Simple : Pay some bucks to be able to offer them for free to their consumers. They already do it with playstation + and guess what, this is a success. If they're not from sony studios, they're from rockstar, Square enix studio or kojima studio. All those studios have strong bonds with Sony, I'm even sure Sony wouldn't need to drop a single $ in the move. Do not tell me people do not see consumers being happy with Sony if they made something like that ? The advantage coming from it would be huge from them. |
Pay a few bucks for hundreds of games to offer them for free? Sony is a business. PSN is intended to make a profit. PS+ is intended to make a profit. You're asking them to pay a LOT of money just so you won't have to?
Why are you sure that Square would give their games away for free just because Sony asked? Square, which is notorious for over-charging? Those are businesses, too, who are in this whole thing to make money.
And no, making some older games free would not translate into much profit. They might win a few new customers because of that but most of those would be people who would just play the free offerings. I fail to see how this would be a good business move by Sony or anyone else. Basically, what you're saying is, "I want them free, so they should be free." There is very little logic in your arguments.
The only thing that should be done, that needs to be done, is for certain publishers, like Square, to offer their back catalog are more reasonable amounts. However, I'm not so entitled that I think I should get everything free.
