too stingy to provide.

      You can’t even back up game saves to the microSD!

      If your switch breaks, is stolen, or you just get a new one, you lose your game saves unless you pay for Nintendo online.

      No I don’t. Gold was there pretty much from the get go. Without would be better, but what you asked I don’t recall existing.

          Only selected few games had that on PS2. Games were largely SP on top of that. It wasn’t default free, it was a fee except for few exceptions.

          Never owned PS3 so no comment on that.

          BUT, my original question is still applicable. The past you speak of wasn’t common and not something that’s agreed to be the “good old days” so to speak.

          Not saying what you peddle wouldn’t be great, it would, but your statement simply isn’t accurate.
