    Alright, then play games where you can host your own server. There are plenty. That doesn’t work for all games though (particularly ranked games where the server software has to be verified or people could easily cheat), so you’ll be limited in what you can play.

      The problem is that there aren’t plenty. Every year number of online games that allow you to host your own server decreases.

      I’m not super familiar with current console allowances, but are you suggesting that people can just “host their own server” and not pay the psn or Xbox live fees that are forced onto them? I just don’t think that’s true. You have to pay the fee to connect to any server, even your own.

        This was more about general gaming, but you can connect to some games online without a subscription on Xbox. Not all.
