I think as people pointed out, paying forces you to play the game. Yes PC will have the Battlestar Galactica mods in a week, but in 2 weeks only ps5 players will remain, just like we still have battlefield 3 players on ps3.
"Payng forces you to play the game" therefore paid online on console is a good thing, you guys are no different than Xbots, you just happened to be fanboys of a better console.
I am a fan of a much better console, so are 49.9 million others. But learn to read. Where do i say it is a good thing? It is the norm since Neverwiner NIghts costing 5 bucks an hour in 1991."Payng forces you to play the game" therefore paid online on console is a good thing, you guys are no different than Xbots, you just happened to be fanboys of a better console.

Street Fighter 5 required PS+ for online on PS4, but not on PC. That was almost 10 years ago. So, what the hell people are crying about? Or bunch of people have a fish brain, forgetting that this is a thing since launch of PS4. Xbox is also no different too
The lengths you guys go to justify paid online is laughable.
The same devs can release the game on Steam, give 30% to Valve and still have the servers up just fine but on console Sony needs you to pay a monthly fee for that?

You're new to a console with paid online?
Oh no this dumb thread is coming back to life 
You want Sony to make an exception for Helldivers 2 only? It's too late now. The fight was lost long ago.

Trust me, at least we are not saying cause it premium, like xbots said in the 360 gen.The lengths you guys go to justify paid online is laughable.

These Sony multiplayer games which release simultaneously on PS5 and PC should not be behind a paywall on PS5 either.
Simple solution.
Obviously Sony is requiring PSN on PC to increase their MAU numbers.

Did you know you have to use a dualsense to play this game on a ps5 when you can use any controller and even a keyboard to play it on pc???
WTF SONY
WTF SONY
Why not COD, FIFA, Madden, Suicide Squad and the other dozens of mp games? Why stop at Helldivers 2?
Helldivers needs to be the sacrificial lamb that will reverse paid online for some reason. This whole thing is manufactured outrage and dumb.
This, if they respected their core costumers even a little that is what they would be doing.
In reality, they probably don't care enough to even notice the absurdity of this situation where you are charged considerably more for playing a PlayStation game on PlayStation instead of PC.
To those pretending they don't understand how bad this make them look, you are going to be the ones that kill PlayStation in the end by being just like Xbots and pretending to like everything Sony does even when they do stupid shit.
True I get your point. Couldn’t care less what that crowd thinks.
This whole PC Day 1 will open a can of worms for Sony when it comes to multiplayer games.
No PC release no issues.
Maybe should have reduced the price of the PS5 version or increase the price of the PC version.
Or online is free.
As someone mentioned in the thread just give PS5 owners some perks and rewards. Same way they did with GTA V PS4 / PS5 to make people GTA Online feel like the superior package on PlayStation.
But the people at Playstation are very disconnected from their audience these days.
Yep. Microsoft started it and Sony realised a good portion of gamers were prepared to pay so it suits all the console manufacturers.Oh no this dumb thread is coming back to life
