I dont think they lied. The never charged for multiplayer on ps3. However they are for ps4 and I am fine with that if they do dedicated servers and continue PS+ perks(I recently go PS+ during their march sale). Xbox Live multiplayer outside of cross game chat and party chat sucks balls. Its a constant lag fest these days and I only have Gold to play because I dont watch netflix etc. and its bs that they make you have gold for that too.
Exactly, Sony danced around the question but they never promised they would not charge for MP on PS4...
