I would pay just to not have to play on PC, even if my money went into a void and gave me nothing else.Console users decided long ago that paying twice to use your own internet is an essential part of the console gaming experience.
If ps fans didn't like it when sony announced paid online at the beginning of the 8th gen, they should have jumped ship to PC. They had no excuse. PC gaming was really affordable back then and PS4 had no backwards compatibility
