PlayStation Plus and Games with Gold: Their fault or our greed?

[binary solo]

When you start out offering AAA games that launch for $60 on PSN+ and GWG, and then drop to offering only indie games that launch for <$20 then you are offering a lesser service than you did originally.

If McDonalds took the second patty out of their Big Mac but still charged the same price would you be happy about it? It's still got all the exact same ingredients, there's just less of one single ingredient.

Say what you will, indies are not just the same as AAA games. SOny has squeezed the shit out of TLOU, for instsance. They should put TLOUR on PSN+. FFS they are giving away TLOUR with every PS4 these days, so what's the harm in putting on PSN+ for a couple of months? They should put KZ:SF on PSN+, they should put inFamous SS on PSN+ early next year. Even though it would break their minimum metascore rule they should put The Order on PSN+. Lots of people say the Order is worth playing, they just don't think it is worth paying AAA price. If they put The Order on PSN+, it might get a lot more people playing it and with the right tweaks to the gameplay it could set things up for an actually good and successful sequel. Hell, all you need is a Shadow of Mordor style melee combat system vs the werewolves and you pretty much have the gameplay situation sorted, and it gives you the ability to put more werewolf battles into the game.

Speaking of...Shadow of Mordor should go on PSN+.

I'm never going to buy TLOUR for PS4 because I have it for PS3 and I'm satisfied with it. But if TLOUR came to PSN+ I would download it and it would certainly help to convince me to keep my PSN+ subs going next year. As things stand I am unlikely to keep my subs going, as while the quantity of games is fine I am just not finding the games being offered compelling enough to justify continuing my subs. Most likely, with the games I already have obtained from PSN+ I will buy a 1 month sub when I want to play them (like with Yakuza 4). It was certainly brilliant value when I got Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, Yakuza 4 and a few others. The only game I play a lot of right now is Rocket League and by the time my sub is up for renewal I might not be playing it any more.
