PS4 Now requires PS+ for MULTIPLAYER!

I think it makes more sense for them to give backcatalog games from Gaikai through PS+, especially after the console launches. Mainly because the games on Gaikai are going to be older PS3 games that will cost a lot less money after PS4 launches. I don't see them giving away too many full PS4 games just after PS4 launches. I am actually surprised they are even giving Drive Club away. I guess they intend to show their commitment to PS+ especially for making it a requirement for MP now.

Of course SCE wants to make cloud game streaming a part of the premium service, but my point is I seriously doubt paying $50 a year for PSN+ is going to grant subscribers carte blanche access to the entire back catalog of PS games as it becomes available. Maybe some old games, much like PSN+ currently, but I still expect to see per game licensing fees/access fees for most PS3 games. 

Oh no I didn't mean the ENTIRE backlog of games. No frikin way. I meant just 2-3 games a month like we see currently on PS+.

That to me makes more sense. Other than that, you'll be able to buy each game individually just like you can buy PS1 and PS2 classics. Only difference is that those games will be streamed and hence won't require updating to be running on a new PS4 architecture. That might make their releases a lot quicker.
