To me games are not a service. They are products for me to purchase and I don't want o purchase anything temporary. It's more like an extremely limited rental service. The "free" games on PSN+ are more like rentals. But you don't get to pick them out. Sony picks some games and allows you to download and play them. Who say's I wanted those games? Maybe I want different games. Subscribers are paying for access to these "free" games regardless of if they get any games that interest them. If PSN+ was more like Netflix, meaning that you pay a monthly fee to access 1 or 2 games a month but have access to the entire catalog of games, I could at least see the value. But as the service is right now, I just don't want to spend money on access to games Sony picks for me and sales on stuff I may not want. |
While I do understand your gripes that Sony picks the stuff and that you don't actually own the games that you can access without further payment apart from your subscription fee, I do think that without these limitations the service would realistically cost 10 or more times the amount it does now, which makes it way less attractive to me, especially because Sony often picks really good games tbh.
But plus definitely is not an "extremely limited rental service", as you can keep all the stuff you got at once and for however long your subscription runs.. that's way different to renting something for a few days. And additionally there are sales on a lot of things which you can buy and keep "forever".
