They said from the get go that Paid Online was coming. No one should be suprised.They should just delay it indefinitely. The system doesn't offer an online service that's worth paying for since major functionality requires your phone too. I love my Switch but I'll never be able to justify paying for online on the system.
It's going to be hard telling people who already purchased games like Rocket League why they suddenly need to pay a fee a year in too.
THIS! No rush for me I'm good. Not a big online player anyway.I'm fine with them taking their time. Keep it free as long as you can.
