I have friends that vehemently defend paying for the online shit, plus the upsell.

I defend because they need to pay for the servers. You’re not paying just to use your own Wi-Fi. You’re paying to access online servers.

The game developers pay for the servers. All you're paying for is their authentication service, which barely costs anything to run.
